The 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition at FIDM
‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post about the Buckland Auction House from Charmed, this past weekend I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to stalk the 19th Annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design Exhibition which is currently on display at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising Museum & Galleries in Downtown Los Angeles…

Happy Memorial Day!
‘ I’d like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a VERY happy Memorial Day. I am taking today off from blogging as I am currently on vacation in the Pacific Northwest, doing some stalking of the Seattle and Vancouver areas, but I promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new post. I hope you…

Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”
‘ I am not at all a fan of the 1979 movie Phantasm, though you’d never guess it judging by the amount of posts I’ve done on its locations (you can read them here, here, here, here and here). What can I say? Crappy film, fabulous locales! Ever since I first saw the flick last…

The “Ghost Dad” House
‘ Long before I ever moved to Southern California, I purchased the Ultimate Hollywood Tour Book and was absolutely mesmerized by what I found inside. One whole chapter of the tome is dedicated to filming locations in Pasadena and its environs and when my family and I did relocate to the Crown City in 2000,…

The Safari Inn from “True Romance”
‘ One oft-filmed-at locale that I had known about for ages, but had never gotten around to stalking was the historic Safari Inn on West Olive Avenue in Burbank. I had driven by the motel countless times over the years – I get my hair done right across the street, in fact – and, even…

Another Day of Cleaning!

The McDonald Mansion from “Pollyanna”
‘ I am fully aware that I have a hyperbolic nature. I use words like “favorite,” “best,” and “most” a LOT. Caps, too, for that matter. I wouldn’t say that I am an exaggerator, though. I just happen to like a lot of things. Case in point, I have more “all-time favorite” movies than I…

The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”
‘ Fellow stalker John Bengtson, from the SIlent Locations blog, sent me an email last week after reading my post on Red Studios Hollywood from The Artist (a location that I had learned about from his website) informing me that he had tracked down some locales from Season 7’s “The Search” episode of The Office…

A “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” Halloween
‘ I usually start planning my and the Grim Cheaper’s Halloween costumes on November 1st each year. Out with the old, in with the new, as they say. This year I was a bit late to the game because by the time mid-summer came around, I still found myself with no ideas. And then, on…

The Chandler Estate from “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”
‘ The Chandlers are widely considered to be one of L.A.’s “first families.” Patriarch Harry not only served as publisher of the Los Angeles Times for 27 years, but was largely responsible for developing the San Fernando Valley, the Hollywood Hills and Dana Point in the O.C., as well. He was also instrumental in the…
