  • 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 Matchstick Men House

    The Matchstick Men House

    ‘ Another location I dragged my fiance to while in Venice last weekend was the house used in the 2003 movie Matchstick Men.  I found this spot thanks to fellow stalker Chas, who made it his mission to find EVERY SINGLE Matchstick Men location in the L.A. area.  And find them all, he did!  Chas’ entire…

  • Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which you can read here), in the Spring of 1942, Alfred Hitchcock, his wife, Alma, and their daughter, Pat, moved out of their first Los Angeles-area home (a Bel Air rental that was previously lived in by Carole Lombard) and into a new one, which they purchased, that…

  • The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions from “A Perfect Murder”

    The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions from “A Perfect Murder”

    ‘ For someone who is so well-versed in all things movie-related, I know very little about Old Hollywood – a fact my mom often admonishes me for.  Case in point – though A Perfect Murder has long been a favorite thriller, I have never seen Dial M for Murder, the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock masterpiece from…

  • Houses from “Life in Pieces”

    Houses from “Life in Pieces”

    ‘ Today’s post is once again brought to you by my friend, fellow stalker Michael (you can read his other fabulous guest columns here, here, here and here).  As was the case yesterday, this article is, surprisingly, not about a The Brady Bunch location.  Take it away, Michael! Each fall I’m always excited as the…

  • My “Sex and the City” Bachelorette Party

    My “Sex and the City” Bachelorette Party

    ‘ As I mentioned in Tuesday’s blog, this past weekend I headed up to Northern California to celebrate my final days of singlehood with a bachelorette party in San Francisco.  My friends Nat and Kylee planned the entire celebration and until I actually arrived at the party site, I had absolutely no idea of what…

  • Blissful Drip Café from “Big Little Lies”

    Blissful Drip Café from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ Big Little Lies producers sure like their fake coffee shops!  In the hit HBO series’ first season, Madeline Martha Mackenzie (Reese Witherspoon), Celeste Wright (Nicole Kidman) and Jane Chapman (Shailene Woodley) regularly hung out at Blue Blues, a supposed Old Fisherman’s Wharf restaurant that, as I mentioned here and here, was actually a studio-built…

  • The “Clueless” Mall

    The “Clueless” Mall

    ‘ As evidenced by yesterday’s post, I have been on a major Clueless filming locations kick as of late.  One spot about which much conflicting information has been reported online is the mall (or malls) that appeared in the 1995 flick.  Some sites stipulate Westside Pavilion in Rancho Park was used, some surmise the Beverly…

  • You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!

    You’re Going to Hollywood, Dog!

    ‘ Got a from Hilary last week to find the apartment building that the Top 12 American Idols just moved into. This challenge was actually a slam dunk as a good friend of mine used to live in the Idols building. So I just called him up and got the address (Thanks, DH!) The Idols…

  • The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    The SmokeHouse Restaurant from “Lucifer”

    ‘ Hollywood loves a redux.  So do I, apparently, because here I am yet again with yet another location re-do!  (For those who missed it, I penned a second post on the Simpson family home from She’s Out of Control last week.)  Today’s blog is actually my third go-around with this particular spot (you can…
