  • The California Colonic Institution from “L.A. Story”

    The California Colonic Institution from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ When I began my search for all of the missing L.A Story locations a few weeks back, I emailed about a million-and-a-half screen captures to fellow stalker Mike, from MovieShotsLA, in the hopes that he would be so inclined to help me out with the hunt.  Thankfully, he was.  One locale that we found…

  • Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    Henry’s House from “Selfie”

    ‘ I was saddened to learn recently that both Selfie and A to Z – two of my favorite new shows of the fall season – had been cancelled.  If How to Get Away with Murder winds up on the chopping block next, the networks will be receiving a very strongly worded letter from me! …

  • A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    A Tour of Rockhaven Sanitarium

    ‘ Well, here it is – my final Haunted Hollywood post of 2014.  Sad day!    Last September, I stalked an abandoned mental health institution named Rockhaven Sanitarium where Marilyn Monroe’s mother, Gladys Baker Eley, spent almost a decade and a half of her life.  Due to the fact that the place was gated and…

  • The “Party of Five” House

    The “Party of Five” House

    ‘ Sunday night I returned home from my bachelorette party weekend, which turned out to be a surprise Sex and the City-themed soiree thrown up north in San Francisco.  Needless to say, I was absolutely FLOORED about it.  🙂  The celebration was, of course, held at a filming location, so I will, of course, be…

  • Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    Kirk Douglas’ Former Palm Springs House

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I are finally home from a blissful two weeks in Switzerland. It was so hard to leave my best friend and his amazing family (pictured above) and the beauty of their country – especially being that when we returned to Palm Springs, temperatures were around 122 degrees! I will be…

  • The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    The Piru Creek Bridge from “Burlesque”

    ‘ Another location that the Grim Cheaper and I visited this past weekend while doing some stalking in the Heritage Valley was the Union Pacific Railroad Piru Creek Bridge which stood in for the supposed Iowa-area bridge that Ali (aka Christina Aguilera) walked across during the opening scene of Burlesque.  I once again found this…

  • Bookstar from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    Bookstar from “Beverly Hills, 90210”

    ‘ I have certainly been revisiting the past lately, as evidenced here, here, and here.  Maybe it has something to do with nostalgia hitting me after our recent move.  Whatever the reason, here I am yet again with yet another redux.  Today’s locale is a favorite, one that I originally covered in May 2008 –…

  • Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”

    Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”

    ‘ Way back in April, after stalking the talking road condition sign location from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) and Malibu Hindu Temple from Beverly Hills Ninja (which I blogged about here), Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to the Tarzana-area house where Heather Langenkamp (who played herself) lived with her husband, Chase Porter…

  • The Central Park Boathouse – Where Carrie and Big Went Swimming

    The Central Park Boathouse – Where Carrie and Big Went Swimming

    ‘ One of my very favorite episodes of (oh, who am I kidding – every episode is my favorite episode!) was the Season Three Finale when Carrie decides, after much deliberation and a big fight with Miranda, to meet Mr. Big for lunch. Just before the lunch, Carrie promises Miranda that no matter what happens…

  • The Friday the 13th Premiere

    The Friday the 13th Premiere

    ‘ Hollywood rolled out the black carpet last night (and yes it really was black!) for the world premiere of the new horror film remake Friday the 13th – and amazingly, I got to be a part of it! My good friend Blaze Foster is obsessed with the Friday the 13th movie franchise and wanted…
