I’ve previously discussed how the Woolsey Fire of November 2018 destroyed the iconic gazebo from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks. I’m sad to report that another three locations were lost in that devastating fire – the Tremond, Smith and Briggs homes from the original broadcast in the early 1990s. Thankfully Charles from the former…
I love exploring the film location for driving scenes in Twin Peaks. One of the first articles I published on this blog discussed Agent Cooper’s drive into town. There is something about the magic of editing with these scenes that is fun to break down. Today, I’m looking at the scene in Episode 2008 where Leland…
The first character seen on screen in Twin Peaks is Josie Packard, who is sitting at her vanity applying makeup on the morning Laura Palmer’s body was discovered by Pete Martell. The scene is supposed to take place in her bedroom at the Blue Pine Lodge, home of the Martell’s and the widow Mrs. Packard. Thanks to the…
To kick off Twin Peaks month in February 2021, I’m exploring the location of the Palmer house in Monroe, Washington. The home’s exterior was seen in the first two seasons of the show, and looks completely different than the interior and exterior of the Palmer house in Everett, Washington. Thanks to some encouragement from fellow…
Following the passing of Leland Palmer in Episode 2009, the law enforcement team and Major Briggs gather on a rock-lined path to analyze and decompress the emotional event. Thanks to Charles and Travis from the former InTwinPeaks.com website, we know the location where this scene was shot in southern California. Using the original post from…
One film location I couldn’t wait to visit upon my return to Snoqualmie Valley last fall was the Mt. Si Motel. This location served as the spot of the Red Diamond City Motel in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It also served as The Dutchman’s in Twin Peaks Part 15 from Season 3 on Showtime….
Did you know that on Jupiter and Saturn will be conjunct on December 21, 2020? According to Twin Peaks, this is the time that a doorway to the Black Lodge will be open (cue Windom Earle’s singing). With that said, I figured the best way to start the New Year is by examining the film location…
I recently shared details about the film location where Teresa Banks’ body floats along Wind River from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. That scene is one of three filmed along the bank of South Fork Snoqualmie River in Olallie State Park located just outside of North Bend, Washington. The second scene in the “Snoqualmie River…
One of the first scenes in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me shows a body wrapped in plastic floating down a river. We quickly learn that it’s Teresa Banks in Wind River, the first victim of killer Bob. The film location for this scene is found at Olallie State Park just outside of North Bend, Washington….
When I think of memorable scenes from my first viewing of the Twin Peaks pilot episode, I’m reminded of Ronette Pulaski, bruised and battered, stumbling across an old railroad bridge. It’s a haunting image that begs for answers – Who did this? How did she escape? (luckily, some answers were provided in Twin Peaks: Fire…
