Duration: 3 hours (approx.)
Location: Los Angeles, California
Product code: 2552DDT
No city in the world has a more colorful and sordid history than Hollywood and nowhere else have so many famous (and infamous) people moved over to the "other side". See the location of the Manson Family's murder of Sharon Tate and the Chateau Marmont - scene of John Belushi's final party. This is only a taste of the 100+ things you'll see and hear on this thoroughly entertaining and fascinating tour.
Your Director of Undertakings will guide you through decades of death, murder, and just plain fun. Once your tour um... departs, you will be treated to the most tickling tales of tinsel town tragedies, in the cool comfort of the luxurious Dearly Departed Tomb Buggy.
In two and a half hours, you will be escorted to such infamous locations such as:
- The Manson Murders (Sharon Tate's home PLUS the LaBianca site)
- Events of a more scandalous nature
- The REAL Nightmare on Elm Street (The Menendez home)
- And of course, that chick that jumped off the Hollywood Sign
There is one restroom stop where you can drop your trousers and reenact George Michael's most scandalous moment. A complimentary copy of his arrest report will be provided to all guests.
You will also see several film locations such as Sunset Boulevard, Halloween, The Graduate, That Thing You Do, Dead Again, Grease, and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.
But wait... there's more! You'll see the last gasp locations of Frank Sinatra, Rebecca Schaefer, River Phoenix, Dee Dee Ramone, Albert Dekker, Bela Lugosi, and Mae West.
All in all, almost 100 sites are crammed into 3 hours, making it the best bang for your buck!
