    Jeff’s House from “Spellbinder”

    ‘ My Haunted Hollywood backlog is getting ridiculous!  Currently, I have more than 50 already-stalked spooky locations compiled – and only about 20 or so days each year to blog about them.  Regardless, I keep compiling more – and I love every minute of it!  Why can’t all year be Halloween?  Last October, fellow stalker…

    Hotel Angeleno from “Heat”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I travel back and forth to L.A. so often that sometimes I feel like I live in a hotel – which is not a bad thing, I ADORE hotels.  One that we checked into recently that I absolutely loved was the Hotel Angeleno.  Not only is the place’s architecture unique,…

    ‘ Today’s location comes with a caveat.  Last Saturday evening while in L.A. for a brief visit, I headed to The Griffin, an Atwater Village bar I had been dying to stalk ever since seeing it in an episode of NCIS almost three years ago.  The place did not disappoint and I started writing this…

    Liz Purr’s House from “Jawbreaker”

    ‘ Upon reading today’s title you might be thinking, ‘Hey!  Jawbreaker is not a horror movie!  What is it doing showing up in a Haunted Hollywood post?’  But hear me out.  Last September, a fellow stalker named Mariana emailed to inquire if I had any intel on the “castle-like” pad where Liz Purr (Charlotte Ayanna)…

    Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant from “Beverly Hills, 90210: Exposed!”

    ‘ They say you should always listen to your mother.  It’s good advice.  Case in point – about a decade ago, while stalking in Studio City, my mom, my dad, the Grim Cheaper and I passed by Art’s Delicatessen & Restaurant on Ventura Boulevard and decided to pop in for a bite.  During our meal,…

    Spencer and Heidi’s Wedding!

    ‘ My favorite reality TV duo, better known as Heidi and Spencer, have caused a media shitstorm yet again by announcing that they will be tying the knot – for real this time – in two short weeks right in my hometown of Pasadena.  🙂  Early in the week, I actually got a tip that Speidi would…

    The “Hand That Rocks The Cradle” House

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while visiting the Pacific Northwest this past May was the gorgeous Victorian-style residence where the Bartel family – Claire (aka Annabella Sciorra), Michael (aka Matt McCoy), Emma (aka an absolutely adorable pre-Californication Madeline Zima), and baby Joey (aka Eric, Jennifer, and Ashley Melander)  – and their nanny, Peyton Flanders…
