“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.” – The Log Lady, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Fire plays a critical role in Twin Peaks. Originally, I planned on writing about…
It’s been a hell of a week. As we are all currently in a time out and staying the frak home, I’m finally finishing an article I started researching last Monday. After examining Harold Smith’s apartment for this Vacant Peaks article, I turned my attention to the books scattered throughout his place. Here’s a look…
In Twin Peaks Season 2, we are introduced to Harold Smith, a kind soul who captures fellow residents’ stories as part of his living novel. He lives in an apartment near Mrs. Tremond’s house and once counseled Laura Palmer. For this Vacant Peaks article, let’s take a look at his place without people.
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 Seasons 1 and 2.
During my explorations into the film location for Twin Peaks, there are certain scenes and spots that I’ve understood I may never find.

He tells Cooper that it’s the place where they have gathered together for the past 20 years and that the coffee is…
I recently explored scenes in Twin Peaks that used the gazebo in Easter Park. This time, I’m taking a look at Easter Park and Black Lake. According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” Easter Park doesn’t exist. It’s called Upper Twin Park and Lower Twin Park. Black Lake is further north along Highway…
In Episode 1002 of Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne tells Donna Hayward at the Double R Diner that “Agent Cooper loves coffee.” Fueled by multiple cups of coffee on National Coffee Day 2018, I spent all day examining just how much Cooper enjoys a cup o’ joe that is “black as midnight on a moonless night.”
This is the second part of the Vacant Peaks series about Leo and Shelly Johnson’s house. This recurring series captures glimpses of buildings, sets, props or details without people. In the first part, I focused on the Pilot Episode and Season 1 of Twin Peaks. For this article, I’m looking at Season 2 and one brief scene…
