  • “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    “The Exorcist” House and Stairs

    ‘ I’ve ventured down a deep, dark rabbit hole today, friends.  I should back up and explain from the beginning.  Last night, the Grim Cheaper and I watched The Exorcist for the first time.  I had come across images of the stately brick house and adjacent towering staircase featured in the iconic 1973 horror flick…

  • Runyon Canyon Park from “The Hills”

    Runyon Canyon Park from “The Hills”

    ‘ A few years ago, after my good friend Nat happened to spot Runyon Canyon Park pop up in an episode of fave reality series The Hills, she sent me an email asking if I had ever stalked the place.  And while I had long known that the locale was not only a big-time celebrity…

  • The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    The “She’s Out of Control” House – Part 2

    ‘ One of my favorite parts of writing my blog each day is uncovering the various productions a particular locale has appeared in.  Some spots are so prevalent on the big and small screen that I inevitably miss a role or two, though.  Such was the case with the South Pasadena pad that portrayed the…

  • Coachella 2019

    Coachella 2019

    ‘ Longtime readers of this site know that my musical tastes do not run the gamut.  As I’ve said many times, if it is not sung by Britney Spears, Michael Bublé or Michael Jackson, or was produced in any decade other than the ‘80s, odds are I don’t know it.  But when I was offered…

  • Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    Kirsten Dunst’s Bring It On House

    ‘ Well, as Vanessa Williams once sang, I definitely “saved the best for last” regarding my Bring It On posts this week.  As you might have already guessed, the BIO filming location I was most excited about stalking was, of course, the ultra-cool, modern-style abode belonging to Kirsten Dunst’s character, Torrance Shipman, in the movie.  Fellow…

  • Wattles Mansion from “Troop Beverly Hills”

    Wattles Mansion from “Troop Beverly Hills”

    ‘ After re-watching Troop Beverly Hills a couple of weeks back and subsequently stalking the mansion where the Nefler family lived, I became just a wee bit obsessed with tracking down some of the other locales featured in the 1989 flick.  Thankfully IMDB had quite a few sites listed on its Troop Beverly Hills filming…

  • Royal Dale Townhouses from “The Ropers”

    Royal Dale Townhouses from “The Ropers”

    ‘ Michael, our resident The Brady Bunch filming locations expert, is back once again with a non-Brady locale.  (You can check out his TBB columns here, here, here and here, and his non-TBB columns here and here).  Today’s location is one from way back when, so enjoy! One summer when I was in middle school,…

  • The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper has never been much interested in filming locations, as I’ve mentioned many times before.  He does love stalking them with me, though, as doing so usually involves seeing historic and unique spots.  One site that absolutely bowled him over during our trip back east last September was the George Peabody Library…

  • Altadena Town and Country Club

    Altadena Town and Country Club

    ‘ As I predicted a few weeks ago, getting engaged has opened up a whole new stalking world for me!  And even though I have known for years now the exact spot where I want to get married, I am fully planning on dragging my fiance from one end of L.A. to the other looking at…

  • Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”

    Paty’s Restaurant from “Desperate Housewives”

    ‘ To continue on with this week’s restaurant theme, today I thought I would write a post about an eatery that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked back in January – the historic Paty’s Restaurant in Toluca Lake, which first opened for business just a little over a half century ago in 1960.  I had…
