  • Pico House from “My Sister Sam”

    Pico House from “My Sister Sam”

    ‘ The name of my blog is (obviously) meant in jest.  I always feel a pang of guilt over having chosen it, though, when I think about Rebecca Schaeffer, the young actress who was gunned down in her doorway by a deranged stalker at the tender age of 21 in 1989.  My grandma and I…

  • Pete’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    Pete’s House from “Bridesmaids”

    ‘ Speaking of Cameron Woods (in case you missed Monday’s post, you can read it here) . . . while wandering around the neighborhood recently I was reminded of a spot that I stalked long ago but had yet to blog about – the house belonging to Pete (Brian Petsos) in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids.  …

  • Dionne’s House From “Clueless”

    Dionne’s House From “Clueless”

    ‘ One location that I have been searching for for what seems like forever is the huge castle-like abode where Cher’s (aka Alicia Silverstone’s) best friend Dionne (aka Stacey Dash) lived in one of my all time favorite comedies, 1995’s Clueless.   Since I had been trying to track down the home for years and had…

  • Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    Dan Aykroyd’s Former Haunted House

    ‘ Another spooky locale that I learned about thanks to fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, and his fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the longtime home of Ghostbuster Dan Aykroyd and his wife, actress Donna Dixon.  The residence piqued my interest due to Aykroyd’s claim of numerous hauntings taking place there…

  • Another Little Break!

    Another Little Break!

    ‘ I will be taking another little break this week – this time to (hopefully) recharge my batteries, which unfortunately did not end up happening during my time off earlier this month as there was just way too much going on, and to begin a new project which I am very excited about. And I…

  • The Ansonia from “Single White Female”

    The Ansonia from “Single White Female”

    ‘ There is no shortage of strikingly beautiful, ornately embellished buildings on New York’s Upper West Side.  I blogged about one of them, The Apthorp, and the circuitous route some friends and I took to stalk it on Friday.  That route included a stop at another gorgeous UWS structure, The Ansonia, easily one of the…

  • High Tower from “Dead Again”

    High Tower from “Dead Again”

    ‘ I did not see Dead Again when it was first released in 1991 (at 14, I was too young for such an intense thriller), but I vividly remember my parents coming home from the theatre raving about how great it was and how much I would have loved a particularly disturbing scene involving cigarettes. …

  • The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    The Blair House Inn from “Murder, She Wrote”

    ‘ Way back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Jenny who wanted to know if I had ever stalked Mendocino’s Blair House Inn – a quaint little Victorian bed and breakfast better known as Jessica Fletcher’s (aka Angela Lansbury’s) residence on the long-running television series Murder, She Wrote.  And, amazingly…

  • Mike, from MovieShotsLA, Gets Up Close & Personal with the “Back to the Future” DeLorean

    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…

  • Susan Berman’s Former House

    Susan Berman’s Former House

    ‘ One location that has confused me for years is the cottage where writer Susan Berman was murdered in 2000 – so much so that despite stalking it back in August 2015, I have put off blogging about it until now.  I first learned of the locale from the hit HBO docuseries The Jinx: The…
