Halloween
‘ Hi, my name is Lindsay Blake and I have never seen the movie . I know, I know – it’”‘”‘s like sacrilege or something, especially since Halloween is my favorite holiday. I’”‘”‘ve also never seen any of the movies. But I’”‘”‘ve always been kind of a scaredy cat, so as a teenager I was…

The Conservatory Garden from “The Girl on the Train”
‘ One of my favorite places in all of Manhattan is, surprisingly, not a stalking location. Or at least it wasn’t up until recently. The Conservatory Garden, a six-acre oasis in East Harlem situated across from the Museum of the City of New York, is easily the most picturesque park I have ever set foot…

Famous Original Ray’s Pizza from “Sex and the City”
‘ The Grim Cheaper and I used to visit New York at least once a year. Prior to this recent trip, though, we had not been to Manhattan since October 2009! Being separated from my favorite city for almost seven years was quite a hard pill to swallow. During that time, I accumulated a ridiculously…

The “Never Been Kissed” Prom
‘ A couple of weeks ago, thanks to fellow stalker Chas, I was able to stalk the location of South Glen South High School’”‘”‘s prom from the 1999 movie Never Been Kissed. Chas and I both knew that the prom interiors had been filmed at the Ebell of Los Angeles – a women’”‘”‘s educational and philanthropic club which has a long and storied film history…

Fog City Diner from “So I Married an Axe Murderer”
‘ I abhor change, as longtime readers of this site well know. So I was devastated to learn that Fog City Diner, the landmark eatery in my hometown of San Francisco, had undergone a major revamp and reopened as the simpler, sleeker and far more modern “Fog City.” The shiny chrome train-like structure situated on…

Izzy’s Deli from “Curb Your Enthusiasm”
‘ Because our flight home from Switzerland landed smack dab in the middle of rush hour on a Friday evening, the Grim Cheaper and I decided to book a hotel and spend the night near the airport rather than make what probably would have been a four-plus hour drive to Palm Springs. It turned out…

The Los Angeles Filming Locations of “Hocus Pocus”
‘ It’s finally here, folks! The day I wait for all year long. Halloween! I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous, spooky and safe holiday! I figured what better way to celebrate my favorite day than with a post about one of the world’s most beloved Halloween movies, Hocus Pocus. Last week,…

The Old Towne Orange Starbucks from “Surviving Christmas”
‘ There’s nothing this stalker loves more than a filming location that serves coffee. When that filming location is a Starbucks? Well, I’m in hog heaven! So when I spotted an Old Towne Orange outpost of the java giant pop up in the 2004 holiday comedy Surviving Christmas, I immediately added it to my To-Stalk…
