  • The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    The “Shadow of a Doubt” House

    ‘ Sitting on a quiet corner on an idyllic street in Santa Rosa is a home with quite a scary movie pedigree.  Not only did the Italianate Victorian-style abode appear in a Hitchcock classic, the 1943 thriller Shadow of a Doubt, but in my favorite horror flick of all time, Scream!  (While the residence has…

  • The New Peach Pit

    The New Peach Pit

    ‘ Over the years there have been several locations used around LA for the filming of the Peach Pit on my fave TV show, Beverly Hills, 90210. And now there is one more location to add to the already long list. My buddy Mike over at MovieShotsLA gave me the scoop on last week’”‘”‘s filming…

  • Halloween

    Halloween

    ‘ Hi, my name is Lindsay Blake and I have never seen the movie . I know, I know – it’”‘”‘s like sacrilege or something, especially since Halloween is my favorite holiday. I’”‘”‘ve also never seen any of the movies. But I’”‘”‘ve always been kind of a scaredy cat, so as a teenager I was…

  • HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”

    ‘ Today’s location is a special request from my good friends Katie and Lavonna, who, in a group text, both suggested I blog about some sites from The Craft as part of my Haunted Hollywood postings.  Now the 1996 horror flick is not one of my favorites and its locales have been pretty well documented…

    The “Pretty Little Liars” Church

    ‘ Before we get started, I have a couple of announcements.  Some changes will be coming to the blog in 2016.  The biggest change will be a major site redesign, which the Grim Cheaper is currently working on and which I could NOT be more excited about.  You’”‘”‘ll notice I’”‘”‘ve altered my screen captures a…

    Louis B. Mayer’s Former House – The Birthplace of the Academy Awards

    ‘ Last week, the Grim Cheaper emailed me a fabulous Vanity Fair article about the genesis of the most iconic night in Hollywood – the Academy Awards. According to the blurb, in January 1927, legendary producer Louis B. Mayer was enjoying some idle conversation with friends Conrad Nagel and Fred Niblo at his beachfront home…

  • Michael Jackson’s Walk of Fame Star

    Michael Jackson’s Walk of Fame Star

    ‘ Still saddened by the sudden death of Michael Jackson, early yesterday afternoon I decided to pay my respects to the legendary pop star by visiting his Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  I thought I would post the pictures I took while there for those of you who do not live in the L.A. area and cannot visit…

  • Frank’s Coffee Shop and Restaurant from “Larry Crowne”

    Frank’s Coffee Shop and Restaurant from “Larry Crowne”

    ‘ A few days before Christmas, while I was wallowing in a horrible head cold, the Grim Cheaper and I sat down to watch the 2011 flick Larry Crowne. Neither of us had very high hopes for the movie as it had received such horrible reviews, but I am very happy to report that we…

  • The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    The “Sex and the City” McDonalds

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a fail and a lucky twist all in one.  My mom always says to trust in the universe – and she’s right.  Things happen for a reason.  This locale – easily one of my most-wanted ever – is proof of that.  I am a pretty simple girl when…
