    The Guesthouse Hotel from “National Lampoon’s Vacation”

    ‘ Once fellow stalker Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, tracked down the Town House Motel from National Lampoon’s Vacation (which I blogged about here) a couple of weeks back, he set about trying to find the hexagon-shaped pool where Clark W. Griswold (Chevy Chase) went skinny dipping with The Girl in the…

    Martin Weir’s Mansion from “Get Shorty”

    ‘ While out and about stalking in Beverly Hills two weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me on a minor detour to see the mansion where movie star Martin Weir (Danny DeVito) lived in the 1995 comedy Get Shorty.  I LOVE the scene that took place at Martin’s pad, so I was beyond excited to…

  • More Dog!

    More Dog!

    ‘ Finally I am back online – with another Dog post. I swear, I was about ready to throw my stupid computer off the lanai I was so annoyed with the internet problems. LOL With getting bumped off the internet constantly, I literally think I have spent about three hours trying to complete this post.…

  • The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    The Former Site of the “Doogie Howser, M.D.” House

    ‘ This past (dismal and dreary) Sunday afternoon, after stalking the Jack & Jill house, which I blogged about on Tuesday, I dragged the Grim Cheaper a few blocks south to stalk a location that I had been wanting to see in person for years – the Howser residence, where teenage prodigy Dr. Doogie Howser…

    Merv Griffin’s Former House – and Some Big News!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper and I had a fabulous time in Palm Springs last week celebrating Thanksgiving with my parents – so much so that we have decided to move there permanently!  We have been seriously considering a move to the Desert for a few months now, but finally decided to pull the trigger while…

  • 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 Old School House

    The Old School House

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out stalking, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to pay a little visit to the house where Luke Wilson lived and set up his fictional Lamdba Epsilon Omega fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  The house is located on a quiet, tree-lined street that has long been a favorite of location scouts.   South Pasadena’”‘”‘s Bushnell…

    Touring the WB Ranch

    ‘ My good friends Lavonna and Kim are in town this week visiting from Ohio and we spent all day yesterday touring various studios, including one of my personal favorites – the Warner Bros. Ranch.  So I, unfortunately, did not have time to write a new post for today.  But I will be back tomorrow…

  • The Bedtime Stories House

    The Bedtime Stories House

    ‘ Got a challenge last week from fellow stalker Owen who wanted me to find Courteney Cox‘”‘”‘s house from the 2008 movie Bedtime Stories.   And even though I had yet to see the movie, I was actually in luck with this challenge as one of my acting classmates had worked as a production assistant on the Adam Sandler flick.  …

  • Thornton’s Mansion from “Back to School”

    Thornton’s Mansion from “Back to School”

    ‘ Even though I am a definite child of the ‘80s, for whatever reason I had never seen the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield classic Back to School until late last year.  I wound up loving the flick and immediately started researching its locations.  I covered a few of them in a September post for Los Angeles…
