Looking back at Twin Peaks: The Return, I’m incredibly impressed with how the cast and crew put everything together. They weren’t shooting a television series – the production schedule was like an 18-hour film. The production timeline was aggressive with sometimes having only a day to capture footage in one location before packing up and…
Since launching Twin Peaks Blog in February 2018, I’ve enjoyed offering a place for like-minded Bookhouse Boys and Gals to share their discoveries. Matt Haywood (@TwinPeaksSounds) is one of those individuals whom I’ve connected via social media. He loves decoding David Lynch and Mark Frost’s mysteries as much as I do. He recently solved one…
In Twin Peaks Parts 17 and 18, Agent Cooper loses Laura Palmer as he is escorting her home during a nighttime trek in the woods. Through the magic of editing and a few camera tricks, their walk looks longer than it actually is. The scene is shot near the location of two previous scenes from Part…
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…
If there was a cousin to Ronette Pulaski’s bridge, it would most likely be the Meadowbrook Bridge that’s seen in both the Pilot Episode and Part 18 on Showtime. This historic bridge is located just down the street from Ronette’s, and has the distinction of being seen in the first and the last episode of Twin…
After a 25 year hiatus, we return to the Palmer House in Twin Peaks – Season 3 on Showtime. The crew returned to the original home used both in the Pilot Episode and David Lynch’s 1992 film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The establishing shots of the Palmer house in Seasons 1 and 2 were of…
To kick off a new decade, I’ve been discussing the film location for Glastonbury Grove in Twin Peaks. This is one of the few film locations used for every iteration of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show that is not a set. Here is a summary of all seven articles that explores scenes…
The journey through the Twin Peaks film locations for Glastonbury Grove comes to an end with a look at Part 18 from Season 3. Once again, the crew returned to Franklin Canyon Park outside Beverly Hills, California for this episode.
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, we travel with Bobby Briggs and the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department to Jack Rabbit’s Palace. This spot in the woods outside Twin Peaks was named by Bobby as a child during visits with his father Major Briggs. This film location is found along Weeks Falls Trail in Olallie…
