    Oliver’s House from “A Lot Like Love”

    ‘ A Lot Like Love is a movie I can’t not watch.  Even though I’ve seen it at least a dozen times and own the DVD, if I happen to catch it on TV, need to scan through it for a post, or it pops up in my Netflix recommendations, I’m pretty much viewing it…

    Everybody Loves A Stalker!

    ‘ This weekend I dragged my boyfriend to the Beverly Hills Hotel on the pretense of having a drink at one of our favorite bars – The Polo Lounge – but the real reason for our outing was so that I could pick up the 2008 version of my favorite LA star map – the…

    The “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” House

    ‘ has long been one of my favorite movies.

  • Happy Halloween!

    ‘ I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy Halloween!  The Grim Cheaper and I were away all weekend celebrating the holiday with one of our best friends in San Diego, so I do not have a new post for today, unfortunately.  And my grandma is currently in town visiting…

    Rose Towers from “CSI: Cyber”

    ‘ Spanish-style courtyard apartment complexes are my jam (as evidenced here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).  One that I became especially enamored of a little over a year ago was the pink-hued building where Tristan Jenkins (fave actor Matt Lanter) lived on the Season 2 episode of CSI: Cyber titled “Corrupted Memory.”  While…

    Marilyn Monroe’s Childhood Home

    ‘ One location that had been on my To-Stalk list for what seemed like ages was the Hawthorne-area home where my girl Miss Marilyn Monroe spent the first eight-and-a-half years of her life.  Fellow stalker Lavonna had texted me the address years ago, but because I so rarely find myself in that neck of the…

    Annie’s House from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    ‘ We all have those movies – the ones that affected us so much upon first viewing, they left a lasting imprint on our hearts.  Sleepless in Seattle is one such movie for me.  As I mentioned in this 2010 post about the houseboat from the 1993 romcom, I still remember exactly where I was…

    Anoakia Mansion from “Doppelganger”

    ‘ There’s no denying that Doppelganger is a pretty horrible movie.  But part of the fun of the Halloween season is watching ridiculously terrible horror flicks from years past – and stalking their locations, of course.  I had long been on the hunt for the psychiatric institution from the 1993 thriller and was given a…
