Heather’s House from “New Nightmare”
‘ Way back in April, after stalking the talking road condition sign location from L.A. Story (which I blogged about here) and Malibu Hindu Temple from Beverly Hills Ninja (which I blogged about here), Mike, from MovieShotsLA, took me to the Tarzana-area house where Heather Langenkamp (who played herself) lived with her husband, Chase Porter…

Fosselman’s Ice Cream from “Phantasm”
‘ When I was a little girl, my grandma would regularly take me out for an afterschool treat at our local ice cream parlor. I cherished those trips, and now the memories of them, and was absolutely devastated when the parlor closed down about 15 years ago only to be replaced by a gift store. …

Chabelita Tacos from “Truth or Dare”
‘ Roadside taco stands don’t usually conjure up images of the macabre. Today’s locale is no different. In fact, the eatery – Chabelita Tacos – is a bright and colorful addition to the Harvard Heights skyline. But since it did appear in a memorable scene in the 2018 horror flick Truth or Dare, I thought…

Healdsburg Town Plaza from “Scream”
‘ I was saddened to wake up to the news of yet another fire tearing through Sonoma County last Thursday morning, this one threatening Healdsburg, one of my favorite places in the entire world. Not only is the city idyllic, pastoral and ridiculously charming, but it is a filming location to boot, the main square…

The Cobb Estate from “Phantasm”
‘ One locale that I came across (thanks to an article on Amoeblog) while doing research for my 2012 Haunted Hollywood posts was the former Cobb Estate in Altadena, the gates of which appeared in the 1979 cult horror film Phantasm. And while I stalked the location shortly thereafter, for whatever reason I never got…

Mission Street from “Little Black Book”
‘ Back in November 2010, a fellow stalker named Clayton wrote a comment on my post about Fair Oaks Pharmacy from Mr. Deeds (which you can read here) alerting me that fave movie Little Black Book and the 1985 classic Back to the Future had also done some filming at the 50s-style soda fountain. And…

The Old Man’s House from “Night of the Demons”
‘ Ah, how I love creepy old houses. Horror flicks? Not so much. Which is strange, I know, being that I am such a fan of Halloween, all things scary, and movies in general. I do absolutely love horror films that are done well, though (hello, Scream!), but find that the vast majority are pretty…

The “Waxwork” House
‘ It’s finally that time again, folks – time for my annual Haunted Hollywood stalkings! I intended to commence this year’s postings with a real doozy of a murder case, but got held up a bit in my research. I am currently awaiting some documents from the County of Riverside that should provide more clarity…

Jeff’s House from “Spellbinder”
‘ My Haunted Hollywood backlog is getting ridiculous! Currently, I have more than 50 already-stalked spooky locations compiled – and only about 20 or so days each year to blog about them. Regardless, I keep compiling more – and I love every minute of it! Why can’t all year be Halloween? Last October, fellow stalker…

New “L.A.” Mag Post and BIG NEWS!
‘ Don’t forget to read my latest Los Angeles magazine article! It’s my first Haunted Hollywood post of the season, about the Hanging Tree from Phantasm – one of the prettiest locations I have ever stalked! And BIG NEWS that I have been waiting to share. I recently taped a segment about Beverly Hills, 90210…
