Twin Peaks Prop – Pavilion Playing Cards in Season 3
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…

Twin Peaks Prop – Bushnell “Battling Bud” Mullins Poster
I loved seeing the legendary Don Murray play Bushnell Mullins, Dougie Jones’ boss at Lucky 7 Insurance, in Season 3 of Twin Peaks. Thanks to a giant framed poster behind Mullins’ desk at Lucky 7, we get some insight into his character. Now that some time has passed since Season 3 ended (and those Non-Disclosure Agreements…

One of the many knickknacks occupying the shelves of the Hurley house is a souvenir ceramic boot from Bobby McGee’s Conglomeration. Let’s take a look at where this boot appears in Twin Peaks Seasons 1 and 2.
