The Black Lodge is an extra-dimensional place of black-and-white zigzag floors and red velvet drapes, home to otherworldly inhabitants whose voices are warped and movements unnatural, unlike any other environment in Mark Frost and David Lynch’s nightmarishly ambitious Twin Peaks revival.

Speaking about the fictional setting, Kyle MacLachlan revealed how the Black Lodge seemed to have a different energy to anywhere else on the production shoot, admitting that it was interesting to watch other cast members struggle with the backwards-speech.

Reminiscing over his scenes in the Black Lodge, MacLachlan explained:

“I was very lucky that all I really had to do occasionally in the Black Lodge was walk backwards and sit down. […] It feels very focused and like electricity is buzzing around. It is a very unusual environment. That [black and white] floor gives you a very different state of being.”
