The third annual Real Twin Peaks event is just around the corner and fans from all over are preparing to celebrate the show where it all began in the scenic Snoqualmie Valley. One tradition I look forward to continuing is our yearly prop panel where fellow Twin Peaks Blog author Steven Miller and I will…
I recently discussed how the Twin Peaks crew used Eat at Rudy’s which was Eat at Judy’s in Part 18 to capture scenes used in Part 2 at the cheap Buckhorn Motel. This wasn’t the first time where one location doubled as two different sets. In episode 2.013, there is a brief scene with Major Briggs…
In Twin Peaks episode 2.018 (#25 from the second season), Audrey Horne visits the Twin Peaks City Library to research civil disobedience. While there, she meets Windom Earle who is disguised as a poetry professor named Edward Perkins. While reviewing this short exchange, I identified several books found on the “Political Science” shelf in the town’s…

February 26, 2024 marks the sixth anniversary of Twin Peaks Blog. I’m wrapping up an amazing few days in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington celebrating with fans from all over the world in the Real Twin Peaks. While I had planned on staying an extra day in the area for visiting film locations, I was delightfully surprised…
In a few short days, fans from near and far will gather in the Snoqualmie Valley for the second annual Real Twin Peaks event. One of the things I’m most looking forward to in this jam-packed weekend is joining my fellow Twin Peaks Blog authors Steven Miller and Jason Mattson on a panel with season…
