While researching Twin Peaks High School, I’ve discovered there were five film locations used in the series. The schools in Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me were filmed in Washington state. Van Nuys High School served as the backdrop for Episodes 2010-2012 in season 2. This brings me to the bathroom scenes…
In season two of Twin Peaks, there are three episodes – 2.010, 2.011, and 2.012 – with scenes inside Twin Peaks High School. Unlike the high schools seen in the Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which were shot in Washington state, this location is found in Van Nuys, California. It was the…
In two previous articles, I detailed the locations of the boy and girl scenes from Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime. This final article in that series takes a closer look at the arrival of the Frogmoth at the girl’s bedroom. The interior and exterior scenes were shot in the same location as the “Goodnight…
In a previous article, I discussed the film location in Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime where a boy (played by Xolo Maridueña) and a girl (played by Tikaeni Faircrest) find a lucky penny near a gas station in New Mexico. The scene set in 1956 continues with the couple walking along a dirt path…
In the latter half of Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime, there is a short scene of a boy (played by Xolo Maridueña) and a girl (played by Tikaeni Faircrest) walking by a gas station. This monochromatic scene is supposed to take place on August 5, 1956 in New Mexico. In reality, the scene was…
In Episode 2.022, Audrey Horne performs an act of civil disobedience by chaining herself to a vault in the Twin Peaks Savings and Loan. Shortly after, Andrew Packard and Pete Martell open a safety deposit box filled with a parting gift from Thomas Eckhardt. In reality, the bank was filmed at two different spots in…
At the beginning of Episode 2009, Agents Rosenfield and Cooper join Sheriff Truman and Deputy Hawk for a walk to discuss the latest clues from Maddy Furgeson’s death. The scene is supposed to take place outside Calhoun Memorial Hospital (more on that in a minute). In reality, the crew shot this scene at the popular…
In Twin Peaks, One Eyed Jacks is a casino and brothel located in Canada just over the Washington state line. It was first owned by the Horne brothers before Jean Renault ousted Ben later in the series. The location appears in nine episodes between the first two seasons. In reality, there were two California locations…
In Episode 1.002 of Twin Peaks, Ben and Jerry Horne take a trip to One-Eyed Jacks. The casino and brothel is located in Canada just over the boarder from Washington state. In reality, they arrive at a boat dock located in Agoura Hills, California.
When Special Agent Dale Cooper and Big Ed Hurley go undercover at One Eyed Jack’s, there is a short establishing shot of Deputy Hawk’s surveillance van. This shot first appears in Episode 1.006 and is reused in Episode 1.007. In reality, the 1985 GMC Vandura van was filmed around Malibou Lake in southern California.
