David Lynch’s 22 Strangest ‘Otherworld’ Characters
10. Black Lodge Inhabitants & Angels: Twin Peaks/Fire Walk With Me
The angels wouldnt help you, because theyve all gone away. The aforementioned Black and White Lodges are home to a host of different characters, many of which only appear on screen very briefly. There is the meeting above the convenience store in Fire Walk With Me, which features a Jumping Man in a Pinocchio mask (Carlton L. Russell) and characters credited solely as The Electrician (Calvin Lockhart), Woodsman (Jürgen Prochnow) and Second Woodsman (David Brisbin). These characters were presumably to be developed further in the never-made sequel films. There are also the doppelgängers of Leland Palmer (Ray Wise), Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) in the shows finale, each of which seems to be an evil version of their real world selves. There is even the appearance of vocalist Little Jimmy Scott, singing his show-stopping rendition of Sycamore Trees. But perhaps the most fascinating (beyond the more major figures discussed later in this list) are the angels in Fire Walk With Me. Laura speaks openly to Donna about how the angels have left her to fend for herself, an occurrence that is highlighted when her guardian angel vanishes from a painting in her bedroom. When BOB captures Laura at the films conclusion, fellow abductee Ronette Pulaskis (Phoebe Augustine) angel comes to her rescue. Lauras does not appear and she is murdered. However, on her arrival in the Lodge (whether it is the Black or White one is unclear), her Guardian Angel does arrive to guide her to the peaceful afterlife, and she is finally rewarded with a beautiful happy ending.
