  • The “Mask” House

    The “Mask” House

    ‘ While I realize that I still have quite a few posts to publish from my recent stalking trip to the Palmdale/Lancaster area (including the Four Aces and Club Ed movie sets), as well as a few filming-related posts to write from my nuptials last August (most notably the venue), I decided to dedicate today’s…

  • Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave

    Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave

    ‘ Way back in September 2011, while the Grim Cheaper and I were out and about doing some stalking in the San Fernando Valley area, we happened to drive past Antonio’s Pizzeria and the GC suggested that we pop in.  He had dined at Antonio’s several times in the past and remembered that the place…

  • Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    ‘ Last Saturday, after stalking the Venice exterior of O’Hara’s Pub from Bad Santa (which I blogged about here), the Grim Cheaper and I decided to walk around Abbot Kinney Boulevard for a bit.  At one point during our stroll, we passed by a corner coffee shop named Abbot’s Habit and I recognized it immediately…

  • The “Lights Out” House

    The “Lights Out” House

    ‘ “Lights Out Cast Accidentally Cursed the House Where they Filmed.”  So blared a headline from an Entertainment Weekly article about the 2016 horror film.  As you can imagine, the words had me drooling.  I first learned about the movie back in January from fellow stalker “sparklesnow” who left a comment on one of my…

  • The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ While perusing through my extensive backlog of stalking photographs recently, I realized that there were a few L.A. Story locales that I had yet to blog about, one of which was the former site of KCET Studios in Los Feliz, where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) worked in the 1991 comedy.  I had actually…

  • The Envelope Emmy Week “Mad Men” Screening

    The Envelope Emmy Week “Mad Men” Screening

    ‘ Ever since fellow stalker Mikey, from the Mike the Fanboy website, invited me to be his plus-one for the SAG screening/cast Q & A of the FX television series Justified back in late May, I have been all about attending similar-type events.  So when he told me about an Envelope Emmy Week screening/roundtable of…

  • Downey Studios from “Christmas with the Kranks”

    Downey Studios from “Christmas with the Kranks”

    ‘ Back in early 2011, while doing some research on filming locations from Christmas with the Kranks, I just about fell off my chair when I discovered – thanks to Google Street View – that the backlot residential street at Downey Studios, which served as the main neighborhood in the 2004 comedy, was visible from…

  • The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    The “Christmas Vacation” Pool

    ‘ Another Christmas-themed locale that I had long wanted to track down and stalk was Clark W. Griswold’s (Chevy Chase’s) dream pool from the 1989 classic Christmas Vacation.  (Is it odd, by the way, that I can still remember exactly where I was and who I was with the first time I saw the flick…

  • Cary Grant’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    Cary Grant’s Former Palm Springs Estate

    ‘ Another Cary Grant location (and I promise that this is the last of them for a while for those who are hoping for a change of pace) that the Grim Cheaper and I stalked while vacationing in the Palm Springs area two weekends ago was the “Cary Grant Estate”, aka “Las Palomas”, the Andalusian-style,…

  • Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    Abbey San Encino from “Dexter”

    ‘ As I have mentioned several times before on this blog, I absolutely cannot watch an episode of fave show Dexter without having my iPad next to me and a web-browser open to the Seeing Stars website’s extensive Dexter filming locations page.  And this season has been no different.  While watching the episode titled “Once…
