My journey of exploring the film location for Black Lake Cemetery continues with a nighttime scene between Special Agent Dale Cooper and Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in episode 1003. For the longest time, this scene has confused me. Why would Cooper be hanging out in a cemetery waiting for Dr. Jacoby to show up? As it turns…
The Black Lake Cemetery in Twin Peaks appears in two episodes during the first two season of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece. Today, I’m exploring the first appearance of this Southern California film location seen during Laura Palmer’s funeral in episode 1003.
As a companion piece to the film location article about the Tremond house exterior in Twin Peaks Season 2, I’m taking a closer look at the exterior of Harold Smith’s apartment.
