As I decompress from a fantastic trip to Snoqualmie Valley, I return to the publicity photos from Spelling Films International for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This time, it’s two similar photos showing Laura Palmer standing at the doorway to her bedroom, including one shot we don’t see in the theatrical release.
For years, I’ve scoured online auctions looking for unique ephemera from my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

I would have loved to be in North Bend, Washington on February 21, 1989. This was the first day of filming for what became Mark Frost and David Lynch’s pilot to Twin Peaks. Scenes that day were captured at the Mar-T Cafe which was the Double R Diner in the show. Today, it’s known as Twede’s…

The stories shared are more fresh and contain interesting nuggets and details. This time, I found Noel Holston’s spotlight on former Twin Cities resident Chris Mulkey who played Hank Jennings…

The great Harry Dean Stanton would have celebrated his 100th birthday on July 14, 2026. Since I first saw him in Ridley Scott’s Alien, I’ve loved him in every film he’s ever done.
