The Other Side Of Tinseltown

Hollywood was built on dreams — and broken on tragedy. Behind every star on the Walk of Fame is a story the studios never wanted told: overdoses, unsolved murders, doomed relationships, and ghosts that locals say still walk the lots, hotels, and clubs of Tinseltown.

Our California walks pair Los Angeles Times archives with first-person interviews of working studio insiders, longtime residents, and the staff at the haunted hotels and bars themselves. The flagship Hollywood Boulevard Ghost Walk runs nightly at 7:30pm, with paranormal investigations and bachelorette tours by request.
