  • The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    The “Poison Ivy” Mansion

    ‘ Back in early August, Drew Barrymore aficionado Ashley, from the Drewseum website, challenged me to find the large pink mansion belonging to the  Cooper family – Sylvie (aka Sara Gilbert), Darryl (aka Tom Skerritt), and Georgie (aka Cheryl Ladd) – in the 1992 thriller Poison Ivy.  But because I was just a few weeks…

    Contempo Casuals from “Clueless”

    ‘ Happy 2015, folks!  Now that the holidays have come to a close, I will (hopefully) be back to my regularly scheduled blogging.  So here goes.  Stalking is obviously my favorite pastime, but shopping comes in at a close second.  So when I get an opportunity to combine the two, I jump at it.  A…

  • Jimmie’s House from “Pulp Fiction” – the Correct One!

    Jimmie’s House from “Pulp Fiction” – the Correct One!

    ‘ Last week, a location photographer named Cris emailed me to ask for some stalking help.  Turns out he had just scouted a house located at 4507 Kraft Avenue in Studio City and the owner (who bought the abode in 2009) had informed him that the residence had been used as Jimmie Dimmick’s (Quentin Tarantino’s)…

  • Azul Tapas Lounge from “Hidden Away”

    Azul Tapas Lounge from “Hidden Away”

    ‘ Last February, a film crew descended upon Palm Springs for 12 days to shoot the Lifetime Original Movie Hidden Away.  Sadly, I never got to witness any of the filming, but I read numerous newspaper articles about the production and stalked a few of the locations mentioned, including Azul Tapas Lounge.  Because we do…

    Jeff Malene’s House From Girls Just Want To Have Fun

    ‘ Got a call from fellow stalker Chas last week, who told me that he had finally received his Girls Just Want To Have Fun  Netflix rental in the mail.  Chas was calling me up to ask if I wanted any other locations from the movie found – besides SJP’”‘”‘s ubiquitous apartment building, of course.  I believe my…

    The Marlin Club from “Bring It On”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, my parents, my fiance, and I went down to San Diego for a few days for a short little summer vacay.  When I told fellow stalker Owen where I was headed, he set out on a mission to find pretty much every single location used in 2000′”‘”‘s Bring It On, a teen comedy which was filmed in its…

  • Peg Entwistle’s Former House

    Peg Entwistle’s Former House

    ‘ Another location that I learned about thanks to the fabulous Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites book, which was penned by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the one-time Beachwood Drive home of Peg Entwistle, the tragic blonde actress who only achieved fame after her 1932 suicide, in which she jumped to her…

  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    ‘ Sitting on a quiet corner on an idyllic street in Santa Rosa is a home with quite a scary movie pedigree.  Not only did the Italianate Victorian-style abode appear in a Hitchcock classic, the 1943 thriller Shadow of a Doubt, but in my favorite horror flick of all time, Scream!  (While the residence has…

  • Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    Cole’s House from “The Sixth Sense”

    ‘ Locations stick with me.  They just do.  Obviously.  One that stuck with me above the realm of normalcy, though, is the handsome brick townhouse where Cole Sear (Haley Joel Osment) lived in The Sixth Sense. Even though I’ve only actually seen the 1999 thriller once, the image of Bruce Willis as child psychologist Malcolm…

  • Sad Day for Stalkers!

    ‘ Sad news!! Tony just posted a comment on my Top Gun Bar post letting me know that a fire destroyed Kansas City Barbeque, aka the Top Gun Bar, this past Thursday afternoon. This has NOT been a good month for fires and filming locations – first Universal and now this. 🙁 At approximately 2:15PM…
