With Daylight Saving Time beginning in the United States today, I’ve spent most of the day checking my watch. This got me thinking about the number of times characters from Twin Peaks checked their watches. Like Agent Sam Stanley said, “It’s really early.” Or is it really late?
One thing I remember from my original viewing of Twin Peaks in the early 1990s was the unexpected long shots of things like trees, traffic lights, and the ceiling fan at the Palmer house. Prior to Twin Peaks, I hadn’t seen these kinds of shots in a television show. These lingering images added a sense of…
The Vacant Peaks series explores places and scenes in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks without people.

The Red Room in Twin Peaks has fascinated since I first watched the series in October 1993.

August 11, 2007 was an exciting day in my personal experience with Twin Peaks as it was the first time I ever visited a film location in California. Eleven years earlier, I had visited film locations in Washington state during the 1996 Twin Peaks Fan Festival. My first spot was Malibou Lake Mountain Club in Agoura Hills,…
The gazebo at Easter Park in Twin Peaks serves as the backdrop for several key scenes in seasons 1 and 2 in Twin Peaks. According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” the gazebo is located in Upper Twin Park at the corner of Falls Avenue and Cedar Street, which is nowhere near a lake as seen…
According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” the gazebo is located in Upper Twin Park at the corner of Falls Avenue and Cedar Street. In reality, the gazebo was located by Malibou Lake on the grounds of Malibou Lake Mountain Club. Unfortunately, the devastating Woosley Fire (named after Woosley Canyon Road) that began on…
