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 Salomon Family’s Former Home
‘ The second I pulled the July issue of Los Angeles magazine out of my mailbox, I knew I was a goner. Not only did the publication chronicle the city’s best fried chicken (my favorite food), but six words on the cover stopped me dead in my tracks – “Searching for the Family that Vanished.” …

Jack Rabbit Slim’s Restaurant from “Pulp Fiction”

Kyra Sedgwick’s Walk Of Fame Star Ceremony

Because the GC always likes to joke that businesses…

The Ella Strong Denison Library from “Beaches”
‘ Libraries are very much on my brain as of late. It’s all thanks to Matilda and the post I wrote about the Wormwood home last week. While scanning through the 1996 film making screen captures, I became awestruck by the incredible book repository where young Matilda (Sara Magdalin) regularly hung out. Though countless websites…

The “Beautiful Girls” Houses
‘ As I remarked last week, one of my very favorite films of all time is the 1996 flick Beautiful Girls. But, being that no one that I’ve mentioned the movie to as of late has ever even heard of it, I’m guessing it was pretty much a sleeper hit, despite its all-star cast. Nevertheless,…

The Blankenhorn Lamphear House from “Teaching Mrs. Tingle”
‘ As I mentioned in yesterday’s post (which you can read here), I recently went on a trek to find all of the locations used in the 1999 thriller Teaching Mrs. Tingle. The locale I was most interested in tracking down, of course, was the huge Victorian manse belonging to the movie’s titular character, who…

Stalking San Diego
‘ Spent this past weekend in Coronado, a small island off the coast of San Diego, with my family to celebrate Father’”‘”‘s Day. My best friend, who lives nearby, came over to spend the day with me by the hotel pool and when she got there she mentioned that she was a “bit afraid” to…

Alma Mater to the Stars
‘ This weekend, while stalking in the Valley, my boyfriend and I drove by Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks. American Idol fans might remember Notre Dame from Season 5, when Katherine McPhee returned to her hometown of Sherman Oaks for a large pep rally held in the gym of her alma mater. Antonio…
