There is a playful exchange with Mike Nelson and Bobby Briggs as Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward pass by Bobby’s car in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The brief scene has additional footage included in The Missing Pieces. The entire exchange takes place just down the street from where the Hayward House was shot…
This is the second part of the Vacant Peaks series about Leo and Shelly Johnson’s house. This recurring series captures glimpses of buildings, sets, props or details without people. In the first part, I focused on the Pilot Episode and Season 1 of Twin Peaks. For this article, I’m looking at Season 2 and one brief scene…
To paraphrase a line from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, “This is where Leo and Shelly live!” I’m taking a look at the exterior scenes of The Johnson House in this Setting the Stage story. Two different exterior locations were used for the home – one in Washington state and the other in southern California.
There were two exterior locations used for the home of Leo and Shelly Johnson. The first home exterior seen the Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was located in Washington State.
I recently shared a comprehensive look at all of the exterior shots of the Palmer House in Twin Peaks. Two homes in Washington State were used in the series – one located in Monroe and one in Everett. I had the opportunity to visit the latter home following the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Fest.

Part 3 explored the emptiness found in Episodes…
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…
The Fat Trout Trailer Park, home to Carl Rodd, Teresa Banks and Deputy Cliff, first appeared in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This location contains my favorite 2-minute scene in all of Twin Peaks. I first visited the trailer park in 1996 during and impromptu stop on the Twin Peaks Fan Fest bus tour. But where…
