Twin Peaks Day 2020 commemorates the day Laura Palmer’s body was found on a rocky beach by Blue Pine Lodge in 1989. It’s also a good day to revisit the episode that started it all – the Twin Peaks Pilot which aired on April 8, 1990. For this Then & Now article, I return to Laura’s house…
Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington holds a special place in my heart as it was the first Twin Peaks film location I visited in August 1996. For an upcoming article in Blue Rose Magazine – Issue #13 about film locations 30 years later, I revisited this timeless place on January 22-23, 2020. While that Blue Rose Magazine…
Tuesday, February 21, 1989 is a special day in Twin Peaks history. It’s the first day of shooting for what would become the Pilot Episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s beloved series. Thanks to Brother Jer from Twin Peaks Archive, we have an idea of what scenes were shot on that first day in North…
After Becky Burnett delivers bread to Toad at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks – Part 5 on Showtime, she meets up with her husband Steven where they share a moment behind the Double R Diner. This scene was filmed along the side and rear parking lot at Twede’s Cafe in Washington state on September…
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog, I’ve discussed and explored some pretty obscure things from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. From identifying props to cataloging specials at the Double R Diner, I love these journeys down (bunny) rabbit holes. During my recent visit to Washington state in January, I discovered another small piece of Twin Peaks…
One of the more iconic locations within Twin Peaks is The Roadhouse. Playing host to musical performances, courtrooms and pageants, this spot is where the townspeople gather to unwind. This Setting the Stage article explores the The Roadhouse exterior from all three seasons and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.
Greetings from 40,000-feet! I’m currently en route to Washington state for another Twin Peaks film location adventure. As I’m preparing for the next few days, I thought about some of the current “white whales” that I’m seeking in the Pacific Northwest.
The Briggs House is one of those locations I wish we saw more in Twin Peaks. It appears in less than a handful of episodes and is part of the extended or deleted scenes from Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. With that said, I thought it was time for another (albeit short) Vacant Peaks article…
Following my recent return trip to Washington state, I made a goal for myself to locate and visit every Twin Peaks film location that exists. There is a lot of ground to cover, specially with three seasons, a full-length film and several official-but-not-necessarily-canon books. It is my dream and I will do it (kind of like…
If I had a nickel for every time I’ve watched Twin Peaks, I’d be dead. As part of my More Missing Pieces series, I’m taking a closer look at scenes from the Twin Peaks Blu-ray set released in 2014. On that set, you’ll find short videos edited around a singular theme (e.g. “the Woods,” “Coffee,”…
