More Halloween!
‘ Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had…

The Majestic Downtown from “The Holiday”
‘ The Holiday has definitely been on my brain as of late. I wrote about two of the houses used in the 2006 film for the December issue of Los Angeles magazine and recently got to tour Thorne Hall at Occidental College, the setting of one of its most poignant scenes. So I figured it…

Cameron’s Seafood from “Say Anything . . . “
‘ The restaurant business is an insanely fickle one. So when I set out to find the eatery where Diane Court (Ione Skye) lunched with her mom, Mrs. Court (Lois Chiles), and her mom’s boyfriend, Ray (Stephen Shortridge), in the 1989 flick Say Anything . . . a few years back, I never dreamed it…

The Brothers and Sisters House
‘ Got a last week from who wanted me to do some stalking of the house used in the ABC series . I’”‘”‘d actually gotten this challenge once before, but since I had never really watched the show, I hadn’”‘”‘t put much effort into stalking it. But then I saw the house on and he…

The “Whatever It Takes” Houses
‘ I am all about teen comedies, even admittedly bad ones. Drive Me Crazy is one of my favorite movies ever, I loved all of the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen destination flicks, and Get Over It cracks me up every time I watch, even though I’ve seen it repeatedly. So I was shocked when…

St. Vincent Court from “The Mentalist”
‘ I cannot wait for the Secret L.A.-themed February issue of Los Angeles magazine to hit newsstands! The City of Angels is chock full of tucked-away gems and I absolutely love discovering them. The Grim Cheaper and I just stalked one, in fact, that is also a filming location – St. Vincent Court, which appeared…

They’re Here!
‘ A few weeks ago I sent Mike from MovieShotsLA out to do a little Haunted Hollywood stalking for me. I had read online that the house from the original Poltergeist movie (another horror flick I have yet to see!) is located in Simi Valley, and since Mike was in the area, I asked him…

Mary Miles Minter’s Former Mansions
‘ The death of William Desmond Taylor remains one of Hollywood’s most notorious unsolved mysteries, over 90 years after its occurrence. On the evening of February 1st, 1922, the 50-year-old director was shot and killed in his Westlake apartment complex. Though there were suspects aplenty, no one was ever indicted in the murder and the…

The Filming Locations of “Big Little Lies” Season 2 – “What Have They Done”
‘ I’ve made no secret of my apathy for the second season of Big Little Lies. But I was, of course, still entranced by its locations, which I’ve been obsessively IDing ever since episode 1 aired in early June. So I figure it is only appropriate to follow up my complete guide to the locales…

Stalking the WB!
‘ This past Monday, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I took a little stalking field strip to both Warner Brothers Studios and the Paramount Lot. I’”‘”‘ll get to the Paramount tour tomorrow, but today it’”‘”‘s all about the WB. What can I say – the Warner Brothers tour was awesome! It is nothing at all like…
