    Happy Martin Luther King Day!

    ‘ I will be taking today off in honor of Martin Luther King Day.  I hope all of my fellow stalkers have a fabulous three-day weekend and I promise to be back tomorrow with a whole new post. Until next time, Happy Stalking! ‘

  • 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…

  • Brad and Angie’s Gate!

    Brad and Angie’s Gate!

    ‘ After Brad Pitt left Jen Aniston for Angelina Jolie – that jerk! – he purchased a beach front home on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. Brad and Angie lived at the house on and off for about a year. Although Brad still owns the home, the two have not stayed there in quite some…

  • Andrew’s House from “Hidden Away”

    Andrew’s House from “Hidden Away”

    ‘ Ah yes, another Hidden Away locale.  I promise this is the last one!  Despite the fact that the 2013 Lifetime Original Movie was laughably bad, I became obsessed with tracking down all of its locations, mainly due to the fact that it was lensed for the most part in Palm Springs.  (You can read…

  • The Cree Estate in Cathedral City

    The Cree Estate in Cathedral City

    ‘ While doing research on Las-Vegas-Dunes-Hotel-owner Charlie “Kewpie” Rich’s former Palm Springs home, which I blogged about last Tuesday, I came across some information about another Coachella Valley location where my girl Jen Aniston and former-husband Brad Pitt had once vacationed.  The property is known as the historic Cree Estate in Cathedral City and it…

  • The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    The Standard Hotel Rooftop Bar in Downtown Los Angeles

    ‘ Another Fracture filming location that I recently stalked – without actually realizing it – was the Standard Hotel’s Rooftop Bar in Downtown L.A.  I say “without actually realizing it” because at the time I stalked the place I had no idea it was a filming location.   I ended up there while on the way…

  • Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    Lux Nightclub from “Lucifer”

    ‘ The recent network television cancellations left me reeling.  Four – yes, four – of my favorite shows – Lucifer, Scorpion, Timeless and Brooklyn Nine-Nine – were given the ax.  Though the latter was promptly rescued, I am still waiting for the #savescorpion, #savelucifer and #savetimeless cries to be heard.  If not, the Grim Cheaper…

  • L’Opera Restaurant from “Charmed”

    L’Opera Restaurant from “Charmed”

    ‘ I rarely find myself in the LBC (that’s Long Beach, California, for those not in the know), so when I was out there a couple of months ago snapping photos for The Ultimate Guide to Clueless Movie Locations in Los Angeles Part I and Part II (which, if you haven’t checked out yet, you…

  • Studio Gate 3 from the “Feud” “Hollywood Drive” Promo

    Studio Gate 3 from the “Feud” “Hollywood Drive” Promo

    ‘ It will probably come as a shock to most readers that I don’t know a lot about Old Hollywood.  Sure, I am well-versed in all things Marilyn Monroe and have stalked my fair share of noir locations, but on the whole, I’d say I’m pretty lacking in knowledge about the Tinseltown of yesteryear.  I…

    New Scene It Before Post – The “Annie” Orphanage

    ‘ Don’t forget to check out my latest Los Angeles magazine post – about a location from one of my favorite movies ever, Annie.  My articles typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘
