Tracey Ross from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

And I should mention here that my postings over the next two or three weeks…

Daniel McCormick’s House from “Forever Young”
‘ Back in my early stalking days, I purchased a Scott’s L.A. Audio Tour of Pasadena CD. I loved every minute of it and learned about quite a few new locations while listening, one of which was the home where Claire Cooper (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her son, Nat (Elijah Wood), lived in the 1992…

Jesse and Becky’s Honeymoon Send-Off Location from “Full House”
‘ I have grown used to productions playing fast and loose with location continuity, but was still flummoxed when I came across a thread back in January 2016 on a now defunct website in which a commenter asked if anyone knew which residence was used as the Tanner family home in the Season 4 episode…

Hilton Sonoma Wine Country – Where the Cast of “Scream” Stayed During Filming
‘ I typically begin compiling notes on a location and roughly outlining a post weeks before I hit publish. Today’s article, about the Hilton Sonoma Wine Country, where the cast and crew of Scream stayed during the 1996 film’s 55-day shoot, is no different. Sadly though, devastation struck shortly after I penned that preliminary edit. …

Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”
‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them. My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general. Whatever the cause, if I see…

The “Kill Bill” Church
‘ One location that my dad and I visited while stalking in the Lancaster and Palmdale areas last week was the Sanctuary Adventist Church which was used prominently in the 2003 and 2004 Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2. And although I have never actually seen either of the…
