Woodbury University from “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”
‘ Today’s locale, Woodbury University, was originally going to be included in this year’s Haunted Hollywood postings.

Pete Duel’s Former House
‘ Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. That adage rings true for today’s story, about actor Pete Duel who shot and killed himself at his Hollywood Hills home in the early morning hours of New Year’s Eve 1971. I had Duel’s address written down in the Haunted Hollywood portion of…

John Adams Middle School from “Heathers”
‘ The Grim Cheaper is a celebrity magnet. Literally everywhere he goes, he runs into someone famous. It’s maddening because 90% of these encounters occur when I am not with him.

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…

Church of the Angels
‘ A few weeks ago, my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry, who was a HUGE fan of the show Knots Landing during her high school years, set about to locate the church where the characters Joshua and Cathy got married in the Sixth Season episode of the series entitled “For Better, For Worse”. And it wasn’”‘”‘t…

The Open Houses from “Hidden Away”
‘ I know what you’re probably thinking after reading today’s title – she sure has stalked a lot of locations from a movie she professes not to have liked. And you’re right. But what can I say? The fact that there are filming locales in my current hometown that have yet to be unearthed is…
