Black Lodge - Definition

The Black Lodge is a fictional place from the television series Twin Peaks. It is an extradimensional place, decorated in red velvet curtains with black and white tiled floors.

In the series, the character of Deputy Hawk says that it is from the mythology of his people, but the term also occurs in a book called The Devil's Guard by Talbot Mundy. In that book, it is associated with Tibet instead of Native American mythos. If that was the source that the writers used, then Cooper, with his love of Tibet, would have expected to know about it; this might explain the change.
