    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…

    ‘ Another location that has long been stockpiled (or should I say stalk-piled?) in my ever-growing stalking backlog is the original Barney’s Beanery restaurant in West Hollywood, which has been featured in numerous productions over the years and which I visited with fellow stalker Chas, from the It’sFilmedThere website, this past July.  For whatever reason,…

    Slacking Off . . . Again!

    ‘ I unfortunately do not have a blog to post for today (yet again!), but I do have a good excuse.  My dad had surgery yesterday at Cedars- Sinai Hospital to determine how much damage was done to his pancreas over the past three years while he was taking the medication that caused his pancreatitis. …
