In episode 2.015 of Twin Peaks, Nadine Butler Hurley crashes through her bedroom door to discover her husband Ed in bed with Norma Jennings. We catch glimpses of artwork on the wall including two paint-by-number artwork originally released in 1957.
Twin Peaks feels like home because of its believable clutter. Rich set decoration makes its spaces feel real and occupied, and the coziness of a place like the Double R Diner is palpable through the screen. To me, the giant ice cream cone displayed behind the counter is a beacon of the diner’s small town…
One of my favorite characters in Twin Peaks is Windom Earle as played by Kenneth Welsh. Known for his many costume changes late in season two, i loved his portrayal of Agent Cooper’s former partner. For this Costuming Peaks article, I’m taking a deep dive into Earle’s many outfits (faux mustache not required).

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.
“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.” – The Log Lady, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Fire plays a critical role in Twin Peaks. Originally, I planned on writing about…
The quest to identify all the Twin Peaks props continues with a look at a lighted picture briefly seen in episode 2.015.
