The Inside of the Walsh House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”
‘ Last Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I set out to do a little Pasadena stalking. Who knew that our day would hold the stalking adventure to end all stalking adventures! Even as I sit here, days later, writing these words, I am pinching myself, unsure if the whole thing even really happened. But since…

Nick’s (Almost) Apartment from “The Crush”
‘ Just a mile and a half away from the Forrester mansion, which appeared in the 1993 thriller The Crush and which I blogged about yesterday, is the supposed Seattle-area apartment house where Nick Eliot (aka Cary Elwes) tried to rent a unit after discovering that his current landlords’ 14-year old daughter Adrian (aka Alicia…

Laurie Strode’s House from “Halloween”
‘ A couple of months ago, fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, clued me into an INCREDIBLY cool little bit of Haunted Hollywood stalking information that I had not been previously aware of.

Lisa’s post also…

My Day on the Set of Weeds!
‘ I’”‘”‘ve said it before and I’”‘”‘ll say it again – I absolutely LOVE living in L.A. You just never know what surprises lay around each corner here!

Happy Labor Day!
‘ I would like to wish a very happy Labor Day to all of my fellow stalkers. I am taking today off, but will be back on Wednesday with a whole new post. Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately, but the Grim Cheaper and I have been traveling a lot and I have…

Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”
‘ Though all of the homes featured on Pretty Little Liars are pretty darn amazing design-wise, my personal favorite, hands-down, is the farm-like residence where Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) and her family live. So when I began tracking down the locales used in the pilot, which was shot in Vancouver, Spencer’s pad was at the…
