The All American Burger from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”
‘ I was devastated to learn back in early 2010, thanks to fellow stalker Amanda, that The All American Burger on Sunset Boulevard, which masqueraded as Clown Dog restaurant in 1991’s Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, was being turned into a Chipotle Mexican Grill. I never expected that the historic eatery was going to…

Where You Are Almost Guaranteed A Britney Sighting!
‘ Ever since she shimmied down a hallway in her video (which was filmed entirely at Venice High School, by the way) I have been obsessed with BritBrit. I can’”‘”‘t tell you how many times I have dressed up as Britney for Halloween! And I was even an extra in the Britney Spears movie! Nowadays Britney…

The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”
‘ One locale that I came across (thanks to an article on Amoeblog) while doing research for my 2012 Haunted Hollywood posts was the former Cobb Estate in Altadena, the gates of which appeared in the 1979 cult horror film Phantasm.

Cordelia’s Apartment Building from “Angel”

The Smoke House Restaurant – Where Jim and Pam Held Their Rehearsal Dinner on “The Office”
‘ This past weekend, while out doing some Christmas shopping with the Grim Cheaper, the two of us found ourselves in the Burbank area absolutely ravenous. For whatever reason, though, I could not think of a good place to eat, so the GC suggested we grab a bite at that “old Burbank restaurant across from…

The “Pretty Woman” Opera House
‘ Today’s locale is one that I have been trying to track down for over a year and a half now – ever since discovering that pretty much every other location website out there had gotten it wrong. I am talking about the exterior of the supposed San Francisco opera house featured in the 1990…

The “Twins” Mansion
‘ Another day, another Twins location. 🙂 Unbelievably, before writing my post about the Twins house yesterday, I had yet to actually see the movie. For some reason, even though we own a copy of it on DVD, I had never sat down to watch it. Until yesterday, that is. But, as often happens to me when watching a movie for the…

The Plaza Hotel – New York’s Most Exciting Hotel Experience?
‘ One New York building that I have long been wanting to stalk is the famed Plaza Hotel – a location that was referred to in Home Alone 2: Lost In New York as “New York’”‘”‘s most exciting hotel experience”. During my first trip to the Big Apple, in December of 2005, the Plaza was…
