Depends on the type of b-movie. Alot of the cheeky Bikini style ones are done on Venice Beach. All of the porn companies are lovated in Van Nyss. Palm springs is a good place to shoot wasteland sceens. Canoga (sp?) canyon is a staple for television, M*A*S*H was shot there.

You need to be more specific. What are you looking for exactly?

Bronson Canyon was used for a lot of movies, including the Planet of the Apes movies.

Vasquez Rocks County Park is a very recognizable location that has been used for a ton of B-movies.

    I think "The Creeping Terror" was filmed down there.  Glendale, and somewhere around L.A.  When you find a place, look up some old newspapers to see if they have any articles on the filming.  Just a thought.

The opposite end of the universe compared to Cali.
