After wiping the…

Kelly and Donna’s Beach Apartment
‘ Just got a comment from La on my 90210 post – she wishes I had taken my stalking a little further and stalked Kelly and Donna’”‘”‘s beach apartment from 90210′”‘”‘s college years. Come on – don’”‘”‘t you know me by now? Of course I’”‘”‘ve stalked Kelly and Donna’”‘”‘s place. 🙂 This location I found…

The Sierra Bonita Apartments from “Mulholland Dr.”
‘ Another Haunted-Hollywood-type location that I found thanks to fellow stalker/David Lynch aficionado Brad, from the Brad D Studios website, was the fictionally-named “Sierra Bonita” apartment complex – the fairy-tale-style property that was featured in one of the more intense and terrifying scenes from the surrealist director’s incredibly odd 2001 thriller Mulholland Dr. Brad had…

Grub Restaurant from “The Hills”
‘ While scanning through episodes of The Hills this past weekend looking for the scene that was filmed at Pinches Tacos in West Hollywood, which I blogged about yesterday, I just about fell off my chair when I spotted Grub Restaurant pop up in Season 5’s “Can’t Always Get What You Want”. Amazingly, way back…

I…

Dottie’s House from “A League of Their Own”
‘ I am pretty sure Penny Marshall had some sort of direct line of sight into my soul. The late director was behind several of my most beloved films. And not just movies I enjoy, but ones I find incredibly poignant, moving and enduring – productions that left a mark on my heart and invariably…

The Old Place Restaurant from “Twin Peaks”
‘ A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from a fellow stalker named Brad who runs a website named Brad D Studios where, among other things, he chronicles filming locations from David Lynch productions. I spent the next few hours perusing Brad’s site and was ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED to discover that every episode of…

Becky Bloomwood Takes on the El Capitan!
‘ I have long been obsessed with the “Confessions of a Shopaholic” book series authored by British novelist Sophie Kinsella (aka Madeline Wickham). So obsessed in fact that about five years ago when I heard that Hollywood was optioning a screenplay based on the novels, I wrote to Sophie pitching myself for the movie’”‘”‘s lead role. I must say that I…

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…
