    Nick’s (Almost) Apartment from “The Crush”

    ‘ Just a mile and a half away from the Forrester mansion, which appeared in the 1993 thriller The Crush and which I blogged about yesterday, is the supposed Seattle-area apartment house where Nick Eliot (aka Cary Elwes) tried to rent a unit after discovering that his current landlords’ 14-year old daughter Adrian (aka Alicia…

    Another Day Off

    ‘ I hate to do this again, but because I spent most of yesterday as a reader at the annual Read-In at the school where my mom used to teach, I did not have time to write a new blog post for today.  (The door decoration that the class I read for made for me…

  • Elegant Manor

    Elegant Manor

    ‘ Because there’s nothing this stalker loves more than history and abandoned locations, my BFF Mike, from MovieShotsLA, once took me by a dilapidated old West Adams house known as Elegant Manor that has quite a backstory.  This was years ago, though, and, while I knew the place was a filming location (thanks to this…

    Taking Today and Tomorrow Off

    ‘ My dad had surgery yesterday (fingers crossed that this one will be successful!) and, because I am spending the next few days in the desert with him, I will not have any new blogs to post today or Thursday and, possibly, Friday. I do have a funny stalking anecdote to share, though – one…

    Hamburger Hamlet from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Halfway through writing this post, I realized I probably should have saved it until February.  At that point, though, it was too late to start over, so I figured c’est la vie.  Here goes.  A few years ago, when I first saw the “Galentine’s Day” episode of Parks and Recreation, I recognized the restaurant…

  • Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    Sidney’s House from “Scream 3”

    ‘ One location that I was absolutely desperate to find in time for this year’s Haunted Hollywood posts was the isolated house where Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) lived in Scream 3.  I knew from the flick’s Wikipedia page that the residence was located somewhere in the Topanga area, but other than that, I had very…

  • Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    Sherman Way Adult Books from “Behind the Candelabra”

    ‘ Today’s location is a bit of a risqué one, so brace yourselves, my fellow stalkers!  Back in May, after Behind the Candelabra first premiered, I received an email from my buddy E.J., of The Movieland Directory website, listing a few of the locales that he had tracked down from the HBO biopic.  He ended…

  • Ron Levin’s Former Home

    Ron Levin’s Former Home

    ‘ As a Los Angeles aficionado who has long been obsessed with true crime, it is rather shocking that I had no knowledge of the infamous Billionaire Boys Club murders of 1984.  Sure, I’d heard of the 1987 The Billionaire Boys Club miniseries, but figuring it a tale of financial woe, dismissed it as not…

  • Lauren and Jason’s Malibu Rental from “The Hills”

    Lauren and Jason’s Malibu Rental from “The Hills”

    ‘ Way back in June 2010, a fellow stalker named Nick emailed me to let me know he had tracked down the Malibu beach house that Lauren Conrad and her then boyfriend Jason Wahler leased for the summer in the Season 1 episode of The Hills titled “Timing Is Everything.”  And while the location was…
