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…
The Vacant Peaks series explores places and scenes in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks without people. In this second article of a multi-part series exploring the Palmer house, I examine the second season episodes including 2.001, 2.003, 2.007, 2.008, 2.009, and 2.010. After episode 2.010, the Palmer homestead is not shown again until…
In Episode 1.002 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.”
The majestic White Tail Falls in Twin Peaks is first introduced to viewers during the opening credits of the Pilot episode. In reality, the falls are known as Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. This Setting the Stage story takes a look at the falls as seen throughout the three seasons of Twin Peaks.
In episode 2.010, Nadine Butler Hurley tries out for cheerleading at the Twin Peaks High School field. This spot is the fifth location used for Twin Peaks High School scenes. It’s located down the way from Franklin Canyon Park, home to Glastonberry Grove and Walking After Maddy’s Death just to name a few.
In season two of Twin Peaks, there are three episodes – 2.010, 2.011, and 2.012 – with scenes inside Twin Peaks High School. Unlike the high schools seen in the Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which were shot in Washington state, this location is found in Van Nuys, California. It was the…
With fall on the horizon, it’s almost time to return back to school. This Vacant Peaks article takes a look at Twin Peaks High School absent of students, faculty and people.
In a previous article, I discussed the location of Leland and Laura Palmer’s scene in front of Mo’s Motor from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The service center is located next to an intersection that serves as the backdrop to two important scenes from David Lynch’s feature film motion picture and Twin Peaks Part 6….
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Mo’s Motor is a service station that Leland and Laura Palmer visit after being accosted “out of the blue” by Mike, the One Armed Man. The former building was located in Snoqualmie, Washington and made a brief appearance in Twin Peaks season two.
