  • Surprise Vacation!

    Surprise Vacation!

    ‘ The Grim Cheaper has whisked me away for a surprise trip for my birthday (I literally have no clue where we are going or what we are doing), so I will not be blogging for the next couple of days.  I should be back to posting on Friday, June 16th, so I will see…

  • The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”

    The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant from “I Love You, Man”

    ‘ In Pretty Woman, Edward Lewis (Richard Gere) states that very few people surprise him.  I could say the same about filming locations.  One that did recently surprise me, though, was The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in Reseda.  For years I had been under the impression that the engagement party scene from the 2009 comedy…

  • Leaping Off Into The Great Unknown

    Leaping Off Into The Great Unknown

    ‘ Last week, I made a pretty big life changing decision and quit my job. I have decided to pursue acting (and, of course, stalking) full time – no more having a day job and fitting my acting pursuits around it. From now on I am going to pursue acting 100 percent. 🙂 I am…

  • Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    Robert Kardashian’s Former House

    ‘ Last October, while I was knee-deep in my Haunted Hollywood postings, fellow stalker/prolific author E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, emailed me to let me know about his book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites: Sixteen Driving Tours with Directions and the Full Story, from Tallulah Bankhead to River Phoenix, which he thought I might…

  • The “Kill Bill” Church

    The “Kill Bill” Church

    ‘ One location that my dad and I visited while stalking in the Lancaster and Palmdale areas last week was the Sanctuary Adventist Church which was used prominently in the 2003 and 2004 Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2.  And although I have never actually seen either of the…

  • Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    Sierra Towers – Brody Jenner’s Building on “The Hills”

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out doing some stalking with my fiancé in West Hollywood, I made a little pit stop at the place where Brody Jenner is shown to reside on fave reality show The Hills, a West Hollywood building which is known as the Sierra Towers.   I found this location once again…

  • The Whisky a Go Go

    The Whisky a Go Go

    ‘ I’ve never really been into music.  As I have mentioned before, if it’s not sung by Michael Bublé, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson, or was not a top ‘80s hit, chances are I haven’t heard it.  But my good friend Kim from Kentucky is a huge music buff, so when she and our good…

  • Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    Spencer’s House and Barn from “Pretty Little Liars”

    ‘ Though all of the homes featured on Pretty Little Liars are pretty darn amazing design-wise, my personal favorite, hands-down, is the farm-like residence where Spencer Hastings (Troian Bellisario) and her family live.  So when I began tracking down the locales used in the pilot, which was shot in Vancouver, Spencer’s pad was at the…

  • Café Descanso from “Big Little Lies”

    Café Descanso from “Big Little Lies”

    ‘ My mom recently commented to me that the latest season of Big Little Lies is shot very tightly, which she finds surprising being that director Andrea Arnold sought to feature more of the great outdoors this time around.  Even Blissful Drip Café, the prop coffee shop built specifically for the series on a bluff…

  • Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    ‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.  Well, as luck would have it, since that time I have been lucky enough to meet Sabin…
