Just two days after Twin Peaks Day in 2018, I jumped into the blogging world by launching TwinPeaksBlog.com. Today is the third anniversary of what has become a personal journal through my obession with David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking series, Twin Peaks. To commemorate the occasion, I’m reflecting on the past year and launching a new…
One of the more subtle items in Shelly and Leo Johnson’s extensive collection of dog-themed kitsch is a black poodle figure that spends most of Twin Peaks’ first two seasons in their kitchen.
As a companion piece to the film location article about the Tremond house exterior in Twin Peaks Season 2, I’m taking a closer look at the exterior of Harold Smith’s apartment.

One of my favorite set pieces in Twin Peaks’ first season is the ceramic dachshund serving platter displayed above the stove at the Johnson house.
As Sheriff Truman’s crew searches Jacques Renault’s apartment in episode 1.005, Agent Cooper opens a cabinet with a variety of photos, cards and clippings affixed to the inside of the door. I recently identified another prop in Jacques’s collection from this set.
From One-Eyed Jacks to Windom Earle’s doctored cards, playing cards have played an important role in Twin Peaks since the very beginning. It was no surprise to find them in the most recent season on Showtime. While researching the film location for the cheap motel in Buckhorn, I identified the card Mr. C shows Darya and soon…
While researching a recent article related to the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, I identified another book used in Twin Peaks. This one briefly appears twice in episode 2.020 inside Windom Earle’s cabin.
