    The Smith Estate from “Insidious: Chapter 2”

    ‘ Considering I’ve been stalking full-time for close to a decade and annually covering Haunted Hollywood locales for just about as long, you’d think I’d have the market on spooky sites cornered by now.  That is definitely not the case, though.  I am continuously discovering new-to-me spots, scary and otherwise, which speaks more to the…

    Latest Discover L.A. Article – About SciFi Locations

    ‘ Be sure to check out my latest article for Discover Los Angeles.  I went quite a bit outside of my comfort zone for this one and wrote about unusual landscapes and buildings featured in iconic science fiction movies – a genre I am not a huge fan of.  I think it turned out well…

    The Firehouse from “Ghostbusters”

    ‘ This past weekend while doing some stalking in Downtown L.A. I dragged my fiancé out to see an oft-used filming location that has long been at the top of my “To-Stalk” list.  That location is known as Fire Station #23, a real life former working fire house that served as the offices of Dr.…

  • Sur from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Sur from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Last November, the Grim Cheaper and I became obsessed with the Bravo reality series Vanderpump Rules.  Like obsessed.  We binge-watched the entire first season in about two days.  For those who have not seen the show, it centers around West Hollywood eatery Sur (which is co-owned by The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star…

  • Only in L.A.!

    Only in L.A.!

    ‘ The other day while I was on my way to acting class I experienced one of those “Only in L.A.” moments that I love so much. 🙂 While walking past Lucky Strike Lanes Bowling Alley on Highland Avenue in Hollywood I noticed a vending machine selling Movie Star Maps and I just about died…

  • Steff’s House from “Pretty in Pink”

    Steff’s House from “Pretty in Pink”

  • The “American Horror Story” House

    The “American Horror Story” House

    ‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen sent me an email with a tip, as well as this Curbed LA article, about a Haunted-Hollywood-type location that he thought I might be interested in stalking – the imposing brick and marble abode which figures as the focal point of the new television series American Horror Story.  And…

    Lester Siegel’s House from “Argo”

    ‘ Today’s post is the very first blog written from my new home in the desert. The Grim Cheaper and I moved last Wednesday (it took over 15 hours!) and are finally getting settled in to our Palm Springs pad. There is still quite a bit left to complete, though, and, while the hyper-organized/anal/OCD-side of…

    Beating the Heat

    ‘ Sorry to have been a bit MIA lately.  I have been travelling back and forth to L.A. over the past two weeks along with the Grim Cheaper and my parents in order to try to beat the heat in Palm Springs (temps got up to 122 degrees last Monday!).  I did do some stalking…

  • Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    ‘ Though all of the homes featured on Pretty Little Liars are pretty darn amazing design-wise, my personal favorite, hands-down, is the farm-like residence where Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) and her family live.  So when I began tracking down the locales used in the pilot, which was shot in Vancouver, Spencer’s pad was at the…
