The “Thriller” House
‘ Today, in honor of Halloween, I thought I’d blog about what is arguably the most famous haunted house of all time – the Victorian-style residence that was featured in the 1983 music video “Michael Jackson’s Thriller”. Even though I’ve actually already blogged about this location once before (way back in December of 2007 when…

Mary See’s Former House
‘ Another location that I was reminded of while taking the Scott’s L.A.

The Friends of Heaven Grief Retreat Hotel from “Dead to Me”
‘ You wouldn’t expect a show centered around grief to be funny. But the Netflix original Dead to Me, about the recently-widowed Jen Harding (Christina Applegate) and her new BFF Judy Hale (Linda Cardellini), whom she meets in the Laguna Beach chapter of the Friends of Heaven grief group, is downright hilarious!

Cameron’s Seafood from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ The restaurant business is an insanely fickle one. So when I set out to find the eatery where Diane Court (Ione Skye) lunched with her mom, Mrs. Court (Lois Chiles), and her mom’s boyfriend, Ray (Stephen Shortridge), in the 1989 flick Say Anything . . . a few years back, I never dreamed it…

Mike, from MovieShotsLA, Gets Up Close & Personal with the “Back to the Future” DeLorean
‘ This past Friday afternoon, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, had a definite “Only in L.A.” moment when he looked out of his office window and noticed the Back to the Future DeLorean parked in the lot outside! After having a minor heart attack, he flew right out of his seat and immediately ran outside to snap…

Jess’ House from “New Girl”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, my good friend/fellow stalker Lavonna asked me to track down the residence where Jess (Zooey Deschanel) lived prior to moving into the ultra-cool Binford Building on fave show New Girl. Jess’ former house only appeared once on the series, in the Season 1 episode titled “Kryptonite”, and thankfully I…

The Sand Acre Estate – Where Marilyn Monroe is Rumored to Have Vacationed
‘ A few weeks ago, while doing research on Seward Johnson’s “Forever Marilyn” statue, which I blogged about yesterday, I came across a press release posted on the Visit Palm Springs website and just about passed out over the mention of a desert-area MM location that I had never before heard of! The press release…

The Filming Locations of “Dawson’s Creek”
‘ Many, many moons ago, I began to compile what I call my “Stalking Bucket List” – a catalog of far-off filming locations that I would like to visit at some point during my lifetime. At the very top of that list is Wilmington, North Carolina, which masqueraded as the fictional “Capeside, Massachusetts” on one…
