This is one of those situations where I wish I had a time machine to transport me back to March 23, 1991. I would attend an auction held for St. John’s Prep School in Collegeville, Minnesota which had several Twin Peaks items donated by 1967 graduate Bob Engles. Recently, I found one of those items…
Between the frequent use of diegetic music and the art department’s consistent aesthetic choices, Twin Peaks is a vintage radio aficionado’s dream. One piece that appears onscreen with some regularity is the Zenith X316 table radio at Shelly and Leo Johnson’s house.
The quest to identify all the props from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show Twin Peaks continues with a unique offering originally posted by Executive Producer Sabrina Sutherland. She through out a challenge to identify a whisky bottle from the archive. As it turns out, the breakaway glass bottle prop appears in my…
While updating the location article about the Mitchum Brothers home, I saw a brief scene of a digital clock sitting on a shelf during Part 11. It’s one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” props but it called to me as I could clearly see a manufacturer’s name – Bruno.
I adore mid-century modern design which is probably why I’m in love with Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

This is one of those “blink and you’ll miss” it items from Twin Peaks – The Return. As Becky Burnett runs up a staircase, she passes a Robert Wood painting in Gersten’s apartment building. The cool part about this framed wall decor is I found it still hanging in the stairwell when I visited in January…
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve dreamed of identifying every prop used in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s wonderful and strange show. This article pushes that idea to the limit as I discuss a barely seen prop from Twin Peaks – Part 1 from The Return – Marjorie Green’s framed photo by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
One of the final official events for Real Twin Peaks 2024 was the Twin Tilts Pinball Tournament at Volition Brewing Co. in North Bend, Washington. This location served as Nadine Butler Hurley’s Run Silent, Run Drapes shop in Twin Peaks The Return before it was converted into an outstanding local brewery. The cool part about…
As frequent Twin Peaks Blog readers have surely surmised, my approach toward identifying props and set decorations is to leave no stone unturned. I may never run out of things to write about, because the Hurley house has A LOT of stones.
