  • Rockhaven Sanitarium

    Rockhaven Sanitarium

    ‘ Back in early September, while doing research on filming locations in Montrose, I came across this 2011 Crescenta Valley Weekly article about a vacant former mental institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium.  My interest was immediately piqued, of course (y’all know how much this stalker LOVES herself some abandoned properties), and I thought the site would…

    Humphrey’s Half Moon Inn & Suites from Bring It On

    ‘ The second item on my Bring It On  stalking agenda from last weekend was a little hotel named Humphrey’”‘”‘s Half Moon Inn & Suites, which is also located on San Diego’”‘”‘s Shelter Island, just down the street from the Marlin Club which I blogged about yesterday.    This is one location that I actually hadn’”‘”‘t planned on stalking when I first…

  • SecondHand Wonderland

    SecondHand Wonderland

    ‘ My BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, recently opened a vintage/collectables shop named SecondHand Wonderland in Simi Valley.  The boutique’s motto is “Not your average thrift store,” which couldn’t more perfectly encapsulate the place.  Mike has accumulated a massive amount of entertainment memorabilia, movie props, sports collectables, magazines and vintage toys over the years, all of…

  • Larry’s Chili Dog from “The Office”

    Larry’s Chili Dog from “The Office”

    ‘ Because fellow stalker Lavonna has been in town for the past few days and I have been doing some major stalking with her, today’s post is, unfortunately, going to be a short one.  Sorry about that folks, but I do promise to be back tomorrow with a regular-sized write-up.  And now, on with the…

    New L.A. Mag Post – Seattle Grace Hospital from “Grey’s Anatomy”

    ‘ Don’t forget to head over to L.A.mag.com today to read my latest post, about Seattle Grace Hospital from Grey’s Anatomy.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours ‘

  • Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    Figaro Bistrot from “Made of Honor”

    ‘ As I mentioned in my post about Le Petit Bistro back in early August, one location that I have been longing to stalk for quite some time now is Figaro Bistrot, an adorable little French cafe that has appeared in numerous productions over the years, most notably the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign…

  • The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”

    The Administration Building, Treasure Island from “The Parent Trap”

    ‘ The stalking itinerary for my October 2016 trip to Northern California was extremely Scream-centric.  So much so that I did not really do any research on area locales from other productions.  But life threw a pleasant surprise my way shortly after I arrived in the City by the Bay.  Upon landing at SFO, my…

  • The Tire House from “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

    The Tire House from “Pee-wee’s Big Holiday”

    ‘ Today’s locale is becoming quite the prolific film star!  I’ve blogged about the residence at 800 Adelaine Avenue in South Pasadena previously – twice, in fact.  It first came on my radar thanks to its appearance in the 2008 comedy Bedtime Stories, as I chronicled here.  Then, in 2015, I noticed it pop up…

  • Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    ‘ Today’s location is a serious fail on my part.  For a couple of years now, I have had the Los Angeles County Hall of Records on my Haunted Hollywood To-Stalk list, not due to its filming history, but because I mistakenly thought the building was where Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy was performed in 1962.  I…

  • Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    Michael Jackson’s Former Condo

    ‘ A few months back I read a fabulous book named Michael Jackson: The Magic, The Madness, The Whole Story written by author J. Randy Taraborelli about the life and times of the King of Pop.  I’ve mentioned the biography once before in a post I wrote back in September about the Jackson Family’s first…
