In anticipation of Emmy Award nominations in July 2018, Showtime ran a series of For Your Consideration (FYC) advertisements featuring media outlet reviews of Twin Peaks: The Return. I previously discussed the IndieWire advertisement with Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan). This ad includes a one word summary from an article in The Washington Post…
Between the expert sleuthing of my Twin Peaks Blog comrade Steven Miller and the detectives before us on sites like InTwinPeaks.com, there are very few filming locations from this body of work that remain uncharted. Some things, though, are simply out of reach to curious fans. But as the Log Lady says, “the stars turn…
During a recent visit to Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington, I learned that Laura Palmer’s log had moved down shore. The culprit was most likely king tides in Puget Sound, which have grown increasingly strong as sea levels rise. While exploring the site, I discovered another location briefly seen in Season 3 is long gone…
Let’s return to the wonderful town of North Bend, Washington to explore a previously discussed film location seen in David Lynch’s 1992 masterpiece, Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me. This time, however, we are going to the opposite side of the Mt. Si Motel from where scenes with Teresa Banks and Leland Palmer were shot….
After all these years of being a Twin Peaks fan, there are certain images stick out in my mind. In particular, I remember many scenes with James Marshall as Laura Palmer’s secret boyfriend, James Hurley. While some have joked about his role, he really does give an emotionally-charged and powerful performance in all three seasons plus Twin…
Kicking of the New Year with a return to the Kiana Lodge in Poulsbo, Washington. This location served as the film location of both the Packard family’s Blue Pine Lodge and The Great Northern Hotel as seen in the Twin Peaks Pilot. Today, I’m focusing on the kitchen which is seen briefly toward the beginning of the…
The first character in Twin Peaks that speaks is Pete Martell. After telling his wife Catherine that he’s going fishing, he exits the Blue Pine Lodge kitchen and walks along a path. The sound of a lonesome foghorn hangs in the air just before Pete spots something unusual. The rest is history. For this article, I…
During my visit to Olallie State Park in mid-September 2019, I visited many Twin Peaks film locations. Most scenes were shot along Weeks Falls trail, a spectacular tree-lined, dirt trail that ends at a beautiful waterfall. At the beginning this trail, you’ll find the iconic location from Season 3 where Agent Cooper meets Laura Palmer following…
In Twin Peaks Part 14 on Showtime, the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department discovers Naido while visiting a spot 253 yards due east of Jack Rabbit’s Palace. This magical portal is seen again in Part 17 when Mr. C visits this location. I covered the film location in Olallie State Park rather extensively in this article….
When I think of memorable scenes from my first viewing of the Twin Peaks pilot episode, I’m reminded of Ronette Pulaski, bruised and battered, stumbling across an old railroad bridge. It’s a haunting image that begs for answers – Who did this? How did she escape?  (luckily, some answers were provided in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me)….
