In ‘93, Wrapped in Plastic interviewed Frank Silva at Twin Peaks Fest in WA. Frank signed a stack of magazines for contest prizes. In 2021, I traded a signed copy of Alice in Chains’ “Facelift” that I got for $3 while working at a record store for one of these mags. Best $3 I’ve ever spent.

Framed copy of Wrapped in Plastic magazine issue #3 featuring a drawing of Frank Silva as Killer Bob on the cover. Signed in black marker, the cover says “Beware of Bob, Frank Silva.”Wrapped in Plastic magazine page with details for a write in contest. The text reads as follows:
“THE SECOND WRAPPED IN PLASTIC CONTEST! Next issue, we'll announce the winners of our Julee Cruise contest, but while you're waiting, enter our new contest below! The prizes: WIP #3—our "Killer Bob" issue-signed by Frank Silva himself! Across the cover, they say, "Beware of Bob, Frank Silva"! Wow, Bob, wow! Answer the four questions below! We'll take all the correctly-answered entries we've received by February 15 and randomly draw five winners! Once again, the rules: entries must be submitted on a postcard. The WIP staff is, of course, ineligible to win. Entries received after February 15 are too late! So here are the questions:
1. Which two Twin Peaks actors' birthdays are on Halloween (October 31)?
2. Which rock video had a brief appearance by Frank
Silva as Bob?
3. Name at least four "mirrors" that Bob appears in.
4. When Leland was a little boy, Bob used to flick matches at him. Where did he say this happened?”

Happy birthday to the great Ray Wise, whose dynamic performance as Leland Palmer carried much of #TwinPeaks tension. Here he is holding one of the original “Have You Seen This Man?” posters that I displayed at the Real Twin Peaks prop panel in February 2025. Great actor and a great sport.

If you’re at the Mahoning Drive In’s “Wild World of David Lynch” event this weekend, you’ll find me with a display of original #TwinPeaks props alongside prop master/painter Dave Robinson. This is Dave’s FIRST EVER fan event, and it means the world to me to shine a light on his work. Come say hi!

In 2011, David Lynch designed a set of patches exclusively for “In the Trees: Twin Peaks 20th Anniversary Art Exhibition” which was held at Clifton’s in DTLA (who would later host the afterparty for the S3 premiere). Artists in the exhibit included Grace Zabriskie, Richard Beymer, and Lynch himself.

We don’t see Sheriff Truman’s office until season two of #TwinPeaks but once we do, this Rosenthal-Netter owl paperweight bounces around the set, sometimes appearing on the desk, sometimes the shelf, sometimes under a bell jar, sometimes in the open. My replica indicates these were made in Taiwan 🦉

Exactly 35 years ago on June 10, 1991, #TwinPeaks original run ended with 18 minutes in the Black Lodge - more than all previous appearances combined. Dave Robinson gave me this Polaroid of the iconic chevron floor that he painted over the course of a week. For the record, it was brown and cream.

In Part 6 of #TwinPeaks S3, Carl Rodd sits on a bench and looks up at the trees. This was filmed at EJ Roberts Park in North Bend, WA. Roberts was a developer who donated the park upon his death, but there has been a push to rename it due to his refusal to sell the homes he built to people of color.

It’s been awhile since I’ve made any #TwinPeaks art, so I decided to go back to the beginning when the first layer of the show’s mystery is literally pulled back in the form of a plastic tarp. Handmade prints (4x6” stamp on 8x10” paper) are available. Please reach out if you’d like one 🏔️🏔️

Yesterday marked 9 years since the long awaited #TwinPeaks revival premiered on Showtime. To celebrate, fans from all over the world flocked to North Bend WA for a watch party with photo ops, location tours, and more. Future mayor Mary Miller photographed the event for the Snoqualmie Valley Record.

Before The Yankee Sphinx was a novel, @markfrost.bsky.social intended for it to be a play. Early readings featured #TwinPeaks alumni Dana Ashbrook, David Patrick Kelly, and “Kyle something.” Read about Mark’s recent conversation with Harley Peyton and catch a book signing next week: l1nq.com/9xllhx2

A few months ago, I spoke to Jeff Goodwin about a book of Blue Velvet photos and memories he hoped to publish. Now with the help of Reel Art Press, he’s launched a Kickstarter campaign for Blue Velvet: A Polaroid Diary. Read some of Jeff’s stories and find the Kickstarter link on Twin Peaks Blog:

In Nov. 2000, David Lynch appeared in an American Express ad campaign designed by Jereon Bours for Ogilvy & Mather USA. For their end of the partnership, AE donated a $25k scholarship to the American Film Institute in Lynch’s name. Elephant Man star Anthony Hopkins was featured in the same campaign.

The Log Lady first appeared in the #TwinPeaks pilot, but her dialogue came in ep. 1.001. She marked the significance in her script with a sticky note reading “1st time I talk about log.” It appears she also suggested to director Duwayne Dunham that she could be reading a newspaper in this scene.

In #TwinPeaks, March 26 marks the day Agent Cooper enters the Black Lodge through a circle of twelve sycamores surrounding a pool of oil in Glastonbury Grove. This was filmed in a clearing at Franklin Canyon Park near Beverly Hills - a catch-all location for many of Twin Peaks’ outdoor scenes.

Happy birthday to Harley Peyton, who wrote nearly half of Twin Peaks’ original run, produced season two, and earned an Emmy nod. Lynch and Frost may have created Twin Peaks, but Harley Peyton deserves a tremendous amount of credit for expanding upon their world & developing our favorite characters.

“The Roadhouse is proud to present…The Nine Inch Nails!” Last night in Sacramento, NIN called back to Trent Reznor’s various collaborations with David Lynch, performing both “The Perfect Drug” as written for Lost Highway and a remix of “She’s Gone Away” from the Twin Peaks revival. Great show.

It was such a treat talking #TwinPeaks with two people who were essential to the Washington production whose perspectives we rarely hear. Thank you Heidi and Eugean! 🏔️🏔️

During the Real #TwinPeaks 2026 event, @twelverainbowtrout.bsky.social facilitated a fascinating panel discussion with Dirtfish Facilities Manager Eugean Thompson and WA Casting Director Heidi Walker. The 50-min chat was held at Volition Brewing Co. in North Bend twinpeaksblog.com/2026/03/15/r...

In episode 1.004 of #TwinPeaks, Cooper & co track down the one-armed man at the Timber Falls Motel. This was filmed at 29033 Lake Vista Dr in Agoura Hills, CA at the Malibou Lake Mountain Club. In reality, this is a storage shed in the lot of the private community’s event hall. Photo from June 2025.
