  • 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 Blind Donkey from “Revenge”

    The Blind Donkey from “Revenge”

    ‘ I stalk so many places, typically in quick succession, that oftentimes a few get lost in the shuffle.  Such was the case with The Blind Donkey, an Old Town Pasadena whiskey bar that I visited back in April, shortly before the Grim Cheaper and I headed off to New York, and then promptly forgot…

    Blair Waldorf’s Gossip Girl Apartment Building

    ‘ Well, it must be Gossip Girl week here at Iamnotastalker.com because here I am once again blogging about yet another location from the ubiquitous CW series.  While in New York two weeks ago, one of the locales at the very top of my stalking list was the Upper East Side building where Queen Bee…

  • Dale’s Party House from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    Dale’s Party House from “St. Elmo’s Fire”

    ‘ If stalking is my number one love, organizing ranks a close second.  This weekend, I went full-on Monica Geller with all of my filming location spreadsheets and it. was. glorious.  Not only did the process give me hours upon hours of enjoyment, but it made me realize how many sites remain sitting in my…

  • Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House

    Cary and Jennifer Grant’s Former House

    ‘ As I mentioned last month, back on May 28th I attended the Jennifer Grant book signing for Good Stuff, the actress’ newly-penned memoir about her late father, movie star Cary Grant.  Well, I finally finished reading the tome last weekend and I can honestly say that it is one of the best books I…

  • The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    The Western Union Office from “The Sting”

    ‘ History in Los Angeles hides in the most unsuspecting of places.  Back in 2013, I stalked a small edifice at 118 Winston Street in downtown L.A. that portrayed a Western Union office in the 1973 caper classic The Sting.  I learned of the non-descript property via The Movie Tourist Blog and was thrilled at…

  • The Former Site of Mulholland Farm

    The Former Site of Mulholland Farm

    ‘ Another locale that fellow stalker E.J., of The Movieland Directory, mentioned in Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites was the spot where Mulholland Farm – the former home of actor Errol Flynn – once stood.  And while I knew next to nothing about Flynn at the time I read the book, the blurb caught my…

  • Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”

    ‘ I am pretty sure Penny Marshall had some sort of direct line of sight into my soul.  The late director was behind several of my most beloved films.  And not just movies I enjoy, but ones I find incredibly poignant, moving and enduring – productions that left a mark on my heart and invariably…

  • Huron Substation from “NCIS: New Orleans”

    Huron Substation from “NCIS: New Orleans”

    ‘ I have been a fan of the television show NCIS ever since it premiered in 2003.  While I never got into its 2009 spin-off, NCIS: LA, the Grim Cheaper and I recently caught the backdoor pilots for the series’ most recent offshoot, NCIS: New Orleans, and absolutely loved them.  I was also thrilled while…
