During a recent visit to Southern California, I crossed off another Twin Peaks location from my list thanks to an anonymous tip from a fellow Bookhouse Boy. A few months ago, I wrote about the scene with Donna Hayward visiting her mom at The Great Northern Hotel in the James Foley-directed episode 2.018 (#25). I mentioned…
In Twin Peaks episode 2.018 (episode 25 from the second season), there is a brief scene of Donna Hayward following her mother Eileen Hayward as she visits The Great Northern Hotel. With the exception of an establishing shot, the scene was captured at the former City Studios (later renamed Occidental Studios) in Van Nuys, California.

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.
I’ve had fun making several Twin Peaks prop replicas in my time. One project that I completed recently is Windom Earle’s Queens and King playing cards. Luckily , the deck was easy to identify.
One of the more mysterious and iconic symbols from Twin Peaks is first seen in episode 2.018 from Season 2. Agent Dale Cooper and the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department descend into a cool subterranean cave known as Owl Cave. After a series of events that causes Deputy Andy Brennan to strike the cave wall, the Owl…
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.
