Site of the grisly murder of Laura Palmer, the Train Car appears in only three episodes from the first two seasons of Twin Peaks and reappears in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. For this Vacant Peaks article, I share scenes from the outside and inside the car without people present.
With this year marking the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11, it’s fitting I turn the spotlight on the moon in Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me in a new Setting the Stage article. Similar to long shots of traffic lights, perched owls or the mysterious woods, the series and film include a few brief…
CBS Home Entertainment officially announced two new Twin Peaks releases for fall 2019 on August 21, 2019. If I had a nickel for every VHS, Laserdisc, DVD or Blu-ray I own of my all-time favorite show, I’d be dead. But they know how to get me to purchase the series two more times. This article takes a…
Several years ago, we were blessed with The Missing Pieces from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

The menus are very presentable.” I love a good challenge. @TwinPeaksArchive gave me a heads up that the Showtime Store released a new poster that appeared to be an image from Double R Diner Menu used…
I love taking photos of signs and roadside architecture during my many travels throughout the United States. I imagine if Twin Peaks was an actual town, I would have a ball snapping images of the many iconic destinations. For this Setting the Stage article, I’ve compiled reference images for the various signs and logos created…
Music has always played an important part of my Twin Peaks obsession as the original soundtrack album was my gateway to the show in 1993. Years later, thanks to the efforts of Dean Hurley, a longtime David Lynch collaborator who operated and managed Lynch’s Asymmetrical Studio from 2005-2018, we were blessed with the release of…
Hop in the van as it’s time for another film location article about a driving scene in Twin Peaks on Showtime.
