The “Beaches” Mansion
‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches. And while it had long…

Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ Never in a million years did I think that the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, one of my all-time favorite movies, would provide me with a Haunted Hollywood posting, but it did! In July 2014, a reader named Frank Vollhardt wrote a comment on my post about the DTMTBD house alerting…

The Los Angeles Flower Market from “Valentine’s Day”
‘ A few weeks ago, the Grim Cheaper and I headed out to the Original Los Angeles Flower Market in Downtown L.A. to find a florist for our upcoming wedding on August 21st. For those who don’t live in the area, the Flower Market and surrounding Flower District are something of a phenomenon, the likes…

Madame Tussauds Hollywood
‘ This past weekend, while out stalking in Hollywood, my fiance and I walked right past the new Madame Tussauds wax museum and I just about had a total meltdown right there on the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard! The museum, which was supposed to open to the public on August 1st, was hosting a special preview event when we walked…

Hyatt Westlake Plaza from “The Karate Kid”
‘ 2014 was definitely the year of The Karate Kid.

Beeman Park from “Girls Just Want to Have Fun”
‘ I often get asked if I think that someday down the road I might run out of places that I am passionate about stalking. That is like asking if I will ever tire of shopping! The answer is a definitive no! As long as movies and TV shows continue to be made, this girl…

Hollywood Center Motel
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to ask me if I knew that my latest Hollywood crush, Simon Baker, had one of his earliest acting roles in the 1997 movie L.A. Confidential. And I almost fell out of my chair! Even though I’”‘”‘ve seen that movie about a hundred times, I never realized…

I am in love – and his name is Don Antonio!
‘ Like most everyone who watches, I, too, think Spencer and Heidi from are complete douchbags – but I still had to go find the restaurant they seem to visit on every episode – Don Antonio’”‘”‘s. It was easy enough to find with a simple Google search and, with camera in hand, my boyfriend and I ventured out there one Friday night. It…

The “Scream” Video Store
‘ Extremely nostalgic by nature, I was recently thinking about the demise of video stores and how many movies would suffer if made today because of it – movies like The Holiday, Clerks and, of course, Scream. Without the scene set at Woodsboro’s local VHS rental spot in the latter, in which Randy Meeks (Jamie…

Bun ‘N Burger Restaurant from “An American Summer”
‘ I must apologize in advance for today’s fairly short blog post as I just got back from spending pretty much the entire day (over seven hours – not kidding!) on the set of CSI: Miami yet again. And while I promise to write a detailed post about my experiences there in the very near…
