Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve been documenting all historical aspects of my favorite television show and David Lynch movie, no matter how obscure. That’s why I’m thrilled to share this latest gem from late August 1992. If you were in Southern California at the time, you could have raised a glass…
I never tire of watching the opening credits to David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. The slow zoom out from a snow-filled television screen while a sultry jazz trumpet plays Angelo Badalamenti’s music is hypnotic. For years, I’ve wondered what television set was used for this scene. Well, grab your Swanson…
David Lynch did not play the Curious Woman in his 1992 film, Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. She was played by the late Ingrid Brucato, a dog show-enthusiast turned movie extra who lived in the Pacific Northwest. Whew! I am glad that is out of the way. As a Twin Peaks fan in the…
There are so many delightful characters in David Lynch’s 1992 film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, particularly in the first 35 minutes of the film. During a visit to Deer Meadow, Washington, Special Agents Chet Desmond and Sam Stanley get food at Hap’s Diner really early (or really late) in the morning. While at the…
Fellow author Dugpa recently published the definitive look at the premiere of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival.

Almost a year after the season two finale in the United States, folks in France and Japan would get to see David…
The windows of Twede’s Cafe look out onto years of history in the small town of North Bend, Washington. This location served as the interior and exterior location for the Double R Diner in the pilot episode, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and season three. For this article, I’m examining the views as seen in the…
From the moment I first saw Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me in fall 1993, Walter Olkewicz, who played Jacques Renault and later Jean-Michel Renault in Season Three, left a lasting impression on me. I don’t know what it is about that “creepy Jacques,” but Walter played him exceptionally. With word of his passing on April…
By now, you may know that my favorite David Lynch film is Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. My goal for this site is to document everything I can related to that 1992 masterpiece. Recently, I won an eBay auction of some ephemera created for the Japanese market during the film’s release in May that year.
While recently researching images for the Costuming Peaks article about Shelly Johnson’s outfit from Season 1, I became enamored with her robe. It first appears in the Pilot Episode and would be carried over to other scenes in the first two seasons. I wondered just how many robes were seen in Twin Peaks. Good news…
