Lights, camera, MURDER! Explore Hollywood and uncover the dark secrets of this world-famous neighborhood.

Explore the dark underbelly of Hollywood with the ultimate Haunted Hollywood walking tour. As the sun sets over Hollywood, you will be led on a fright-filled walk down the Boulevard of Broken Dreams to visit haunted hotels, theatres, and landmarks.

If you love Hollywood, the paranormal, or true crime - this is the tour for you! This 2-hour walking tour was written by the same guide as Slaughter on the Sunset Strip and Haunted Hollywood - LA's highest-rated true crime and paranormal walking tours. The tour has been updated with a new route, videos, stories, and locations you won't find on any other Hollywood walking tours.

The tour meets in front of Ben and Jerry's on Hollywood Blvd, where the smell of freshly made waffle cones can lure you into a false sense of security... but the old architecture of the mall connects back to Hollywood's scandalous past. Views of the haunted Hollywood Sign lead to stories about spectres at the Chinese Theatre and Roosevelt Hotel. Your guide will divulge the secrets of the elusive Magic Castle. This tour will let you know where the true ghosts reside, while calling out some of the false hauntings around Hollywood.

It's not all ghosts on the tour, though; we will spend time discussing some of LA's most known - and unknown - Hollywood crimes. Stars of old and new Hollywood are featured throughout the experience and, with stories like the Black Dahlia and the Manson Murders, this tour has enough intrigue to make any would-be detective ready to pull out the pen and paper!

Whether you're visiting LA for the first time or have lived here your whole life, this tour is sure to make you see Hollywood in a whole new light. From ghosts to mobsters to serial killers, Hollywood has more than its share of secrets. Come uncover them with us!

This is a 2-hour walking tour that begins at the Ovation Hollywood mall and ends near Boardners. It is a very short walk back to our meeting point (under 10 mins.)

This tour contains stories and descriptions of some of LA's most gruesome crimes. Please be aware of this before bringing young children.

We cover about 1 mile. Wear shoes that you are comfortable walking around in for an extended time.

Parking? There is a lot of parking throughout the Hollywood area. Street meters tend to be only 2 hrs and you will not want to be worrying about that during the tour, so we recommend a parking lot. The Ovation Hollywood complex has a large underground lot and we start the tour right there. Stores like Walgreens will validate parking as well, saving you a few dollars.

Do we go into buildings? When possible, yes. However, many restaurants and hotels do not want large groups of tours coming through, describing all the people that died there... which is understandable!

Will my kids like this? We do not recommend this for children under 13. Some of the descriptions of the crimes can be quite vivid, and the content of the tour is really meant for a bit of an older crowd. But, if you let your teen watch the occasional R rated movie, you will be fine.

What is included? We supply the guide and the knowledge. You just show up, ready to have fun and learn about LA's terrifying history.

Is it ok to tip? Yes! Our guides work very hard to ensure that everyone is having a good time. They are a resource to you, not just for the tour, but for your whole trip! Ask them about the neighborhood, get recommendations for your trip, and make friends with a local that loves their city. A tip can be a great way to show that you appreciate the work they put in to making your time in LA the best it can possibly be.
