HarborPlace Tower from “The Craft”
‘ Today’s location is a special request from my good friends Katie and Lavonna, who, in a group text, both suggested I blog about some sites from The Craft as part of my Haunted Hollywood postings. Now the 1996 horror flick is not one of my favorites and its locales have been pretty well documented…

Billy’s Bakery
‘ At the risk of looking like a total and complete dork (not to mention a fool!), I thought I’”‘”‘d post some pretty idiotic photographs that I took on my very first trip to New York. At the time I was completely obsessed with Katie Holmes. This was in December of 2005, in the pre-Suri…

The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage
‘ The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage recently re-opened after what amounted to countless delays and an almost eight-year closure. A few years prior to its shuttering, when it was known as The Lodge at Rancho Mirage, the resort hosted the nuptials of Bachelorette Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter, and I had been itching to stalk it…

The First Congregational Church of Los Angeles from “My So-Called Life”
‘ Fellow stalker/My So-Called Life aficionado Andrew recently went on a mission to try to track down the church that was used in the Season 1 Christmas-themed episode of fave show My So-Called Life titled “So-Called Angels”. He had just picked up the most-recently released boxed set of the series, which came out in 2007,…

The Pilot House!
‘ One filming location that has pretty much been the bane of Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and my existence for quite some time now is the home that the Walsh family lived in during the very first of episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. Mike and I fondly, and sometimes not so fondly – LOL – refer to this location as…

Robolights – One of the World’s Most Unusual Christmas Displays
‘ I’ve been lamenting to the Grim Cheaper lately about Palm Springs’ lack of Christmas décor. Sure there are some lights displayed in various shopping centers and on downtown streetlights, but overall the desert just doesn’t have the feeling of the holidays – at least not when compared to Los Angeles. There is one Movie…

The “Sleepless in Seattle” Houseboat
‘ Another Seattle area location that my good friend and fellow stalker Kerry stalked for me a few weeks back was the houseboat where Sam Baldwin (aka Tom Hanks) and his son Jonah (aka Ross Malinger) lived in one of my favorite romantic comedies of all time, 1993’s Sleepless in Seattle. I just re-watched Sleepless…

Charmed, I’m Sure!
‘ Just got a challenge to find the house – but that is an easy one! 🙂 The house is located on Carroll Avenue, a historic block of Victorian homes near Echo Park that is used constantly for filming. The Charmed house is the purple one located at 1329 Carroll Avenue – and the same…

Isn’t It Romantic!
‘ A few weeks ago while watching my all time favorite episode of Beverly Hills, 90210, entitled “Isn’”‘”‘t It Romantic”, I noticed something I had never noticed before in all of my previous times watching it. In the episode, Dylan takes Brenda on a date to a scenic lookout point to discuss their burgeoning relationship. While watching…

The “Hangover” House
‘ A few weeks ago, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, called me up to let me know that he was on the hunt for the main house used in fave movie The Hangover. The two of us both had a pretty good inkling that the residence was located somewhere in the Pasadena area, we just weren’t sure…
