A prop master’s work isn’t always flashy. Often, they are tasked with making pragmatic choices to flesh out a scene with items that the audience won’t even notice. These are some of the stories I’ve most enjoyed as I’ve gotten to know Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore, whose work in the second season both…
The final free panel discussion for the Real Twin Peaks 2026 was held on Sunday, February 22 at Boxley’s in North Bend, Washington. Twin Peaks Blog author and long-time prop collector Vinnie Guidera spoke with Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore and assistant prop master Stephen Gibson about their work on the show’s second season.
The Jones’ house in Twin Peaks: The Return is filled with lots of little treasures that capture the life of a modern family living in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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.
