  • The “Scream” Video Store

    The “Scream” Video Store

    ‘ Extremely nostalgic by nature, I was recently thinking about the demise of video stores and how many movies would suffer if made today because of it – movies like The Holiday, Clerks and, of course, Scream.  Without the scene set at Woodsboro’s local VHS rental spot in the latter, in which Randy Meeks (Jamie…

  • Opera on Ocean from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    Opera on Ocean from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ A couple of weeks ago, a fellow stalker named Gina reminded me of a Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead location that I had yet to blog about – Opera on Ocean, the Santa Monica restaurant where slime-ball Gus (John Getz) took Sue Ellen Crandell (Christina Applegate) for a lunch date in the 1991…

  • Monrovia High School from “A Cinderella Story”

    Monrovia High School from “A Cinderella Story”

    ‘ My taste in movies is about as mature and refined as my palate, which favors chicken strips and ranch dressing above all else.  Case in point – I am obsessed with the 2004 tween romance A Cinderella Story.  Chad Michael Murray?  Hilary Duff on roller skates?  A high school love story?  A pink ‘50s…

  • Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    Nuart Theatre from “Foul Play”

    ‘ I was hesitant to include today’s locale in with my Haunted Hollywood postings being that the Nuart Theatre is neither haunted nor a horror movie location, per se.  But the small arthouse venue did cameo in one of my favorite thrillers/comedies – 1978’s Foul Play – as the site of a murder, no less,…

  • Hanging Out With the Cast of “Cougar Town”

    Hanging Out With the Cast of “Cougar Town”

    ‘ This past Wednesday night, fellow stalker and celebrity enthusiast Pinky Lovejoy, of the Thinking Pink blog, invited me to join her in doing a little stalking of a Cougar Town event in North Hollywood, which I could NOT have been more excited about as I am a HUGE fan of the show.  Pennnnnnnny Caaaaaaaaaaan,…

  • Echo Park

    Echo Park

    ‘ One location that I have wanted to stalk ever since June 2012, when I wrote my post about MacArthur Park from New Girl (which you can read here), was the similar-looking Echo Park in L.A.’s Echo Park neighborhood.  Sadly though, my efforts were thwarted for over a year due to an extensive restoration project…

  • Visiting L.A.

    ‘ I have been in L.A. the past few days doing some stalking and visiting friends and therefore have not been able to write any new blog posts.  I will be back next week, though, so until that time, Happy Stalking!  🙂 ‘

  • Kung Pao China Bistro from “The Office”

    Kung Pao China Bistro from “The Office”

    ‘ Last Thursday night’s episode of The Office which was titled “The Search” was hands-down one of my all-time favorite episodes of the series ever!  I absolutely LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!  So, when fellow stalker Owen sent me an email the following day which listed all of the locations featured in it, I just about…

  • Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    Donna Martin, Rose Princess

    ‘ When I first moved to Los Angeles about eight years ago, one of the very first items on my stalking agenda was to visit the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Headquarters. I wanted to sign up for their annual Rose Court Pageant just like Donna Martin did in the Season 6 episode of 90210 entitled…

  • Aroma Coffee & Tea Company in Studio City

    Aroma Coffee & Tea Company in Studio City

    ‘ As I mentioned in Monday’s post, despite my drama-filled day on Friday, this past weekend actually turned out to be pretty darn nice.  It all started with a Saturday morning stalking trip out to Studio City’s Aroma Coffee & Tea Company, which I had read about the previous week while doing some online research…
