    ‘ As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, fellow stalker E.J., from The Movieland Directory website, recently published an e-book about Old Hollywood titled Unscripted: Hollywood Back-Stories, Volume 1 (which you can purchase on Nook here and on Kindle here).  I read the entire tome – which was fascinating, by the way – in…

  • The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”

    The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”

    ‘ Ah, how I love creepy old houses.  Horror flicks?  Not so much.  Which is strange, I know, being that I am such a fan of Halloween, all things scary, and movies in general.  I do absolutely love horror films that are done well, though (hello, Scream!), but find that the vast majority are pretty…

  • The Formosa Cafe

    The Formosa Cafe

    ‘ This past weekend I dragged my boyfriend out to West Hollywood to grab drinks at a Los Angeles staple that I had yet to stalk – the legendary Formosa Cafe. The small cafe, located on the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Formosa Avenue in West Hollywood, was opened up in 1925 by former…

    Afeni Shakur’s House from “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & the Notorious B.I.G.”

    ‘ I am unnaturally obsessed with pretty much all things southern – southern accents (what I wouldn’t give for a slow, lilting twang!), homemade fried chicken, and large plantation-style houses, among many others.  So I, of course, immediately fixated on the huge columned estate where Afeni Shakur (Sola Bamis) lived on Unsolved: The Murders of…

  • The “Beaches” Mansion

    The “Beaches” Mansion

    ‘ One location that I have been asked about repeatedly ever since I first started my blog almost four years ago (and I CANNOT even believe that it has been that long!!!) is the large Tudor-style mansion where Hillary Whitney Essex (aka Barbara Hershey) lived in the 1988 tearjerker Beaches.  And while it had long…

    The River Oasis Cafe from “Beautiful Girls”

    ‘ Another Stillwater, Minnesota location that my family and I stalked last week was the River Oasis Cafe from fave movie Beautiful Girls.  And I’m really hoping that my fellow stalkers are not yet sick of reading about Beautiful Girls locations, ‘cause there are still quite a few of them that I’ve yet to blog…

    ‘ After watching the Season 4 episodes of fave show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills titled “Palm Spring Breakers” and “Escape to Bitch Mountain,” I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down Colony 29, the sprawling enclave where the Housewives stayed during their brief desert visit.  Fortunately, it wasn’t a tough find thanks…
