    Tilly’s House from “Flaked”

    ‘ I never thought I’d say I’m in love with a gate, but here we are.  Back in March 2016, my Los Angeles magazine editor assigned me a piece chronicling the locations from the then-new Netflix series Flaked.  I got to work researching right away and one spot immediately stood out among the rest –…

    Liz’s House from “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”

    ‘ There are two kinds of people in this world – those who can watch movies over and over and over again and those who cannot.  I am in the former category.  During my teens and twenties, my parents owned a condominium in Hawaii.  We would vacation there every summer, along with other families who…

    The Quality Café

    ‘ While stalking in Downtown Los Angeles a couple of weekends ago, the Grim Cheaper and I found ourselves hungry so I suggested grabbing some lunch at the Quality Café on West 7th Street – a diner that has appeared in countless productions over the years.  When we showed up to stalk the place, though,…

    Groman Eden Mortuary from “Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead”

    ‘ Never in a million years did I think that the 1991 comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead, one of my all-time favorite movies, would provide me with a Haunted Hollywood posting, but it did!  In July 2014, a reader named Frank Vollhardt wrote a comment on my post about the DTMTBD house alerting…
