I’ve been on a kick lately identifying several iconic set decorations from Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I love finding these background art pieces after seeing them during multiple rewatches for more than three decades. Today, I’m returning to the Hayward house where a beautiful illustration of roses by Pierre-Josephe Redouté created in 1821.
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…
Throughout Twin Peaks’ second season, a coffee cup with a blue eagle design appears in various places around the Double R Diner. This was produced by New York-based Syracuse China, who you may remember from a previous article as the maker of the airbrushed dinnerware used at the Blue Pine Lodge.
Steven and I have spent plenty of time tracking the unique kitchenware used in Twin Peaks, like the airbrushed Syracuse china from the Blue Pine Lodge and the vintage Fire-King mugs at the Sheriff station. However, an unassuming white mug that appears in the Great Northern’s dining hall might be one of the show’s most…
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?
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).
While my fellow author Jason Mattson was writing about Windom Earle’s playing cards, I took a closer look a the Miss Twin Peaks Contest flyer seen late in season two of Twin Peaks. As it turns out there are at least three variations of this flyer which I’ll explore in this All in the Details article.
One aspect of Twin Peaks that I’ve greatly enjoyed over the years of being a fan is how well mystery is mixed with some comedic relief. A true joy was seeing David Lander, famously known for playing Squiggy on Laverne & Shirley, return to the ABC Television network in Season 2 of David Lynch and…
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.
In Twin Peaks Episode 2017, John Justice Wheeler and Audrey Horne have a picnic by a lake. This scene, like many others from Season 2, was shot in Franklin Canyon Park located just outside of Beverly Hills, California. So cue Mr. Wheeler’s cowboy song and let’s explore.
