Twin Peaks Meets Animal Crossing: David Lynch Fans Recreate Iconic Scenes and Locations from Surreal TV Drama

How do you unwind after a long day at work? Everyone has their own method of finding their center at the end of the day. Many relish in cooking a nice, warm meal to enjoy with their partner. Some people prefer to release endorphins at the gym. Most of us, though, just like to put something on the TV or play a video game. One of the most relaxing video games ever created is, of course, Animal Crossing. Millions of people around the world unwind while building furniture, catching fish, and socializing with quirky characters — all from the comfort of their couch!

Twin Peaks, the surreal 90s soap by David Lynch and Mark Frost, is renowned for its dream-like quality and its mysterious atmosphere. However, when it isn't being psychologically disturbing, it can be quite a silly show filled with unique, eccentric personalities — much like those in Animal Crossing. The overlap between the fandoms is not particularly large, but it exists, and dedicated fans have recreated iconic scenes and locations from the show on their islands. Scroll down to check them out in all of their glorious detail!

“I love this music, isn’t it dreamy?” Audrey’s dancing has forever inspired my dance moves. I wish more bars and clubs played jazzy noir music, though.

Ah, a scene from the 8th episode of Twin Peaks: The Return. It’s amazing something so experimental was allowed to be aired on TV. Lynch has always been breaking the mold.
