    Vincent Price in Thriller

    ‘ At the risk of this site dwelling far too excessively on the recent sad passing of pop star Michael Jackson, I just had to write one more blog post about him.  Or, rather, about his legendary music video Thriller and one of its main filming locations. I received an email last night with the above photograph…

    The First Wives Club Building

    ‘ Amazingly enough, I still have a long list of New York filming locations that I have yet to blog about from last year’s trip to the Big Apple.  One of those locations is the Fifth Avenue building where Dan Hedaya lived with his trashy trophy-girlfriend Sarah Jessica Parker in fave movie The First Wives…

  • Moving Day!

    Moving Day!

    ‘ My parents officially moved to Palm Springs today, marking the first time in over a decade that we will not be living in the same zip code.  Watching their U-Haul drive off was one of the saddest moments I’ve experienced as of late, so I was not in a really good place to write…

    Day Off!

    ‘ Because I spent all day yesterday out and about stalking with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, I did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I do promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new location.  In the meantime, I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous weekend! Until…

    Spadra Cemetery

    ‘ Finding the words “ghost town” used to describe a cemetery is likely to cause my head to start spinning.  Which is exactly what happened while I was doing some research on abandoned locales for an upcoming Discover Los Angeles post.  I happened to come across an article on the Avoiding Regret blog about a…

  • Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    Mia’s House from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ Reese Witherspoon certainly is the darling of streaming TV!  First Big Little Lies (that’s HBO, but still), then The Morning Show, then Truth Be Told (which she executive-produced) and now Little Fires Everywhere.  The latter, which is currently airing on Hulu, is an adaptation of Celest Ng’s 2017 book of the same name.  Centering…

    "Goose, You Big Stud . . . "

    ‘ No self-respecting stalker can take a trip to San Diego without visiting Kansas City Barbecue, which is more commonly known as the “Top Gun Bar”. Kansas City Barbeque was actually featured twice in the 1986 Tom Cruise flick. It first shows up in the scene where Goose and Maverick serenade Kelly McGillis and Meg…

  • The Little Door Restaurant from “Monster-in-Law”

    The Little Door Restaurant from “Monster-in-Law”

    ‘ One restaurant that I have long wanted to stalk, but could just never seem to find was the adorable little outdoor courtyard spot where Kevin Fields (aka Michael Vartan), his mother, Viola Fields (aka Jane Fonda), and his new fiancé, Charlie Cantilini (aka Jennifer Lopez), lunched towards the end of the 2005 romantic comedy…
