Portland is a city that loves Twin Peaks. In 2025 alone, the World Forestry Center hosted an exhibit featuring the Log Lady’s screen-used log, the Oregon Symphony performed Angelo Badalamenti’s iconic score, and the Portland Street Art Alliances Community Art Program unveiled a stunning mural in honor of David Lynch. But there is a hidden…
The death of David Lynch did not go unnoticed here in the UK. Since March, two national cinema chains, Everyman and Picturehouse, have embarked on year long retrospectives of his theatrical work, re-releasing one film a month each in order. Picturehouse are even pairing each one with another film that could be said to have…
During the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington, a special panel discussion was held about Twin Peaks fashion. I was unable to attend this panel as I was hosting one of two film location tours. Thankfully, event co-organizer and fellow Twin Peaks Blog author Mary Hütter captured video from Lauren Lowell and Laura…
David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was screening for one-night only during the 42nd Melbourne International Film Festival on June 13, 1993.

As a child, I loved going to the local Drive-In Movie Theater in Columbus, Ohio. I saw so many films from the comfortable of my parent’s vehicle while hearing the film’s audio broadcast from a bulky metal speaker attached to the car’s window.

One challenge with historic research from before the digital age is finding photos. Today, everyone is photographer, capturing every detail of daily life via mobile phones. But in November 1990, these digital devices were only the dream of tomorrow. When Julee Cruise first played at Symphony Space in her home town of New York City…
The North Bend Theatre was near capacity and fans were patiently waiting for Julee Cruise to take the stage during the 2016 Twin Peaks Festival, a former yearly celebration of Twin Peaks in and around North Bend, Washington held between 1993-2018. But something was amiss. Julee Cruise was scheduled to perform at 8:30 p.m. between…
The summer of 2002 is etched in my memory as one of those rare moments in life that felt almost unreal in its perfection. It’s been 23 years, and I still look back on that weekend in August as one of the greatest of my life. I was a volunteer at the Twin Peaks Festival…
Following the success of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, Julee Cruise went on tour performing songs from her 1989 album, “Floating Into The Night” in late 1990. On February 17, 1991, she held a one-night-only show at the famed London Palladium. While I’ve been unable to locate any photos from this show, I…
On June 18 this year, Julien’s Auction and Turner Classic Movies are holding an auction of The David Lynch Collection, which will feature personal artifacts and film-related items from his home that reflect his singular artistic vision.
