  • Eastern State Penitentiary

    Eastern State Penitentiary

    ‘ Prior to traveling anywhere, I read copious amounts about the place I plan on visiting.  Copious amounts, from sources including books, magazines, websites, guides, and blogs.  My favorite travel guides are the Eyewitness Travel books published by DK.  Before my recent trip back east, during which we visited Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Philadelphia, I…

  • Harris’ House from “L.A. Story”

    Another L.A. Story location that production designer Lawrence Miller talked about in “The L.A. of L.A. Story” featurette included on the 1991 comedy’s 15th Anniversary Edition DVD was the Spanish-style dwelling where wacky weatherman Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) lived.  And even though the address of the home had been listed on the L.A. Story…

  • License to Stalk!

    License to Stalk!

    ‘ When I was about ten years old, my favorite movie in the world was License to Drive starring the two Coreys. I bought the movie on VHS and literally watched it every single Friday and Saturday night. I was absolutely obsessed with Mercedes Lane in the movie, a character played by Heather Graham. I…

  • Marilyn’s House from “Four Christmases”

    Marilyn’s House from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ Early yesterday morning, after what had amounted to years and years of searching and thanks to the assistance of both Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my good friend Nat, I finally, finally, FINALLY managed to track down the San Francisco-area house where Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) lived in the 2008 holiday flick…

  • New York’s Paley Park

    New York’s Paley Park

    ‘ New York has no shortage of “secret” places.  I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday.  Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood.  We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit…

  • Happy Presidents’ Day!

    Happy Presidents’ Day!

    ‘ I am taking today off to celebrate Presidents’ Day, but I wanted to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very happy holiday.  I hope you all had a fabulous three day weekend, as well.  I will be back tomorrow with a whole new post! Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • The Shannen Doherty “Badass” Book Signing

    The Shannen Doherty “Badass” Book Signing

    ‘ This past Tuesday night, the Grim Cheaper, fellow stalker Erika, and I all headed out to the Grove Shopping Center in Los Angeles to attend the Shannen Doherty Badass book signing and, as you can probably well imagine, I could NOT have been more excited about it!  As I was telling the GC on…

  • The Salem Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    The Salem Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”

    ‘ Today, we have a very special guest post brought to you by my good friend/Hocus Pocus aficionado Katie, who recently took a trip to Salem, Massachusetts to stalk the locations featured in the bewitching (pun intended!) 1993 film.  When she kindly proposed writing a column about her adventure during my Haunted Hollywood postings, I…

  • Loretta Young’s Former West Hollywood House

    Loretta Young’s Former West Hollywood House

    ‘ Once I discovered that Loretta Young’s Palm Springs house (which I blogged about on Tuesday) was not, in fact, the place where Judy Lewis (the legendary actress’ secret love child with Clark Gable) learned the truth about her birth, I set out to track down the location where the encounter actually did take place. …

  • The Trenton Family Home from “Cujo”

    The Trenton Family Home from “Cujo”

    ‘ Cujo is regularly hailed as one of the best cult horror movies of all time.  I never actually saw the 1983 flick until just prior to writing this post, but I came across some information about the main house – or, more accurately, houses – used in it while researching filming locations in Sonoma…
