The Weller Residence from “Castle”
‘ What is it about Victorian-style dwellings that lends itself so well to scary movies and television shows with a spooky theme? I so often find myself blogging about Victorians this time of year.

Mawby’s Bar from “Flashdance” – An Update

The “Four Christmases” House
‘ Today’s location is a big one, my fellow stalkers! Well, it is for me, at least, being that it took me years to find it, as I mentioned in last Friday’s post. Yes, I am talking about the ultra-modern and gorgeous hilltop home where Brad (Vince Vaughn) and Kate (Reese Witherspoon) lived in the…

The “Brady Bunch” House
‘ Ever since I saw the “Silver Platters” episode of about 25 years ago and watched Marcia, Greg and the gang do their “Keep On Groovin’”‘”‘” dance, I was absolutely hooked on the show! I still find myself getting sucked into episodes every now and then if I happen to catch them on TBS. So…

“The Exorcist” House and Stairs
‘ I’ve ventured down a deep, dark rabbit hole today, friends. I should back up and explain from the beginning. Last night, the Grim Cheaper and I watched The Exorcist for the first time.
