In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley visit Hap’s Diner for dinner following their early morning examination of Teresa Banks’ body at the Deer Meadow Sheriff’s Department. Since I adore the first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, this location is one of my favorite spots. While its…
It’s time to return to the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department for the final article in a three part series. In the first two Setting the Stage articles, I examined the Department’s exteriors as seen in Season 1 and Season 2 of Twin Peaks. Today, I’m focusing on the exterior shots seen in Season 3 on Showtime.
Have you ever looked at something for so long but couldn’t quite recall where you have seen it before? This happened to me while identifying the film location for Miriam Sullivan’s trailer in Twin Peaks Part 10 on Showtime. It wasn’t until the next morning after publishing that I realized what I found.

In this Setting the Stage article, I’m taking a look at the exterior shots of the Double R Diner from Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and Twin Peaks: The Return (Season 3) on Showtime. The Double R Diner was a key location used throughout the series, so this article is rather lengthy….
Twin Peaks Part 8 on Showtime opens with Ray Monroe and Mr. C driving. after leaving Yankton Federal Prison. Unlike the 1989 comedy-drama that inspired the title of this article, Ray and Mr. C are on their way to the Farm. I stumbled onto the location where this scene was filmed by accident. I had…
The “Setting the Stage” series continues with a look at Josie Packard’s bedroom inside the Blue Pine Lodge. The scene with Josie quietly humming is one of the first scenes in the Pilot Episode of Twin Peaks. Her bedroom, however, was not often seen during seasons 1 and 2.
