  • Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    Abbot’s Habit from “The Truth About Cats & Dog”

    ‘ Last Saturday, after stalking the Venice exterior of O’Hara’s Pub from Bad Santa (which I blogged about here), the Grim Cheaper and I decided to walk around Abbot Kinney Boulevard for a bit.  At one point during our stroll, we passed by a corner coffee shop named Abbot’s Habit and I recognized it immediately…

  • Richard Simmons’ House

    Richard Simmons’ House

    ‘ I, along with the rest of the world, became absolutely transfixed by the first season of Serial, the 2014 podcast hosted by Sarah Koenig which detailed the murder of Baltimore teenager Hae Min Lee and the subsequent conviction of her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed for the killing.  Not only did the Grim Cheaper and I…

    Central Park’s Gapstow Bridge

    ‘ One of my favorite places in all of New York is the tiny, little bridge known as Gapstow Bridge.  Actually, I take that back.  I think it’”‘”‘s far more accurate to say that the bridge is one of my favorite places in the entire world.   🙂   I am so enamored with it, in fact, that my entire family…

  • The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”

    The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”

    ‘ One locale that I came across (thanks to an article on Amoeblog) while doing research for my 2012 Haunted Hollywood posts was the former Cobb Estate in Altadena, the gates of which appeared in the 1979 cult horror film Phantasm.  And while I stalked the location shortly thereafter, for whatever reason I never got…

  • Grayson Manor from “Revenge”

    Grayson Manor from “Revenge”

    ‘ My favorite location from the television series Revenge is Grayson Manor, the massive Hamptons estate that originally belonged to the dysfunctional Grayson family, but is currently home to Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp).  It seems that pretty much everyone who watches the show is as obsessed with the house as I am and there are…

  • Susan Berman’s Former House

    Susan Berman’s Former House

    ‘ One location that has confused me for years is the cottage where writer Susan Berman was murdered in 2000 – so much so that despite stalking it back in August 2015, I have put off blogging about it until now.  I first learned of the locale from the hit HBO docuseries The Jinx: The…

  • Joe and Love’s New House from “You”

    Joe and Love’s New House from “You”

    ‘ I apologize to those who don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook for not posting updates about my dad here.  He was finally moved out of the ICU a couple of days ago, thank God, and is currently progressing in the right direction.  Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi and cell signal in the ICU were nil,…

  • The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    The Former KCET Studios from “L.A. Story”

    ‘ While perusing through my extensive backlog of stalking photographs recently, I realized that there were a few L.A. Story locales that I had yet to blog about, one of which was the former site of KCET Studios in Los Feliz, where Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) worked in the 1991 comedy.  I had actually…

  • The “License to Drive” Party House

    The “License to Drive” Party House

    ‘ Another License to Drive location that I was finally able to cross off my To-Stalk list while visiting L.A. a couple of weeks ago was the house where Les Anderson (Corey Haim), Dean (Corey Feldman) and Charles (Michael Manasseri) attended a birthday party in the 1988 flick, which was one of my all-time favorites. …
