In honor of the second anniversary of the premiere of Twin Peaks on Showtime, I’m giving Ruth Davenport’s apartment the Vacant Peaks treatment. This Buckhorn, South Dakota location was only seen in Part 1 which makes this article a short one (there weren’t many shots without people). In reality, her apartment was shot at a…
In a recent Vacant Peaks article, I explored The Red Room from Season 2 and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. While the series only visited this location a handful of times in seasons 1 and 2, things were much different in season 3 on Showtime. In addition to being featured in the opening credits for each…
Season 3 of Twin Peaks on Showtime opens with Sam Colby watching a mysterious glass box in New York City. This Vacant Peaks article takes a look at this location sans people in Parts 1, 2, 3 and 10. Interesting side notes – the image above is recycled at least six or seven times throughout the…
The majestic White Tail Falls in Twin Peaks is first introduced to viewers during the opening credits of the Pilot Episode. In reality, the falls are known as Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. This Setting the Stage story takes a look at the falls as seen throughout the three seasons of Twin Peaks.

I recently identified the film location for the Fireman’s house in Twin Peaks on Showtime. This set was seen in Parts 1, 8, 14, and 17 of Season 3. Interiors were shot at the Tower Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and the house exterior were created by the visual effects team BUF. While researching these…
One of the most incredible sets in Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime is The Fireman’s House. This location appears in four episodes of The Return including Parts 1, 8, 14 and 17. Always shown in black and white, the actual location used was the former Tower Theatre in downtown Los Angeles, California.
When Twin Peaks returned in 2017 to Showtime, the opening credits were updated with new footage from the Washington state area. One of the first images seen is tree covered mountains bathed in mist. As it turns out, this location is very familiar to fans – it’s part of the historic Snoqualmie Falls.
In honor of Father’s Day, here’s my love letter to the many ties Ben Horne wears in Twin Peaks, from the Pilot episode through Part 17 of Season 3 on Showtime.
