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.

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…

Throughout 2024, several retailers released new officially licensed Twin Peaks products. From H&M to GAP Canada to Jun Takahashi’s Undercover, it was a delight seeing these new items created several years after the third season concluded. Now, the Paramount Shop, home to official products from David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show, has introduced…
As the last hours of 2024 fade away, I’m closing out the year with a look at another vintage postcard of Snoqualmie Falls and the former Snoqualmie Falls Lodge known today at The Salish Lodge and Spa. This unique view was captured by a Tacoma-based photographer who spent decades involved with Washington state photography.
In the last moments of 2024, I’m looking back at favorite Twin Peaks Blog stories you may have missed this year.

My first visit to the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington was in August 1996 for the Twin Peaks Fan Festival. During the event, I took a bus tour of the film locations which included the Mt. Si Motel in North Bend, Washington. This was the spot used in David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire…
