Malice in Wonderland

May 6th, 2010 Posted in Posts by John Simcoe, Movies, Weird News, Nostalgia

griffith_observatory.jpgBeing a pop culture junkie, PQH! naturally has a certain fascination with the greater Los Angeles area.

If you watch enough movies and TV shows, you actually get familiar with all sorts of L.A. landmarks from the La Brea Tarpits to the Griffith Park Observatory.

Those places are pretty nice and PQH! would actually want to visit them if we ever vacationed in the City of Angels.

But until now, that’s all I could do for those landmarks. Just visit.

That all can change now, because I’ve found a L.A. landmark that you can rent and even live in.

Here’s the listing of a lovely home in Laurel Canyon.

WonderlandTwo bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Off-street parking. Not bad for $2,500 a month in one of the U.S.’ most expensive communities.

The only problem? It was the scene of a quadruple murder, and not just any quadruple murder, but the infamous “Wonderland” murder — the one that involved legendary porn star John Holmes and a gang of drug dealers.

According to this forum post, the place has been on the market since at least mid-April and the owner has already dropped the price by $300 a month.

It’s a deal for L.A., but it’s certainly a deal with a one heck of a catch.
