I recently shared a publicity photo of Wendy Robie who played Nadine Hurley which was taken on the set of the Palmer house. Thanks to that image, I located the specific brand of COTTON BALLS she used to make her completely silent drape runners.
Not every prop used in Twin Peaks steals the scene, but each one has a story. When I acquired a small collection of production-used items from prop master Jeff Moore a few years ago, some of them were a mystery even to him. This innocuous little envelope was one of those mysteries.
Modern technology has helped me identify props used in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks for years. I can’t imagine finding things as easily in the early 1990s when all I had were VHS cassettes and no access to the internet. Despite the technical marvels of today, I still rely on what’s available online…
As a great admirer of Twin Peaks’ rich set decoration, I have a special fondness for the promotional photos in which the cast is posed on set. These shots sometimes uncover background details that aren’t visible in the show itself.
As part of this year’s “Peaksmas,” Dugpa and I are diving into stories about Twin Peaks in Japan. One of the more notable creations from the “Land of the Rising Sun” is the 1993 Georgia Coffee commercials with characters from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Dugpa covered the numerous coffee can…
In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
During the first two seasons of Twin Peaks, a stone sundial is seen outside the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department. This monument paid tribute to an early resident of Snoqualmie Valley who was a beloved and respected mill manager.
I’m returning to something I love while researching Twin Peaks – identifying artwork used on the various sets created for the show. This time, I’m visiting the room at One-Eyed Jacks in episode #2.002 (#9) where Audrey Horne confronts Emory Battis. In the background, you’ll spot artwork by German-born artist Max Gundlach.
I love finding when items in Twin Peaks magically jump from location to location or character to character. We saw this with the CCX Trucking mug that traveled from Big Ed’s Gas Farm in the pilot to the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department or Annie Blackburn wears a sweater that Donna Hayward wore. In season two, a black…
Books are some of my favorite things to identify in Twin Peaks as they are a bridge between the real world and the fictional wonderful and strange world. In Part 6 of Twin Peaks: The Return, Sonny Jim Jones is seen reading a book in bed when his dad Dougie Jones returns home from Lucky 7…
