Despite having watching Twin Peaks countless times in the past three decades, I’m still discovering new things about the show. For example, there is a ceramic duck cookie jar found on the Double R Diner set. As one of three cookie jars in the diner, I thought for certain the duck one appeared often throughout the…
There is an undeniable coziness to Twin Peaks that contrasts with its dark subject matter to create a tone that is wholly unique. Part of this coziness is established by the show’s believable clutter, and the set decorations at the Hurley residence are a prime example. Nadine Hurley loves her knickknacks, and one item from…
As part of first season for David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, ABC Television published a series of individual publicity photos featuring various townspeople from the small Pacific Northwest town.

As a follow-up to the deep dive into the Twin Peaks Morgue scene written by Harley Peyton for Twin Peaks episode 1.003, I’m looking at another publicity photo from my collection.

One of the more unique publicity photos I recently acquired at auction is an Associated Press (AP) Laserphoto of Laura Palmer’s funeral scene from Twin Peaks episode 1.003. This printed image on paper is a relic from laser technology first introduced in the mid-1970s. I even found the newspaper where the image was printed in…
Audio commentaries from Directors, writers and crew members who worked on David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks were found on the first season DVD set from Artisan Home Entertainment. Released in December 2001, this set was the first time the series was offered on DVD. The inclusion of these commentaries offered a rare behind-the-scenes at…
The Bookhouse Boys are one of my favorite things from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. This secret society formed in the small Pacific Northwest town had been fighting the evil in the woods for decades. While the group was absent in both David Lynch’s 1992 feature film and third season – “The Return,”…
This virtual visit to the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington includes a postcard of Snoqualmie Falls. The image is from a time before the construction of Snoqualmie Falls Lodge, which opened in 1916 and is known today as Salish Lodge and Spa.

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…
