    Patapsco Valley State Park from “Serial”

    ‘ Patapsco State Park.  Those three words, the name of a popular Baltimore-area recreation spot, shouldn’t be part of the lexicon of this California native.  But in October 2014, the first season of the investigative podcast Serial was released and instantly became a worldwide phenomenon.  Detailing the 1999 killing of high school student Hae Min…

    Lindsay Lohan’s Former Venice Home

    ‘ I had originally planned on writing about a different location for today’s post, but last night, when the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to watch Oprah Winfrey interview Lindsay Lohan on Oprah’s Next Chapter, I was reminded of a LiLo locale that I had stalked last November – the Venice Beach house where…

  • Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    Tom’s Restaurant from “Seinfeld”

    ‘ Considering it is one of New York’s best-known film locations, you’d think I would have stalked Tom’s Restaurant, aka Monk’s Café from Seinfeld, ages ago.  That was not the case, though.  While the Morningside Heights eatery had been on my To-Stalk List ever since my first visit to Manhattan back in 2005, due to…

    Jaime Pressly’s I Love You, Man House

    ‘ A few months back, I asked fellow stalker Owen for some help in tracking down all of the filming locations from fave movie I Love You, Man.  The spot I was most interested in stalking was the charming little house belonging to Denise (aka Jaime Pressly) and her brutish husband Barry (aka Jon Favreau)…

    The “Black Sheep” House

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last Monday afternoon was the supposed Buckley, Washington-area home where Mike Donnelly (aka Chris Farley) lived in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.  Fellow stalker Owen tracked down this location – along with pretty much every other locale which appeared in the movie – quite a…

    The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa

    ‘ While stalking in Pasadena a few weeks ago I stopped into the Langham Huntington Hotel & Spa to snap some pics.

  • Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    ‘ The recent network television cancellations left me reeling.  Four – yes, four – of my favorite shows – Lucifer, Scorpion, Timeless and Brooklyn Nine-Nine – were given the ax.  Though the latter was promptly rescued, I am still waiting for the #savescorpion, #savelucifer and #savetimeless cries to be heard.  If not, the Grim Cheaper…

    Donna Martin’s House from the B.Y.O.B. Episode of “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ One location that I have been wanting to stalk for just about as long as I can remember now is the mansion where Donna Martin (aka Tori Spelling) lived in the Season 1 episode of fave show Beverly Hills, 90210 titled “B.Y.O.B”.  For whatever reason, though, I could just NOT seem to track the…

  • The Mansion Where Brad and Jen Got Married

    The Mansion Where Brad and Jen Got Married

    ‘ There are some events in history that people remember as if they occurred just yesterday.  For instance, my mom remembers exactly where she was, right down to what she was wearing, on November 22, 1963 when she found out that President Kennedy had been murdered.  Well, I wasn’”‘”‘t alive when JFK was assassinated or when…

  • The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”

    The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”

    ‘ One locale that I came across (thanks to an article on Amoeblog) while doing research for my 2012 Haunted Hollywood posts was the former Cobb Estate in Altadena, the gates of which appeared in the 1979 cult horror film Phantasm.  And while I stalked the location shortly thereafter, for whatever reason I never got…
