    Perino’s Restaurant

    ‘ Today’s post is going to be a long one, my fellow stalkers, so brace yourselves!  I hope that it makes up for the fact that I was on vacation for the past week.    Last October, while doing research on Mommie Dearest locations for my annual Haunted Hollywood postings, I came across a page…

    Touring Paramount . . . Again

    ‘ I spent this past Friday on the Paramount tour and doing some other miscellaneous stalking with my good friend and fellow stalker Lavonna and a group of her girlfriends, who were all in town visiting from Ohio.  Because we were out and about all day, I did not have time to write a post…

    The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”

    ‘ Ah, how I love creepy old houses.  Horror flicks?  Not so much.  Which is strange, I know, being that I am such a fan of Halloween, all things scary, and movies in general.  I do absolutely love horror films that are done well, though (hello, Scream!), but find that the vast majority are pretty…
