  • The Evers’ House from “The Haunted Mansion”

    The Evers’ House from “The Haunted Mansion”

    ‘ My Los Angeles magazine editor is on vacation this week, so I will not have a post on LAmag.com today.  To make up for it, though, I’ve got a Haunted Hollywood locale for you right here!  One of my favorite parts about the Halloween season is watching scary movies.  (And of course stalking their…

  • Gia Scala’s Former House

    Gia Scala’s Former House

    ‘ I am embarrassingly ignorant when it comes to Old Hollywood.  So much so that when a fellow stalker named Alan tipped me off to a few celebrity death sites including that of Gia Scala via a comment on my Challenge Lindsay page in early 2017, I thought he was referring to the ‘70s supermodel…

  • Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”

    Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”

    ‘ When I was a little girl, my grandma would regularly take me out for an afterschool treat at our local ice cream parlor.  I cherished those trips, and now the memories of them, and was absolutely devastated when the parlor closed down about 15 years ago only to be replaced by a gift store. …

  • The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    ‘ I can honestly say that out of all of the locations that I have ever stalked in my entire life, the subject of today’s post is hands down the most perplexing and mind-boggling!  Last week, when I called up Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to tell him that Geoff, from the 90210locations website, had tracked down…

  • Lady Heather’s House

    Lady Heather’s House

    ‘ On the second season of we were introduced to a character whom Grissom later became very fond of named Lady Heather. On the show Lady Heather, who was played by Melinda Clarke, owns an S&M fetish club in Sin City which she runs out of her extraordinary home. Lady Heather first appeared as a…

  • The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    The “Psycho” Car Dealership

    ‘ While putting together a list of spooky-type locales to stalk during my Haunted Hollywood month a couple of weeks ago, I decided to peruse through fave book James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America’s Pop Culture Landmarks by Chris Epting for a little inspiration.  And, let me tell you, I just about died…

  • Villa Primavera – The “In a Lonely Place” Apartment Building

    Villa Primavera – The “In a Lonely Place” Apartment Building

    ‘ While doing research on the Double Indemnity house, which I blogged about a couple of weeks ago, I came across some information about Villa Primavera – a courtyard-style apartment building that was featured in the 1950 film noir classic In a Lonely Place.  I immediately became intrigued with the West-Hollywood-area building due to an…

  • Linda Vista Community Hospital

    Linda Vista Community Hospital

    ‘ Way back in August, in preparation for my Haunted Hollywood postings, I dragged the Grim Cheaper out to a spot that is, hands down, the spookiest location I have ever visited in all my years of stalking – Linda Vista Community Hospital in Boyle Heights.  Because the property is not only a filming location,…

  • Dorothy Stratten’s Former House

    Dorothy Stratten’s Former House

    ‘ True crime has always fascinated me.  One case that I had never followed, though (probably because I was barely three years old at the time the events took place), was the murder of Playboy Playmate Dorothy Stratten in 1980.  When my friends Lavonna, Kim, Katie and Kaylee came to L.A. for a visit this…

  • Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”

    Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”

    ‘ Way back in April, after stalking the talking road condition sign location from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) and Malibu Hindu Temple from Beverly Hills Ninja (which I blogged about here), Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to the Tarzana-area house where Heather Langenkamp (who played herself) lived with her husband, Chase Porter…
