Pete’s House from “Bridesmaids”
‘ Speaking of Cameron Woods (in case you missed Monday’s post, you can read it here) . . . while wandering around the neighborhood recently I was reminded of a spot that I stalked long ago but had yet to blog about – the house belonging to Pete (Brian Petsos) in the 2011 comedy Bridesmaids. …

My Latest Interview with US Modernist Radio
‘ Last month, I headed out to the Skylark Hotel in Palm Springs to meet with George Smart, of the US Modernist website, and record a bit for his popular podcast, US Modernist Radio. While sitting by the pool in the Skylark’s fabulously retro courtyard (which could not have felt more appropriate), George and I…

The Smith Estate from “Insidious: Chapter 2”
‘ Considering I’ve been stalking full-time for close to a decade and annually covering Haunted Hollywood locales for just about as long, you’d think I’d have the market on spooky sites cornered by now. That is definitely not the case, though. I am continuously discovering new-to-me spots, scary and otherwise, which speaks more to the…

Antonio’s Pizzeria – A Shannen Doherty Fave

Liberace’s Third Palm Springs House
‘ Shortly after moving to the desert back in January, I took my dad to a doctor appointment and, while in the waiting room, happened to pick up the November 2012 issue of Palm Springs Life magazine. It turned out to be a fortuitous choice because in it was an article titled “Living With Liberace”…

The “Thriller” House
‘ Today, in honor of Halloween, I thought I’d blog about what is arguably the most famous haunted house of all time – the Victorian-style residence that was featured in the 1983 music video “Michael Jackson’s Thriller”. Even though I’ve actually already blogged about this location once before (way back in December of 2007 when…

The Golden Girls House
‘ This past weekend, thanks to fellow stalker Owen, I was able to stalk the home used in one of my favorite ‘”‘”’80s TV shows – The Golden Girls. Being that I was only eight years old at the time The Golden Girls premiered, I probably seem like a very unlikely fan of the show. But, for some reason,…

Killer Café from “Enough”
‘ One location that I had been dying to stalk for close to a decade was Edie’s Diner, the 50s-style restaurant in Marina Del Rey that stood in for Phil’s Famous Red Car Diner where Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) worked – and met her reprobate husband, Mitch Hiller (Billy Campbell) – in the 2002 thriller…
