  • 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…

  • The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    The Waterfront Beach Resort from “Rosewood”

    ‘ It is such a shame when a favorite show jumps the shark.  If its latest episode, titled “Amparo & the American Dream,” is any indication, that fate seems to have befallen Rosewood, the FOX procedural currently in its second season.  While I was all in with the recent storyline centering around Captain Ryan Slade…

  • Taking the Day Off

    Taking the Day Off

    ‘ Because I spent all day Friday taking care of my dad, who was not feeling well, and the rest of the weekend at the Hyatt Huntington Beach (pictured above), the spot which stands in for the new Beverly Hills Beach Club on fave show 90210, I was unfortunately not able to write a new…

  • The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    The Los Feliz “Murder House”

    ‘ I can honestly say that out of all of the locations that I have ever stalked in my entire life, the subject of today’s post is hands down the most perplexing and mind-boggling!  Last week, when I called up Mike, from MovieShotsLA, to tell him that Geoff, from the 90210locations website, had tracked down…

  • The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    The Wormwood Home from “Matilda”

    ‘ Every time I open up Instagram lately I’m inundated with videos of the so-called “Matilda Challenge.”  For those whose feeds haven’t been flooded by the clips, in the challenge fans of the 1996 film re-create this scene in which Matilda Wormwood (Mara Wilson) perfects her magic powers.  Though I’ve never seen the movie (or…

  • The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”

    The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”

    ‘ Ah, how I love creepy old houses.  Horror flicks?  Not so much.  Which is strange, I know, being that I am such a fan of Halloween, all things scary, and movies in general.  I do absolutely love horror films that are done well, though (hello, Scream!), but find that the vast majority are pretty…

  • The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    The “All of My Heart” Farmhouse

    ‘ It seems that every time I turn around lately, I come across someone who is obsessed with Hallmark Channel made-for-television movies. First it was my grandma, who couldn’t stop talking about them at Christmas.  Around that same time, I started hearing about the flicks from my uncle’s girlfriend, who binge-watches them like crazy, much…

  • The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    The Nite Owl Coffee Shop from “L.A. Confidential”

    ‘ I have to apologize in advance for today’s post as it is going to be a short one.  My best friend came to visit me this weekend and we spent all of Friday, Saturday, and Sunday doing wedding planning which, unfortunately, left me with no time for blogging.  🙁  I promise to write a…

  • The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    ‘ Another Fracture filming location that I recently stalked – without actually realizing it – was the Standard Hotel’s Rooftop Bar in Downtown L.A.  I say “without actually realizing it” because at the time I stalked the place I had no idea it was a filming location.   I ended up there while on the way…

  • The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    The Skyline Residence – Jacob’s House from “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”

    ‘ Back in August, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brandon who wanted to let me know that he had tracked down the ultra-modern abode where Jacob Palmer (aka Ryan Gosling) lived in Crazy, Stupid, Love.  At the time I had yet to see the movie, but added the address to my…
