    The Barclay Hotel from “As Good As It Gets”

    ‘ This past weekend, the Grim Cheaper and I re-watched the movie As Good As It Gets, which I had not seen since it first came out in theatres almost 15 years ago.  I am ashamed to admit that I had somehow forgotten what a great flick it is!  While watching, I, of course, became…

  • The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    The Federal from “Four Christmases”

    ‘ I tracked down today’s locale thanks to some very insider information.  Back on December 19th, 2012, I wrote about the San Francisco pad that portrayed Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate’s (Reese Witherspoon) residence in Four Christmases.  Just a few hours after hitting “publish,” I received an email from the production designer of the 2008…

    The Burger That Ate L.A. from “Melrose Place”

    ‘ Way back in July 2009, a fellow stalker named Zoe emailed me to ask for some help in tracking down a hamburger-shaped restaurant that had appeared regularly in establishing shots on the original Melrose Place. Because I had never really watched the series, though, and had never noticed a burger-shaped eatery in all my…

  • Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    Chez Jay from “A Single Man”

    ‘ The April issue of Los Angeles magazine (for which I wrote my very first print article ever – you can read it here) featured a Time Frame image of one of Santa Monica’s most historic restaurants, Chez Jay, reminding me that while I had stalked the watering hole ages ago, I had yet to…

    The “Pretty Woman”/”(500) Days of Summer” Fountain and Park

    ‘ Another Downtown Los Angeles location that my fiancé and I stalked this past weekend was the water fountain and park which appeared in both fave movie Pretty Woman and not so fave movie (500) Days of Summer.  I discovered this location way back in September of 2007 when I was called to serve as…

  • “The Seventh Sign” House

    “The Seventh Sign” House

    ‘ NOTE – This blog was supposed to post yesterday, but somehow did not, so it looks like I am a day late and a dollar short.  Sorry about that!  I would like to start off by wishing my fellow stalkers a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN!  I hope all of you have a fabulously spook-filled day. …

    Julian Café & Bakery from “Phantasm”

    ‘ I am not at all a fan of the 1979 movie Phantasm, though you’d never guess it judging by the amount of posts I’ve done on its locations (you can read them here, here, here, here and here).  What can I say?  Crappy film, fabulous locales!  Ever since I first saw the flick last…

  • The Reichman Mansion from “Major Crimes”

    The Reichman Mansion from “Major Crimes”

    ‘ The weather in L.A. has finally turned and there is now a crispness in the air ensuring that jacket season is finally upon us.  It is also, unfortunately, time to bid adieu to this year’s Haunted Hollywood postings.  Sadness!  For the next eleven months, I will just be writing about regular ol’ stalking locations. …

  • Anthony’s House from Twilight Zone: The Movie”

    Anthony’s House from Twilight Zone: The Movie”

    ‘ Perhaps no film in the history of filmdom has been as mired in controversy as Twilight Zone: The Movie.  Bring up the 1983 thriller to anyone and talk will likely turn to the death of three of its actors in a harrowing and, what has been argued, completely avoidable accident.  On July 23rd, 1982…
