Once the three screenings of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me with Sheryl Lee at the North Bend Theatre ended, I skipped over to Bainbridge Island to visit Kiana Lodge. You may recall this historic spot on Bainbridge Island served as a film location during the Pilot episode. When I visited in February…
Despite having visited a number of Twin Peaks locations, there are certain spots that I will never visit unless a time machine is created. One of those spots is from the Pilot episode where Bobby Briggs is questioned by Sheriff Truman and Deputies Hawk and Brennan in the Twin Peaks High School library. This location no…
While researching stories for Twin Peaks Blog, one thing that has continually surprised me is the number of times the Twin Peaks pilot was shown before debuting on the ABC Television Network in April 1990.

Twin Peaks feels like home because of its believable clutter. Rich set decoration makes its spaces feel real and occupied, and the coziness of a place like the Double R Diner is palpable through the screen. To me, the giant ice cream cone displayed behind the counter is a beacon of the diner’s small town…
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed exploring the origins of Twin Peaks lore by providing well-researched and fact-based articles. In May 2021, Dugpa and I dug into the history of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me at the Cannes Film Festival, helping clarify long-held misconceptions about the film’s initial reception. Channeling that same…
I recently paid tribute to Lori Eschler Fystak as an unsung hero of the Twin Peaks soundtrack. Thanks to an unexpected advertisement I found while researching early news reports about the show, I’m turning the spotlight on David Boushey.
