In the second season of Twin Peaks, Shelly Johnson and Bobby Briggs hatch a plan to get paid for taking care of a comatose Leo Johnson. As part of their scheme, they decorate Leo’s make-shift bedroom with a clown motif, including an image originally painted by Pablo Picasso in 1918.
Julee Cruise appeared as the Girl Singer in the Twin Peaks pilot episode that aired on April 8, 1990. Her performance sparked a renewed interest in her freshman album, “Floating Into The Night.” Many months passed until she returned to The Roadhouse stage in the highly-anticipated, David Lynch-directed episode 2.007 that aired on Nov. 10, 1990….
Did you know that Julee Cruise’s first single from her 1989 “Floating Into the Night” album was not the main theme to Twin Peaks set to vocals? Her iconic song “Falling” would be released on a single on June 12, 1990 following a last minute performance on Saturday Night Live on May 12 and continued excitement…
Inspired by 1950s design, costumes seen in Twin Peaks’ first two seasons were from several notable companies such as Pendleton or Italian-based United Colors of Benetton.

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. These two articles are joined because the houses were part of the same property in Agoura Hills, California. Unfortunately, both houses were destroyed in November 2018…

In particular, I remember many scenes with James Marshall as Laura Palmer’s secret boyfriend, James Hurley. While some have joked about his role, he really does give an emotionally-charged and powerful performance in all three seasons plus Twin…
Now for a deep cut from the Johnson house. You may remember I previously identified the sunflower napkin holder in their kitchen. I return to this spot with details about a prop placed on top of their cupboard.
One of my favorite things to find are props that were carried over from the Pilot Episode to the regular season of Twin Peaks. Thanks to the help of fellow Bookhouse Boy Jason McMahan, I recently picked up a replica of the Con-way Central Express (CCX) Miles Ahead mug that is seen both in the Pilot…
