  • The “Biggest Loser” Ranch

    The “Biggest Loser” Ranch

    ‘ This past weekend, I dragged my boyfriend out to Calabasas to stalk the King Gillette Ranch, otherwise known as The Biggest Loser  Ranch.  I found this location thanks to the couple we met while stalking the Adamson House a few weeks back.   Our new friends, who just recently got engaged, have been traipsing all over the Los Angeles…

  • “Smoke Gets In Your CSIs”

    “Smoke Gets In Your CSIs”

    ‘ A few months ago while doing some cyberstalking, I came across this fabulous blog post about a photographer named Rob Greer who was lucky enough to have my fave show CSI: Miami  film right in his studio.  So, of course, I just had to stalk the place.  🙂  Especially since the episode which was filmed at…

    Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ Never in a million years did I think that the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, one of my all-time favorite movies, would provide me with a Haunted Hollywood posting, but it did!  In July 2014, a reader named Frank Vollhardt wrote a comment on my post about the DTMTBD house alerting…

    The “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” Wrap Party

    ‘ Two weekends ago, Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, invited me and the Grim Cheaper to do a little stalking of the wrap party for the hit ABC television series Extreme Makeover: Home Edition at a venue in Culver City.  The GC was not at all happy to receive Pinky’s invite, of course,…

  • The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ I was devastated to learn back in early 2010, thanks to fellow stalker Amanda, that The All American Burger on Sunset Boulevard, which masqueraded as Clown Dog restaurant in 1991’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, was being turned into a Chipotle Mexican Grill.  I never expected that the historic eatery was going to…

  • The 90210 Pilot Church

    The 90210 Pilot Church

    ‘ A few days ago I sent Mike, from MovieShotsLA, a screen capture of the church featured in the pilot episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. I had a hunch he might know where it was located – and, sure enough, he did! He immediately called me and said “That’”‘”‘s the Spiderman church!” as it was…

  • The “Black Sheep” House

    The “Black Sheep” House

    ‘ Another location that Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I stalked last Monday afternoon was the supposed Buckley, Washington-area home where Mike Donnelly (aka Chris Farley) lived in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.  Fellow stalker Owen tracked down this location – along with pretty much every other locale which appeared in the movie – quite a…

  • Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”

    Arnold’s Turtle – The Inspiration for Central Perk on “Friends”

    ‘ It appears that my posts have been heavy on filming location inspiration as of late.  On Friday, I blogged about the Annie orphanage and the two buildings that it was modeled after.  And here I am today with another spot that served as inspiration – this one Arnold’s Turtle Vegetarian Café, the eatery that…

  • Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!

    Samantha’s Meatpacking Digs!

    ‘ Yet another New York location that Mike, God of Stalking, found for me is the new apartment Samantha moves into early in the third season of Sex and the City. This same apartment was featured throughout the end of the series’”‘”‘ six season run. And I absolutely could not figure out its exact location.…
