  • Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    Alfred Hitchcock’s Second L.A. Home

    ‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which you can read here), in the Spring of 1942, Alfred Hitchcock, his wife, Alma, and their daughter, Pat, moved out of their first Los Angeles-area home (a Bel Air rental that was previously lived in by Carole Lombard) and into a new one, which they purchased, that…

  • Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    Hilton Checkers Hotel from “The West Wing”

    ‘ One of the best parts about finally watching The West Wing for the first time is all of the L.A. locales I’ve been able to identify and stalk (you can read about a few of them here, here, and here).  One spot that I recognized on sight was Hilton Checkers Los Angeles, which masked…

  • Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    Rod’s Grill from “Mad Men”

    ‘ During last year’s Haunted Hollywood postings, I blogged about the Mills View House in Monrovia, which was featured in both the Season 1 Halloween-themed episode of Picket Fences titled “Remembering Rosemary” and the 1986 horror flick House.  Well, as luck would have it, since that time I have been lucky enough to meet Sabin…

  • They’re Here!

    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…

  • The “FlashForward” FBI Headquarters Building

    The “FlashForward” FBI Headquarters Building

    ‘ I was thoroughly disappointed to learn about the cancellation of the ABC television series FlashForward earlier this week, as the show was one of my favorites of the 2009 Fall Season.  What makes the cancellation most heartbreaking, though, for me at least, is the fact that because the season finale was filmed long before…

  • Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    Hotel Normandie from “Vanderpump Rules”

    ‘ Vanderpump Rules is like a fine wine – it just keeps getting better with age.  Six seasons in and the show still hasn’t peaked!  Well, in my opinion, at least.  Not only do the storylines continually get more and more compelling (and ridiculous – “My boyfriend can hang a TV in under seven minutes. …

  • Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center from “Parks and Recreation”

    Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ One location that had been lingering at the top of my To-Stalk for more than a few months was Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, which stands in for Pawnee Saint Joseph Hospital, where Ann Perkins (Rashida Jones) works, on fave show Parks and Recreation.  I found this locale thanks to Mike, from…

  • Dennis Feinstein Headquarters from “Parks and Recreation”

    Dennis Feinstein Headquarters from “Parks and Recreation”

    ‘ Though I chronicled the main locations used on Parks and Recreation pretty extensively for Los Angeles magazine in March, I still have a few of the series’ less prominent locales stockpiled in my backlog and figured it was about time that I covered them.  While watching the Season 7 episode titled “Save JJ’s,” I…

  • Out of Office for a Couple Days

    Out of Office for a Couple Days

    ‘ A good friend is currently in town for a brief visit, so I am taking a couple days off from blogging.  I expect to be back on Friday, so until then . . . Happy Stalking! ‘

  • Montrose Bowl

    Montrose Bowl

    ‘ A few weeks ago, while out stalking the city of Montrose with Mike, from MovieShotsLA, the two of us happened to stumble upon a little bowling alley named Montrose Bowl, which has been featured in countless movie and television productions.  Even though the bowling alley is currently closed to the public – it is…
