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.
As a collector of prop replicas, I love it when an item is featured so prominently that it’s easy to identify the make and model. There are several clear shots of Donna Hayward’s cassette player as the gang listens to tapes that Laura has recorded for Dr. Jacoby.
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!

I was asked by Jill Watson, a fellow Bookhouse Gal, on Twitter about the tall tree painting in the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department. It’s a topic that has been on my list of things to cover on Twin Peaks Blog as you know how I like to obsess over these little details. As it turns…
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…
One thing I remember from my original viewing of Twin Peaks in the early 1990s was the unexpected long shots of things like trees, traffic lights, and the ceiling fan at the Palmer house. Prior to Twin Peaks, I hadn’t seen these kinds of shots in a television show. These lingering images added a sense of…
