  • Tom Neal’s Former House

    Tom Neal’s Former House

    ‘ Upon first moving to the Desert in January, I started seriously perusing the book Palm Springs Confidential, which the Grim Cheaper’s boss had purchased for me several years prior.  One locale mentioned in the tome that immediately piqued my interest was the former Little Tuscany Estates residence of Tom Neal, where, on April 1st,…

  • La Villa Consolata – The Day Spa from the “Driven” Episode of “CSI: Miami”

    La Villa Consolata – The Day Spa from the “Driven” Episode of “CSI: Miami”

    ‘ Back in January, a fellow stalker named Brandi left a comment on my post about the mansion from The Beverly Hillbillies movie informing me that the property’s indoor spa had not actually been used in the Season 4 episode of CSI: Miami titled “Driven”, as I had originally presumed, but that that spa could…

  • Myra Jones’ Former House

    Myra Jones’ Former House

    ‘ Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog.  Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I…

  • “The Hangover” Gas Station

    “The Hangover” Gas Station

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I spent last week in Las Vegas on a business/pleasure trip (hence the lack of recent blog posts).  While there, we were lucky enough to stay at Caesars Palace (post on that location coming soon!) and found ourselves constantly quoting lines from The Hangover.  So one evening we decided to…

  • Howard Stern’s Building

    Howard Stern’s Building

    ‘ Why oh why did when I am already back on the West Coast??  Apparently Howard Stern is very upset that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have moved onto the same block where he resides. While I was in New York this past week, I was obsessively keeping my eyes peeled at every children’”‘”‘s playground…

  • Counterpoint Records and Books from “A Lot Like Love”

    Counterpoint Records and Books from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ I obviously need to start paying closer attention to things because for years I was under the impression that all of the locations from fave movie A Lot Like Love had been tracked down.  But while scanning through the 2005 romcom to make screen captures for my recent post on the home where Oliver’s…

  • The Smith Estate from “Insidious: Chapter 2”

    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…

  • My Los Angeles Must-Stalk List

    My Los Angeles Must-Stalk List

    ‘ If I had a nickel for every time a fellow stalker wrote to me asking for my top ten favorite locations in all of Los Angeles, I would have a whole lot more Louis Vuitton in my closet than I do right now. Over the years, in response to that repeated question, I compiled…

  • The “Swingers” Apartment Building

    The “Swingers” Apartment Building

    ‘ One location that I stalked quite a few months back, but for whatever reason have yet to blog about is the Los Feliz apartment building where Mike (aka Jon Favreau) lived in the 1996 comedy Swingers.  I had actually been wanting to stalk this location for quite some time, ever since reading on the…

  • 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…
