Having been too young to appreciate the cultural phenomenon of Twin Peaks in the early 90s, I have a great fondness for the ephemera that made for an immersive experience during the show’s initial run. Collecting vintage print ads, tie-in products, and fan magazines paints a picture of what the community felt at the peak…
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.
In Twin Peaks episode 2.018 (episode 25 from the second season), there is a brief scene of Donna Hayward following her mother Eileen Hayward as she visits The Great Northern Hotel. With the exception of an establishing shot, the scene was captured at the former City Studios (later renamed Occidental Studios) in Van Nuys, California.
There was much excitement in the air when Twin Peaks was first broadcast on the ABC Television Network in spring 1990. Despite the buzz, not every household had tuned into David Lynch and Mark Frost’s groundbreaking show, especially since it aired at the same time as NBC’s incredibly popular Cheers. As May began with the last half of…
The year 1990 was a banner year for director and artist David Lynch. In April, his show with Mark Frost, Twin Peaks, debuted on the ABC Television Network. In May, his film Wild at Heart won the Palme d’Or at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. On Oct. 1, Lynch graced the cover of Time Magazine. Here is a…
Following the news that Charlotte Stewart will be joining the Twin Peaks Conversation with the Stars on Friday, Oct. 17, 2025 at the Uptown Theatre in Napa, California, I revisited her memorable scene as Betty Briggs in Part 9 from Twin Peaks: The Return. On a whim, I decided to search for the brown and beige…
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…
This year, Fright Rags, the leader in officially licensed horror apparel and accessories, re-released popular designs inspired by Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks for the show’s 35th anniversary. At the time, I noticed one item was missing from this year’s collection – the ultra comfortable lounge pants first released five years ago. I’m happy to report…
As a follow-up to the deep dive into the Twin Peaks Morgue scene written by Harley Peyton for Twin Peaks episode 1.003, I’m looking at another publicity photo from my collection. This image of Albert Rosenfield (Miguel Ferrer) and Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) is unique in several ways. We never see this exact exchange in…
As a child, I loved going to the local Drive-In Movie Theater in Columbus, Ohio. I saw so many films from the comfortable of my parent’s vehicle while hearing the film’s audio broadcast from a bulky metal speaker attached to the car’s window. While many Drive-Ins have long since closed, the Mahoning Drive-In Theater, nestled…
