  • Book Soup from “Bewitched”

    Book Soup from “Bewitched”

    ‘ I am a total bookstore junkie – as I’ve mentioned numerous times on this site.  The rest of the world seems to be leaning in the opposite direction, though.  Still I was shocked – and saddened – to learn of the recent shuttering of the Barnes & Noble on the Third Street Promenade in…

    If You Two Ever Have Kids and One of Them Accidentally Sets Fire to the Living Room Rug . . .

    ‘ My family and I were supposed to take the red eye home from Hawaii on Wednesday night, but en route to the airport we decided to turn in our tickets and stay a few more days. LOL It was a totally spur of the moment thing and SO MUCH FUN! I can’”‘”‘t even believe…

  • The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    The “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” Park

    ‘ Today’s post was a true labor of love – one that required stalking a location three separate times and a massive amount of help from a fellow stalker named Michael.  While most of the locales from the 1985 movie Girls Just Want to Have Fun (one of my all-time faves) have been tracked down…

  • Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    Los Angeles County Hall of Records

    ‘ Today’s location is a serious fail on my part.  For a couple of years now, I have had the Los Angeles County Hall of Records on my Haunted Hollywood To-Stalk list, not due to its filming history, but because I mistakenly thought the building was where Marilyn Monroe’s autopsy was performed in 1962.  I…

  • The Bates Motel

    The Bates Motel

    ‘ Today’s location would be better suited for a Haunted Hollywood post, but because it is set to be torn down by the end of the year, I figured time was of the essence.  While spending the week in L.A. last month with my good buddies Kim and Katie (that’s Katie pictured above), a friend…

  • The Inside of the Walsh House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    The Inside of the Walsh House from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ Last Friday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I set out to do a little Pasadena stalking. Who knew that our day would hold the stalking adventure to end all stalking adventures! Even as I sit here, days later, writing these words, I am pinching myself, unsure if the whole thing even really happened. But since…

  • Pat’s Topanga Grill from “Medium”

    Pat’s Topanga Grill from “Medium”

    ‘ Way back in December, after stalking the Topanga Canyon house where Paula (Sissy Spacek) lived in the 2008 Yuletide comedy Four Christmases (which I blogged about here), the Grim Cheaper and I passed by Pat’s Topanga Grill and decided to pop in for some breakfast. Because the GC always likes to joke that businesses…

  • The British Consulate from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    The British Consulate from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ Much of my free time as of late has been spent tracking down missing locations from Jumpin’ Jack Flash.  Ever since writing my post on the apartment where Terry Dolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) lived in the 1986 comedy, I have been just a wee bit consumed with finding other spots featured in the flick.  So…

  • Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory

    Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory

    ‘ A couple of months ago, while doing research on locations for my Haunted Hollywood postings, I came across some online images of Evergreen Memorial Park & Crematory in Boyle Heights and practically started drooling over the place’s fabulously haunting chapel.  Then when I learned that the cemetery had been featured in the 1980 horror…

  • Police Doubt Fire . . .

    Police Doubt Fire . . .

    ‘ One of my favorite movie lines of all time is “It was a run-by fruiting!” from Mrs. Doubtfire – Robin William says the line to Pierce Brosnan after throwing a piece of fruit at his head at the local pool. LOL So, this weekend, the Mrs. Doubtfire house was on my must-see list of…
