Halloween

‘ I was incredibly saddened to learn of the passing of John Mahoney last week.  Not only did I love the actor in pretty much every role he played, but his Hollywood story is such an unusual and admirable one.  After graduating from college, Mahoney tried his hand at a few different occupations including teaching […]

‘ One of my favorite parts of writing my blog each day is uncovering the various productions a particular locale has appeared in.  Some spots are so prevalent on the big and small screen that I inevitably miss a role or two, though.  Such was the case with the South Pasadena pad that portrayed the […]

‘ I’ve made no secret of my love for Big Little Lies over the past couple of months (you can read my many posts on its filming locations here, here, here, and here), so it should come as no surprise that the HBO miniseries figured into my and the Grim Cheaper’s 2017 Halloween costumes.  Interestingly […]

‘ Be sure to check out my latest Scene It Before post – about Sally Kellerman’s house from Back to School – on LAMag.com.  My columns typically get published in the late morning/early afternoon hours. ‘

‘ Last week I got a challenge to find the house used in the 1980′”‘”‘s television series Mama’”‘”‘s Family.  I had heard a while back that Mama’”‘”‘s house was in Pasadena, but had no idea of its exact location.   After doing a simple Google search, though, I quickly found the address.  Or so I thought.  🙂  […]

This was back in 2005, the same […]

‘ When I was in high school my good friend Dana and I were absolutely obsessed with a real life haunted house located close to where we lived. Every Friday afternoon like clockwork the two of us would make an after-school pilgrimage to the abandoned house known as the Carolands Mansion before stopping by a […]

‘ Last year, during our annual Haunted Halloween tour, I dragged my boyfriend to the two houses where Jamie Lee Curtis and her friend babysit in the movie Halloween. The final action sequence in the movie takes place at these two houses, which are located across the street from each other. Even though I had […]

‘ Last week, thanks to Mike over at , I was able to stalk the pumpkin patch that was owned by Ray Pruit’”‘”‘s family on the original . I was shocked when Mike told me that the property where filming took place is the location of an actual pumpkin patch in real life. I had […]

‘ Hi, my name is Lindsay Blake and I have never seen the movie . I know, I know – it’”‘”‘s like sacrilege or something, especially since Halloween is my favorite holiday. I’”‘”‘ve also never seen any of the movies. But I’”‘”‘ve always been kind of a scaredy cat, so as a teenager I was […]
