    The Villa Del Sol from “Rosewood”

    ‘ The Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon is a term used to describe the experience of coming across an obscure word, thing, or piece of information for the first time and then subsequently happening upon references to that same word, thing, or piece of information on a regular basis.  I had never heard of it until fellow stalker/guest…

    Tom C. Ruz

    ‘ During high school I was completely and totally head-over-heels for Tom Cruise. Let me clarify that I now think the man is an absolute loon, but back in the day I thought Tom Cruise was the bees knees. 🙂 Each week in my high school Spanish class we were assigned three 5 minute conversations,…

  • The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    The Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple

    ‘ Another location that I stalked while my good friend Nat was in town a few weeks ago was the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine Temple – a ten-acre public oasis located on Sunset Boulevard in Pacific Palisades that was established by spiritual leader/Kriya Yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda in 1950.  Because Nat is a dedicated yogi,…

  • The “Empty Nest” House

    The “Empty Nest” House

    ‘ Today’s post is a looooooong-time coming, friends! Easily the location I get asked to track down most often is the supposed Miami, Florida-area house where Dr. Harry Weston (Richard Mulligan) lived on the television series Empty Nest. I have searched for the contemporary two-story residence off-and-on over the years, but never had any luck. …

  • Weekend Off!

    Weekend Off!

    ‘ Sorry to have been M.I.A. for the past couple of days, but my dad and I spent the end of last week finishing up my closet (pictures to come just as soon as I am done organizing it) and then Miss Pinky Lovejoy, from the Thinking Pink blog, came out to the desert for…

    The Coffee Pot from “90210”

    ‘ As I mentioned back in March in my post about Bar Keeper in Silver Lake, the whimsical little barware store that stood in for Upon Galley in the 2005 movie A Lot Like Love, one locale that I had been absolutely itching to stalk in recent weeks was the Coffee Pot, an Echo Park-area…

  • The Weller Residence from “Castle”

    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.  (There’s the Mills View House from House, the Blankenhorn Lamphear House from Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and the Miller and Harriott House…

  • Ray Combs’ Former House

    Ray Combs’ Former House

    ‘ One Haunted Hollywood location that I learned about back in January thanks to the fabulous book Hollywood Death and Scandal Sites, which was written by fellow stalker E.J. of The Movieland Directory, was the Glendale-area home where former Family Feud host Ray Combs was taken into custody shortly before his 1996 suicide.  I was…

  • The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    The McCullough Residence from “Little Fires Everywhere”

    ‘ I knew I would love Little Fires Everywhere long before it premiered.  One look at the trailer had me drooling!  A confounding mystery at its center, Reese Witherspoon at the helm, a setting that is almost a character, and two of my favorite cuties, Joshua Jackson and Geoff Stults, in lead roles.  What’s not…
