This really doesn't have anything to do with monsters, science-fiction or horror films, but this is a great opportunity for avid movie fans of any genre.
The "Way Out West" Tent (Los Angeles) of the Sons of the Desert (the Laurel and Hardy fan organization) will be conducting a tour of Laurel and Hardy locations throughout the Los Angeles area.
I went on this tour twice (back in the 1980s) and they were a lot of fun.
The "Way Out West" Tent sent the following information:
