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…
Despite having visited a number of Twin Peaks locations, there are certain spots that I will never visit unless a time machine is created. One of those spots is from the Pilot episode where Bobby Briggs is questioned by Sheriff Truman and Deputies Hawk and Brennan in the Twin Peaks High School library. This location no…
It isn’t until the second season of Twin Peaks that we step into Sheriff Truman’s office. There, a whole new world of props and decorations are introduced. One such item is a paperweight distributed by Rosenthal-Netter, Inc. which features a brass owl on a marble base. Here’s a closer look at the latest prop I’ve…
When I say “THOSE” Season 2 episodes of Twin Peaks, you know immediately what I’m referencing. Once episode 2.009 effectively closed the Laura Palmer story, the writers focused on other happenings (and mysteries) in this small Pacific Northwest town. Episodes 2.010-2.015 included a number of storylines – Ben Horne’s mental struggle, Dick Tremayne’s attempts at…
To celebrate the 400th article on TwinPeaksBlog.com, I’m launching “Costuming Peaks,” a new recurring series that examines costumes worn by a variety of characters in Twin Peaks. We begin this journey with a look at Audrey Horne (played by the incomparable Sherilyn Fenn) in the Pilot episode.
It’s no surprise that I adore David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. The Pilot episode aired as an ABC Sunday Night Movie on April 8, 1990. For this year’s milestone 30th Anniversary, I’m sharing 30 things I love about this perfect Pilot episode. It’s by far one of the best television pilots ever to…
“I’m a jack and you’re a jack. Steeplejacks are we. And when we climb up to the top, the cry is ‘Victory!’” With recent news of the impending demolition of Mt. Si High School, I’m taking a look at the locations used in Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me as the Twin Peaks High School.
In episode 2.010, Nadine Butler Hurley tries out for cheerleading at the Twin Peaks High School field. This spot is the fifth location used for Twin Peaks High School scenes. It’s located down the way from Franklin Canyon Park, home to Glastonberry Grove and Walking After Maddy’s Death just to name a few.
While researching Twin Peaks High School, I’ve discovered there were five film locations used in the series. The schools in Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me were filmed in Washington state. Van Nuys High School served as the backdrop for Episodes 2010-2012 in season 2. This brings me to the bathroom scenes…
In season two of Twin Peaks, there are three episodes – 2.010, 2.011, and 2.012 – with scenes inside Twin Peaks High School. Unlike the high schools seen in the Pilot episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, which were shot in Washington state, this location is found in Van Nuys, California. It was the…
