  • “The Awakening” Sculpture

    “The Awakening” Sculpture

    ‘ I am not typically a big art person.  This is mainly due to the fact that I love to be outside, especially when on vacation, so I don’t find myself frequenting museums often.  While researching Washington, D.C.-area attractions prior to my trip to the East Coast last September, though, I came across some information…

  • The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    The Culver City Hobbit Houses

    ‘ I have a major affinity for unique architecture.  So when I came across this CurbedLA article about the Lawrence and Martha Joseph Residence and Apartments, a grouping of Storybook-style structures in Culver City colloquially known as the “Hobbit houses,” I just about foamed at the mouth.  The complex looks like something straight out of…

    Nicole Brown Simpson’s Gretna Green House

    ‘ You’d think I would be sick of all things O.J. by now, what with the recent airing of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and the many stalkings I’ve done of the various locations associated with it over the past few months (you can read those posts here, here, here, here, and…

    “Smoke Gets In Your CSIs”

    ‘ A few months ago while doing some cyberstalking, I came across this fabulous blog post about a photographer named Rob Greer who was lucky enough to have my fave show CSI: Miami  film right in his studio.  So, of course, I just had to stalk the place.  🙂  Especially since the episode which was filmed at…

  • The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    The Seven Year Itch Apartment

    ‘ In October 2008 cover story, photographer Mark Anderson asks “Who ever forgets the first time they saw Marilyn Monroe?” Such a great quote! I remember exactly where I was the first time I saw Miss Monroe – sitting in my apartment watching just a few short months ago. As soon as I watched the…

  • Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    Haskell’s Ice Cream Hut from “The Brady Bunch”

    ‘ I have been a The Brady Bunch fanatic since I was about three years old.  Growing up, I wanted nothing more than to be Cindy Brady (Susan Olsen) and don blonde pig tails on a daily basis.  Too bad my hair was brown, curly and far too short for pig tails.  As an adult,…

  • 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,…

  • 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…

  • Charlie and Kevin’s House from “Monster-in-Law”

    Charlie and Kevin’s House from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker Nick challenged me to track down all of the residences used in the 2005 romantic comedy Monster-in-Law, including Charlie Cantilini’s (aka Jennifer Lopez’s) Mediterranean-style apartment building, Kevin Fields’ (aka Michael Vartan’s) Craftsman house, and Viola Fields’ (aka Jane Fonda’s) opulent mansion.  Nick had already done most of…

    Disneyland’s Club 33

    ‘ I must preface today’s blog with an apology, as this is one post that is far too long overdue!  Well over six months ago – yes, I am talking about waaaaaaaaaay back in July of 2009 – my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry invited me to share in her birthday celebration at the…
