  • The Pasadena Playhouse

    The Pasadena Playhouse

    ‘ My boyfriend and I happened to walk past the Pasadena Playhouse this past weekend, and I just had to walk inside to stalk it. 🙂 The Pasadena Playhouse, although not a filming location, is one of the oldest and most distinguished community theatres in the US. The Playhouse has hosted hundreds of notable actors…

  • The “American Horror Story” House

    The “American Horror Story” House

    ‘ Last week, fellow stalker Owen sent me an email with a tip, as well as this Curbed LA article, about a Haunted-Hollywood-type location that he thought I might be interested in stalking – the imposing brick and marble abode which figures as the focal point of the new television series American Horror Story.  And…

  • The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”

    The Historic Mayfair Hotel from “The Office”

    ‘ Fellow stalker John Bengtson, from the SIlent Locations blog, sent me an email last week after reading my post on Red Studios Hollywood from The Artist (a location that I had learned about from his website) informing me that he had tracked down some locales from Season 7’s “The Search” episode of The Office…

  • Pappa Don’s Delicatessen from “Modern Family”

    Pappa Don’s Delicatessen from “Modern Family”

    ‘ I must apologize in advance for the length of today’s post.  I spent most of my day yesterday at the Walk of Fame star ceremony for American Idol creator Simon Fuller – an event which I will be writing about later this week – and therefore did not have time to write a very…

    ‘ First, let me just say how happy I am that Britney apparently survived Starbucks three hour closure today! It’”‘”‘s truly a minor miracle!! Anyway, on with the post . . . This past December while on vacation in New York, I happened to walk by a building that I immediately recognized as the “Poise”…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

  • Laurie Strode’s House from “Halloween”

    Laurie Strode’s House from “Halloween”

    ‘ A couple of months ago, fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, clued me into an INCREDIBLY cool little bit of Haunted Hollywood stalking information that I had not been previously aware of.  Apparently, the real life owners of the home that stood in for the Strode residence in the 1978 classic…

  • Rockhaven Sanitarium

    Rockhaven Sanitarium

    ‘ Back in early September, while doing research on filming locations in Montrose, I came across this 2011 Crescenta Valley Weekly article about a vacant former mental institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium.  My interest was immediately piqued, of course (y’all know how much this stalker LOVES herself some abandoned properties), and I thought the site would…

    New Scene It Before Post – About the “Saved by the Bell” School

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out today’s Los Angeles magazine post – about Ulysses S. Grant High School from Saved by the Bell.  You can read it here.  My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

  • The Athenian Inn from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Athenian Inn from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ Another location at the very top of my Must-Stalk-While-in-the-Pacific-Northwest list was the Athenian Inn Seafood Restaurant and Bar, which made a brief, but quite memorable appearance in the 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle.  I had been absolutely dying to stalk the restaurant for what seemed like years for a couple of reasons.  One,…
