On this Sunday afternoon, I am sad to report on the loss of another Twin Peaks actor who had a brief role two episodes from season two. Clarence Williams III, who played Special Agent Roger Hardy, passed due to colon cancer on June 4 at the age of 81. Here is my Love Letter to a…
During my last viewing of Twin Peaks, I was really curious about what brand of cigarettes were being smoked by Donna Hayward as she chatted with Maddy Ferguson in the Double R Diner. Here’s a look at how I identified this prop and made replicas for my ever-growing prop collection.
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 say “THOSE” Season 2 episodes of Twin Peaks, you know immediately what I’m referencing. Once Episode 2009 effectively closed the Laura Palmer story, the writers focused on other happenings (and mysteries) in this small Pacific Northwest town. Episodes 2010-2015 included a number of storylines – Ben Horne’s mental struggle, Dick Tremayne’s attempts at fatherhood,…
By far, one of the best dressed characters in Twin Peaks is Richard “Dick” Tremayne, who is played by Scottish actor Ian Buchanan. Tremayne appears in eleven episodes throughout Season 2, beginning with Episode 2.003 and ending with Episode 2.021. Ian celebrates his birthday on June 16, so I thought today is a perfect time…

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 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…
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…
Vacant Peaks explores places and scenes in Twin Peaks without people. In this second article of the multi-part series exploring the Palmer house, I examine the rest of Season 2. The majority of this article features Episode 2007, with a handful of images from Episodes 2008, 2009, and 2010.
