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.
For the past several years on Twitter, I’ve seen the iconic image of Special Agent Dale Cooper giving a thumbs-up at The Roadhouse every hour on my timeline. I’ve long wondered what painting is behind him in this shot from Episode 2009 in Season 2. Today, I have the answer.
In Episode 2021, Agent Cooper hypothesizes that “if the door to the Black Lodge does exist, it probably exists at a point in time.” Symbols from the Owl Cave petroglyph and a pocket book on planets lead him to conclude that the gateway opens when Jupiter and Saturn meet.

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…
One of the many knickknacks occupying the shelves of the Hurley house is a souvenir ceramic boot from Bobby McGee’s Conglomeration. Let’s take a look at where this boot appears in Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2.
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.
If there is one thing Twin Peaks is famous for it’s the use of strobe lights. The earliest use was found in the ending to the International Pilot. That footage from the Red Room was later recycled for Episode 1002. Strobes were also used in Episode 2021 after Windom Earle wreaks havoc at the Miss Twin…
After escaping Windom Earle, Major Briggs is found wandering out of the woods by Deputy Hawk in Episode 2021. Like many scenes from Season 2 (Glastonberry Grove, Audrey and Jack’s picnic, etc.), this brief interaction was shot at Franklin Canyon Park in Los Angeles, California. I visited this location on July 13, 2010 and here…
One of my favorite storylines and sets from Twin Peaks Season 2 – Windom Earle’s cabin – gets the Vacant Peaks treatment in this article. The cabin appears in Episodes 2014 through 2021. Here is a look at scenes from the cabin minus former Agent Earle, Leo Johnson, Major Briggs, and the Heavy Metal Youth. Apologies in…
