A prop master’s work isn’t always flashy. Often, they are tasked with making pragmatic choices to flesh out a scene with items that the audience won’t even notice. These are some of the stories I’ve most enjoyed as I’ve gotten to know Twin Peaks prop master Jeff Moore, whose work in the second season both…
The Jones’ house in Twin Peaks: The Return is filled with lots of little treasures that capture the life of a modern family living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Sonny Jim attends school just like every other child his age. Naturally, he had accessories like a lunch bag to accompany him during the school day. In Twin…
In Twin Peaks’ third season, Sonny Jim Jones has an affinity for the wild west. From the wallpaper to the curtains to the toys beside his bed, desert plains make up the aesthetic of his bedroom. As the 2017 Showtime revival tended to be a bit more sparsely decorated than the original series, I loved…
From the moment Naido (Nae Yuuki) first appeared on screen in Part 3 from Twin Peaks: The Return, I knew David Lynch and Mark Frost’s third season would be something special. Shrouded in mystery, the first exchange between Special Agent Dale Cooper and her left me speechless. I had never seen anything like it on…
I love finding things from Japan about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. For more than three decades, the Japanese have maintained a fascination with this wonderful and strange show.

In the quest to identify all props and set decor from Twin Peaks, I sometimes get lucky with finding an item very quickly. This happened with western-themed artwork hanging above Detective D. Fusco’s desk at the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department headquarters in Twin Peaks: The Return.
One of the more iconic images from Twin Peaks: The Return is seen behind Gordon Cole’s desk at FBI Headquarters in Philadelphia, PA. The massive framed photo of a nuclear explosion recently sold for $45,500 at an auction of David Lynch’s personal items presented by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies. While it was way out…
Julee Cruise returned to The Roadhouse when Part 17 of Twin Peaks: The Return aired on Sept. 3, 2017. She was part of a revolving jukebox of musicians who performed in the small town bar. Her performance of “The World Spins” would be the final time she appeared on screen for the wonderful and strange show….
I love when the real world of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington intersects with the wonderful and strange world of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. In Twin Peaks: The Return, there are several hand-painted murals seen across the street from the Double R Diner (known as Twede’s Cafe in North Bend). Local Artist Richard “Dick” Burhans created…
