In a fictional world as rich and mystifying as Twin Peaks, it’s easy to take the practical details for granted. While some featured props and decorations had to be both memorable and believable, others simply had to be present because their absence would be distracting. I recently acquired a small collection of screen-used odds and…
A handheld tape recorder is likely the first prop that comes to mind when one thinks of Twin Peaks. I’ve previously detailed the three recorders in Agent Cooper’s arsenal, but he isn’t the only character who makes use of such gadgets. To my infinite delight, I recently acquired Bobby Briggs’ screen-used Olympus microcassette recorder from…
You’ve probably noticed the jadeite green coffee mug seen around the Twin Peaks Sheriff Department (which Steven Miller first wrote about here in 2018). But did you know the station also has an identical counterpart with a peach colored finish?
This recognizable set decoration from Twin Peaks‘ second season has been rather elusive in my hunt for a replica, but I’ve finally narrowed it down enough to share.
Ten years ago, back in 2011, Twin Peaks fandom felt like a secret society. The show was just hitting Netflix, inviting a new generation of viewers along with lapsed fans to dive in. The Gold Box DVD had been released a few years prior, and there simply wasn’t much going on aside from a couple…
I love exploring the film location for driving scenes in Twin Peaks. One of the first articles I published on this blog discussed Agent Cooper’s drive into town.

Something’s brewing in Twin Peaks and I had to find it. When I first discovered TwinPeaksBlog.com, I became obsessed with figuring out the central items in a particular image of Lucy Moran at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station. After many cups of coffee and several internet searches, I have identified the automatic coffee brewing system in…
I love a good challenge, especially when it comes to identifying props. I received a note via the “Contact Us” section from a fellow Bookhouse Boy named Robert. He asked about the tape recorder that Pete Martell uses in Episode 2008 when taunting Ben Horne who is locked away in the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department…
Lately I’ve been spending time identifying a variety of props found in Twin Peaks. I love the thrill of the hunt and the endorphin rush when I finally find a match. This effort to identify all of the props has turned into a team sport which is fantastic! After I published an article about a Con-way…
When I set out to identify all Twin Peaks film locations, I really meant ALL :-). No matter how big or small the location, I intend to find it. For Episode 2008, we see Leland Palmer leaving his home with “Maddy Ferguson ” to go golfing. While the majority of the Palmer house exteriors scenes…
