“Twin Peaks”: New Info For Revival Series Released #SDCC
While there wasn’t a “Twin Peaks” panel at the San Diego Comic Con, original star Ray Wise, who played “Leland Palmer”, was in attendance for Batman: Killing Joke panel. It was there that he revealed a few details for the upcoming third season, which comes 26 years after the series originally ended.

Firstly, he explains that we’ll be seeing “Twin Peaks” on Showtime in Summer of 2017. Ergo, sit back, relax, have a cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie because it’s gonna be a bit before we hear that sublime opening theme.
Next, and this is where it gets interesting, is that Wise will be in all 18 episodes. I’m not going to spoil the original storyline of Leland Palmer for those of you who haven’t seen the show but for those of you who HAVE, this news should raise an eyebrow or two.
Lastly, Wise revealed that David Lynch directed all 18 episodes, so his touch is going to be on every second of the third season. That alone skyrockets my excitement!
Alright, “Twin Peaks” fans, what do you make of this information? Should we begin speculating or should we wait until the show is out before deciphering Wise’s role?

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
