    Olympic Coffee Shop from “Sharp Objects”

    ‘ I’m not sure what it is about old school diners, but I sure have an affinity for them.  My inclination maybe stems from memories of childhood road trips or weekend mornings spent at greasy spoons with my parents during my early years or my nostalgic nature in general.  Whatever the cause, if I see…

    Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    Jeff’s House from “Spellbinder”

    ‘ My Haunted Hollywood backlog is getting ridiculous!  Currently, I have more than 50 already-stalked spooky locations compiled – and only about 20 or so days each year to blog about them.  Regardless, I keep compiling more – and I love every minute of it!  Why can’t all year be Halloween?  Last October, fellow stalker…
