Twin Peaks Merch Makers, I’m Begging You, Stop Releasing Plastic Models Of Laura Palmer’s Dead Body
The problem with Twin Peaks is that it’s too cool. The music, fashion, aesthetic, setting—all just impossibly stylish, beautiful, and beguiling. I mean, that’s obviously a good thing about it, but also something of a curse. People understandably latch onto the quirkier aspects of the show, but this often gets in the way of the fact that, deep down, it’s a shocking horror story about sexual violence, incest, and a town complicit in the abuse and brutal killing of a schoolgirl. Which makes it bizarre to discover that, at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, yet another plastic model of the abused, murdered girl in question’s corpse has been revealed alongside Star Wars and Marvel figures.
