    The “Beautiful Girls” Houses

    ‘ As I remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick Beautiful Girls.  But, being that no one that I’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, I’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all-star cast.  Nevertheless,…

    Watching the Filming of The Mentalist!

    ‘ Last week, while out and about stalking in Pasadena, I just happened to run across a large production crew filming underneath the Colorado Street Bridge, so, of course, I just had to pull my car over to ask what was being filmed.  🙂  Well, when I found out the filming was for my new favorite TV show The Mentalist,I just about flipped my…

  • The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    ‘ It seems that every time I turn around lately, I come across someone who is obsessed with Hallmark Channel made-for-television movies.

    ‘ 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)…

  • The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”

    The Old Orange County Courthouse from “American Horror Story: Asylum”

    ‘ It is a sad truth that many filming locations are not publicly accessible.  (I’m looking at you Fremont Place, Golden Oak Ranch, the Jack Rabbit Slim’”‘”‘s exterior from Pulp Fiction, pretty much all of the houses from Scream, and Venice High School!  Yes, I have toured the latter several times, but I have never…
