Between the frequent use of diegetic music and the art department’s consistent aesthetic choices, Twin Peaks is a vintage radio aficionado’s dream. One piece that appears onscreen with some regularity is the Zenith X316 table radio at Shelly and Leo Johnson’s house.
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…
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.

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,…
Continuing my look at the costumes worn by actors in Twin Peaks, this Costuming Peaks article focuses on Audrey Horne (played by Sherilyn Fenn). Audrey’s outfits, much like her character, matures throughout Season 2.
