A little over a month after Mark Frost and David Lynch’s wonderful and strange show debuted on the ABC Television network in 1990, People Weekly magazine offered what they described as a “complete guide to Twin Peaks” in their May 14 issue. This guide contained several stories about the show’s first season, including a two-page…
The stars have turned and a time has presented itself at the North Bend Theatre in North Bend, Washington. With the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event a little over a month away, the theater recently installed its first two stars for its Walk of Fame – the handprints of Twin Peaks stars Kyle MacLachlan and Sheryl…
My heart has been heavy these past few days watching the aftermath of devastating fires in Southern California. There are many ways to help those in need, such as donating to organizations like the American Red Cross or chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen. Tonight, I learned Twin Peaks actor Carel Struycken and his wife…
I’d like to think the official beer of Twin Peaks is Rainier Beer. At the time the first two seasons and David Lynch’s feature film were made, the taps were still flowing at the Washington state brewery. Today, the Rainier brand is owned and operated by Pabst Brewing Company and the beer is produced in California….
The first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is some kind of wonderful fever dream. From Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland’s performances to the strangeness of Deer Meadow, I return time and time again to these scenes. After identifying the Shyvers Multiphone in Hap’s Diner and Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Instrument”…
As I look back on my decades-long fascination with Twin Peaks, there are times I wish I paid more attention and took more photographs. My opening night visit to the 20th Anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me exhibition at Copro Gallery in Southern California is one of those times. More than a decade after…
I’m still in a state of shock writing this article as one of my “Holy Grails” of Twin Peaks props is now identified thanks to help from fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood. For years, I’ve searched for Special Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman instrument” machine seen in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I…
Hap’s Diner in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me may not have offered specials but they did have an early version of a streaming music service. Instead of a jukebox like the one found near the entrance to the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, there was a silver Art Deco machine behind the…
Following an afternoon of New Year’s Day travel back to my home in Florida, I received a direct message from fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood about a prop he identified from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Matthew’s previous tip about the identity of the actor who played the dead guy in Carrie…
To kick off 2025, I’m returning to the continuing series featuring Twin Peaks art titled “Art Peaks.” For this story, I’m shining a light on a stunning piece by California-based illustrator Owen Smith. The artwork was created for the Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me 20th Anniversary Exhibit for Copro Gallery held in spring 2012.
