What To Expect

Sunset Boulevard

We begin the tour with a look back at the Wonderland Gang murders. How did one of the the most brutal crimes in LA history happen and who was involved? We will also discuss Ramon Novarro and the Zankou Chicken Murders in this area!

The Sunset Trocadero Lounge

This will be one of several stops where we discuss the gangster of old LA. Hear about the final moments of the "Ice Cream Blonde" Thelma Todd and her run in with "Lucky" Luciano.

Sunset Strip

Now you're really getting into the Sunset Strip. Hollywood moguls and stars come to play at these world famous clubs and hotels. Some play a little too hard...

Comedy Store

The biggest names in comedy all cover the exterior of the Comedy Store. On any given night, you could see superstar comedians trying new jokes or discover a comic to watch. But what was here before the store? And do the violent actions of the past carry on today? Let's find out!

Sunset Plaza

We continue down more of the Strip while discussing Charles Manson, the Sunset Killers, and the curse of "Rebel Without a Cause" (we will even go to the spot where a Hollywood star took his final walk.)

The Viper Room

Our most murder filled true crime tour ends by the Viper Room to remember River Phoenix and to discuss the dangers (and allure) of the Hollywood lifestyle!

Chris is an AMAZING story teller! We had so much fun I’d do it again for sure. He needs to write a book. He had so much eye contact and really kept you held into the stories. Loved this so so so much!

We had a great time on our two hour walking tour down Sunset Blvd. our guide, Chris was super knowledgeable about all things relating to our tour as well as all of Los Angeles and he was eager to answer any questions we had about the haunts of the Sunset Strip or wider questions around Los Angeles. Thanks Chris!
