Dark Side of Hollywood with Scott Michaels of Dearly Departed Tours

today I'm on the corner of Bronson Avenue at the dearly departed Museum the corner of Santa Monica I'm doing a special tour should be fun welcome everyone Adam is the whoo here now I have been inside the building to see Jane Mansfield the car that she perished in in Louisiana is here in Los Angeles today I would be focusing more on the tour aspect of dearly departed before we leave however gonna meander around the lobby we got a helter-skelter pumpkin down here we got Mickey Rooney's flowers from his gravesite and check this out get your hair done right next to these two creepy heads inside the bathroom look at this the the male has lost his head the woman has cut off the males this Frankenstein photo this picture was on display at Bela Lugosi's home that's pretty freaking cool and if you don't have a hankering for bubble gum just put a quarter in and get yourself a shoe with a dismembered foot attached to the horrifying pirate statue from a haunted house in Detroit Michigan look look at this pirates and behind it I think the clowns behind them are probably they should belong in a haunted house as well they even have Pugsley from the Addams family's ashes right now there's Pugsley and to make this more of a special occasion it's not just me in the back is the carpetbagger Jordan the lion back there and the one and only Scott Michaels the death hag you refer to yourself as the death hag yeah I guess so in here yes the term I made up for just people you know there's Fame hags there's people that are all about famous people and there's lots of other hags and get that hag was just something I saw him now vicarious death hag nothing carries at all you hit another inch okay thank you the third apartment on the left down there was where Vampira died mister LaBianca I remember I told you he was in a Thunderbird hall on the boat behind him they came up in this direction that we're in the lobby on condos the very next house so mr. muscies LaBianca parked the car exactly where this is now if you look at this swoop right there of that fence it's immediately to our left so he parked the car in the boat here now mr. Lapham comes a little bit weird about his boat he always made sure that the boat was put away first thing in the morning so when Frank jr. was dropped off the next evening an entire day had passed and the boat was still here so that was a red flag for Frank jun 4 2014 that one over the answered so instead of going in he got creeped out he walked a couple of walks to a burger joint used the pay phone and called his sister they picked him up they let themselves into the back door here and discovered the bodies they ran screaming down the driveway towards us they ran across the road through where this bus is right now of this driveway on our right and up those stairs to the right and got to an apartment and they called the police and in 1973 I think it was got a seven hour life sentence with the possibility of parole in seven years so according to her her actual sentence she was eligible for parole back in 1980 she was eligible recently right and she was she was approved for parole because the governor denied every governor's Moseley event out and still still in prison yeah and I'm not she never killed anybody I'm not defending her I couldn't I can't imagine taking a knife and putting into somebody but there are a lot of people that done a lot worse than her it spent a lot less time in prison and she was approved by the prison to be released and the governor went now because it's political suicide Leslie Van Halen is now a political person to the right of it is that narrow alleyway and it's it's still there right yeah okay because it's just an optical illusion when next next two gold diggers to the right of gold diggers because it rightly gold diggers and down that alleyway is where the sound stage was now there are scenes from the movie Glen or Glenda that shows Atwood in his man clothes walking past that they had a dress 56:24 and why can across the street there were a few shops over here that he was sort of looking in the windows up so if you ever to see the movie you can match up that sign that furniture 98 cent sign you can match those signs up in the movie and that doorway the 5624 doorway is still there and so the actual soundstage where they shot it is down this was the shot plan 9 or head what that would write down there's a porta potti down there now this is still the same because you can still say it says how they grow band steel on either side of the gates and the flagpole is there same as though and it looks a lot like it did when Marilyn was a little girl and she lived here two different times in her life because her mother was a film cutter in RK out which is now paramount over you know with that glow boys that's the old RKO globe so her mother was a film cutter and but she couldn't be with her mother because her mother was institutionalized for a lot of it so anyway the legend about Marilyn staring out the second-story window of the orphanage watching down the alley it the lights for RKO studios and dreaming have become a movie star oh yeah check that out you can see the water tower down the alleyway the story the stories are true from the window you can see the water tower carrying carpenter got our first drum set right in the side this place that's now called Stein on vine this is the I mean ever this is Lex where the Wrecking Crew used to buy theirs yes everybody did yeah corner unit not the very top because she didn't like the top forks just two pots and she kept her name and number published in the phone book until she died this is where Mae West passed away she owned the building and then here's a phone number from the 1968 telephone directory 570 North rushmore and if you look that now leasing sign is the same phone number Oh what about 390 yeah it originally wasn't here it was moved here yeah the original Willard house not the one with Crispin Glover not the remake but the original there's great shots of it that where they are actually you know in the Addams Family to you know Carolyn Jones and which was family whatever I need 77 reunion movie it was like 12 15 years after the show enough the air everyone who was still alive was in it the only one that was dead was blossom Rock employed the grandmother this house here belonged to Judy Garland from Wizard of Oz right there toto could have been frolicking in the Artie so in the movies they used this all they built an exterior on the soundstage too but they use this for a lot of outside shots if you ever seen that the end of the movie whatever happened to Baby check your features show that making of it has in 1989 there's a show on television called my sister Sam is that it start Pam Dawber David no and a 21 year old actress named Rebecca Schaeffer our Rebecca Schaeffer had a stalker named Robert John Bardo who hired a private detective to get her home an address the detective went to the DMV the Department of Motor Vehicles he paid the fee which I think was like two bucks got her home address it gave it to her stalker the address was 120 North Sweetzer it's just around the corner on the left you'll see a sort of a tudor style building it was a Tuesday morning and Bardot approached the front door it's just a sign let's build a good little archway right here and and he rang her doorbell they didn't have an intercom so she came down and opened the door and spoke to him for a moment signed an autograph for him and he left he went to get something to eat a couple of blocks from here so then he returned an hour later rang the bell again and this time she came down and said you're wasting my time now please leave me alone he said I forgot to give you this and he pulled a thrift 350 out of a plastic bag and shot her three times I have a dozen people heard the scream she turned her seemed to see her slumped in the driveway or in the doorway right there and take off between those two buildings into the alleyway and he got away until the next day they nobody was gonna stop the lunatic with a gun that just shot the chick can't blame him this was the old valet area of a place called Chasen's where the drink the Shirley Temple was originated father was Dominick Dunne near the crime writer the oldest sister and poltergeist part of the poltergeist what do you think about the poltergeist curse I don't I don't a lot of people buy into now she was trying to break it off with him she dumped him and she was inside I was running lines she was in a show called be a news show and he came back here her boyfriend came back here why did why I'm blanking on his name now I don't know but anyway he came and knocked on the door now David Packer was the actor he was inside with her and she says wait here how many watts I talked to him so out here they started screaming and Packer was she told him to stay inside so he was just staying there inside and he heard him screaming so he made a phone call to somebody saying if something happens this is the guy who did it to him he looks
