  • The Phillips Mansion

    The Phillips Mansion

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper always tells me that it is not about the destination, but the journey.  He’s right.  Getting lost can have its perks.  While driving around looking for Spadra Cemetery (which I blogged about on Friday) a couple of weeks ago, we happened upon a seemingly abandoned mansion set back from the road…

  • Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch

    ‘ I thought I would break away from tradition today by blogging about a place that has no celebrity or film connection – Live Oak Canyon Pumpkin Patch, which is without a doubt the BEST pumpkin patch I have ever been to in my life!  I may be breaking from the norm more often in…

  • Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ Never in a million years did I think that the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, one of my all-time favorite movies, would provide me with a Haunted Hollywood posting, but it did!  In July 2014, a reader named Frank Vollhardt wrote a comment on my post about the DTMTBD house alerting…

  • Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which you can read here), in the Spring of 1942, Alfred Hitchcock, his wife, Alma, and their daughter, Pat, moved out of their first Los Angeles-area home (a Bel Air rental that was previously lived in by Carole Lombard) and into a new one, which they purchased, that…

  • The Sierra Bonita Apartments from “Mulholland Dr.”

    The Sierra Bonita Apartments from “Mulholland Dr.”

    ‘ Another Haunted-Hollywood-type location that I found thanks to fellow stalker/David Lynch aficionado Brad, from the Brad D Studios website, was the fictionally-named “Sierra Bonita” apartment complex –  the fairy-tale-style property that was featured in one of the more intense and terrifying scenes from the surrealist director’s incredibly odd 2001 thriller Mulholland Dr. Brad had…

  • Chateau Emanuel from “The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley”

    Chateau Emanuel from “The Adventures of Mary-Kate & Ashley”

    ‘ I am a HUGE fan of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen movies, as I have mentioned previously.  Passport to Paris, When in Rome, New York Minute – all favorites, even though I am just a wee bit off age-wise when it comes to their target demographic.  So when fellow stalker Chris (he’s the one who…

  • Woodsboro High School from “Scream”

    Woodsboro High School from “Scream”

    ‘ Earlier this month, my mom and I flew to Northern California and embarked upon an epic stalking tour of Scream filming locations.  And when I say epic, I mean epic!  We hit up everything from the grocery store where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) and Tatum Riley (Rose McGowan) shopped (the owner of the market…

  • Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    ‘ As I have mentioned several times before on this blog, I absolutely cannot watch an episode of fave show Dexter without having my iPad next to me and a web-browser open to the Seeing Stars website’s extensive Dexter filming locations page.  And this season has been no different.  While watching the episode titled “Once…

  • Halloween

    Halloween

    ‘ Hi, my name is Lindsay Blake and I have never seen the movie . I know, I know – it’”‘”‘s like sacrilege or something, especially since Halloween is my favorite holiday. I’”‘”‘ve also never seen any of the movies. But I’”‘”‘ve always been kind of a scaredy cat, so as a teenager I was…

  • Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    ‘ Another spooky locale that I learned about thanks to fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, and his fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the longtime home of Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and his wife, actress Donna Dixon.  The residence piqued my interest due to Aykroyd’s claim of numerous hauntings taking place there…
