[Cue “Deer Meadow Shuffle”] I’ve previously shared how much I love for the first 30 minutes of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. There is something mesmerizing about the interactions between FBI Agents Chester Desmond and Sam Stanley. Shortly after Gordon Cole introduces them, the Agents head toward Deer Meadow, Washington to examine the body of…
As the Twin Peaks Fan Festival returns to the North Bend and Snoqualmie area in Washington State, I’m reminiscing about my first (and only) visit in August 1996. Attending the fan fest with my buddy Joe, we visited many of the iconic film locations including Salish Lodge and Snoqualmie Falls. Here are several photos from…
For years, I longed to see the deleted scenes in my favorite David Lynch film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Before The Missing Pieces was released in 2014, the closest I got to “seeing” these scenes was a script-to-screen comparison on Dugpa.com. One of those scenes included Special Agent Phillip Jeffries checking into The…
For this Vacant Peaks article, I’m taking a look at the FBI Office in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as seen in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This scene, which marked the return of the long lost Phillip Jeffries, had a few glimpses without people. The “field office” was shot at the now demolished Cabrini Hospital once located…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, there are two scenes that take place at the FBI field office located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Monochromatic flashbacks from this location also appear in Parts 14 and 15 of Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime. In reality, these scenes were captured at a now demolished building in downtown Seattle,…
According to the “Twin Peaks Access Guide to the Town,” Calhoun Memorial Hospital is located at the corner of Lynch Road and Falls Avenue in Twin Peaks. In reality, the building’s exterior was shot in Tukwila, Washington. As the sun was setting on October 11, 2019, I dashed over to grab a few updated location…
When Twin Peaks returned in 2017 to Showtime, the opening credits were updated with new footage from the Washington state area. One of the first images seen is tree covered mountains bathed in mist. As it turns out, this location is very familiar to fans – it’s part of the historic Snoqualmie Falls.
The Hayward House in Twin Peaks used two film locations. An exterior of a home in Monrovia, California was used in Seasons 1 and 2. For the Pilot Episode and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the home was located in Everett, Washington. This time, I’m taking a closer look at the latter home built in 1910.
There is a playful exchange with Mike Nelson and Bobby Briggs as Laura Palmer and Donna Hayward pass by Bobby’s car in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. The brief scene has additional footage included in The Missing Pieces. The entire exchange takes place just down the street from where the Hayward House was shot…
To paraphrase a line from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, “This is where Leo and Shelly live!” I’m taking a look at the exterior scenes of The Johnson House in this Setting the Stage story. Two different exterior locations were used for the home – one in Washington state and the other in southern California.
