Halloween 2017
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 though,…

Happy Halloween!
I would like to wish all of my fellow stalkers a very Happy Halloween! The Grim Cheaper and I were away all weekend celebrating the holiday with one of our best friends in San Diego, so I do not have a new post for today, unfortunately. And my grandma is currently in town visiting for…

The Mütter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia
I am into some admittedly weird stuff – murders, hauntings, all things macabre. But a place I learned about while planning my 2016 trip to Pennsylvania seemed even a bit too morbid for me. As DK Eyewitness Travel Guide described, The Mütter Museum of The College of Physicians of Philadelphia exhibits “curious and unusual items,…

Marie McDonald’s Former House
There are strange Hollywood crimes and then there are strange Hollywood crimes. Today’s locale fits into the latter category. Last week, my friend Owen, of the When Write Is Wrong blog, emailed me to let me know about a mystifying case concerning an actress that was detailed in a recent issue of Entertainment Weekly (issue…

Myra Jones’ Former House
Though I love true crime and pretty much all of its facets, there are some cases that I find too sad and disturbing to read about, research, do any stalking of, or feature on my blog. Today’s locale, the site of the brutal rape and murder of a 71-year-old grandma, is not one I would…

New York’s Paley Park
New York has no shortage of “secret” places. I blogged about one – Grand Central’s Whispering Gallery – on Friday. Another that the Grim Cheaper and I are fond of is Paley Park, located in NYC’s Midtown East neighborhood. We happened by the site while wandering along 53rd Street during our very first visit to…

The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video
The Grim Cheaper often accuses me of beating a dead horse. While I typically don’t agree with him, today’s post is pretty concrete evidence that he’s right, because here I am yet again with yet another article about the diner from Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Beat It” music video. Today actually marks the fourth time I’ve…

Happy Labor Day!
I would like to wish a happy Labor Day and three-day weekend to all of my fellow stalkers. I am taking today off in honor of the holiday, but will be back on Wednesday with a new post – one I am really, really excited about. So stay tuned!

Patapsco Valley State Park from “Serial”
Patapsco State Park. Those three words, the name of a popular Baltimore-area recreation spot, shouldn’t be part of the lexicon of this California native. But in October 2014, the first season of the investigative podcast Serial was released and instantly became a worldwide phenomenon. Detailing the 1999 killing of high school student Hae Min Lee…

My Latest Mike the Fanboy Article – About the “Pretty Little Liars”: Made Here Exhibit
I am finally back from my surprise whirlwind vacation! As it turns out, my best friends flew in from Switzerland for 9 days to spend my 40th with me, along with my parents and the Grim Cheaper. Though we were originally supposed to spend our time on Coronado Island in San Diego, thanks to a…
