    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,…

    The Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel

    ‘ While in Catalina this past week, as much as I wanted to stay at the Pavilion Lodge, my family instead opted to book a room at a little place called the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel.  And even though it’”‘”‘s never been a filming location, because the hotel was once the private residence of world-renowned author…
