In “The Autobiography of FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes,” author Scott Frost establishes that Coop has been fascinated by tape recorders since he was a child. As any viewer of the series can attest, this checks out. Throughout Twin Peaks, Dale Cooper uses a total of three different micro cassette recorders….
Here’s a deep cut that I enjoy as both a Twin Peaks prop aficionado and a Northern Californian – a postcard from Jacques Renault’s apartment in Twin Peaks episode 1.005.
My examination of Twin Peaks costumes continues with a look at Leland Palmer (Ray Wise) from Season 1. Similar to Audrey Horne, there were two costumers since Leland appeared in both the Pilot episode and episodes 1.001-1.007.
Today, is an exciting day as the staff at TwinPeaksBlog.com has grown by one. Please welcome fellow Bookhouse Boy (and talented musician) Vinnie Guidera. By chance, we met in person during my trip to Snoqualmie Valley in September 2019. I quickly learned we share a passion for props and places from David Lynch and Mark…
Last weekend, I kicked off a new recurring series that examines costumes worn by a variety of actors in Twin Peaks. That first Costuming Peaks story looked at Audrey Horne’s outfits in the Pilot episode. Today, I’m examining her looks from episodes 1.001 to 1.007. Grab your saddle shoes and let’s go!

One of my great joys writing for this blog is identifying props from Twin Peaks and sharing their fascinating history with you. This time, we return to the Johnson house for a prop in the kitchen that is seen in the first two seasons. I was researching something completely different when I came across this…
I recently shared details about the film location for Jacques Renault’s cabin from Twin Peaks Episode 1005. During my research, I pulled a handful of images without people from the cabins seen in Season 1 and in Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. If you love birds, especially Waldo, the Myna bird, then you will love this…
My parents hail from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, so I recall visiting Horne’s Department Store when I was younger. Joseph Horne (no relation to Ben or Jerry) started his self-named department store in 1849 and quickly built a large building in downtown Pittsburgh in 1879. Eventually, Horne’s was purchased by Federated Department Stores and the Horne’s name was…
