Abandoned for 60 years after a tragic murder-suicide, this Los Angeles murder house finally gets the

Thursday! Watch Stacy make a guest appearance on the show Ghost Adventures! Check it out on Discovery+ or 10pm on Travel Channel. This investigation is a 2 part special that has waited years to be able to do! Can’t wait to see how it turned out!!
Got $5.5 million to spend on your new dream home?? The Los Feliz Murder Mansion is BACK on the market! Take a look at the listing online, where images of the proposed plans have been posted. This home was going to be absolutely spectacular! But the current owners may have gotten in over their heads, or maybe it was too difficult to get permits from the city? Either way, the fact that this property is back on the market, and yet again not lived in, is evidence that this place may indeed be cursed after all. What do you think??
Something’s in the works, ya’ll!
We’re so excited to be featured in Apple’s new curated content, “Darkside: Once Upon a Time In… Los Angeles.” What a cool thing and such an honor!
A shoot day in 2016 with our rag tag crew
The holidays are upon us, and while there’s no photograph of the Christmas tree that legend had it was in the living room of The Los Feliz Murder Mansion, we do have this photo of a young owner of the property, Rudy Enriquez, in front of his family Christmas tree circa 1940.
This is how I spent roughly 9 months of my 2020, during Covid lock down. After working all day editing an HGTV show, then spending a few hours with my one year old, I’d be here on the couch, writing my 250 page script for the podcast. Then it was recording in the closet, and back to the couch for editing! Oh and some pets got in the mix there too. What a wild ride!
Legit spooky.
The staircase window (aka the third floor of The Los Feliz Murder Mansion) is admittedly preeeeetty scary at 4:36am.
The keys to The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. Would you be absolutely freaking out like we were when these were handed to us for our film shoot back in 2016? 🤯
October 12, 2013: first visit to The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. This moment changed everything for us.
Judy’s room, with Wes snapping a pic of the light switch plate. There are 2 closets in here, and off to the right are French doors that lead to a tiny caged in balcony.
We love continually being featured in Apple Podcasts’ curated True Crime: New Shows category. Such a special honor for our little indie podcast!
The peacock wallpaper mural, handmade by K.M. Patton sometime in the 1930’s, in all its glory. Notice how it takes up the entirety of the wall, with even some branches off to the left of the doorway.
And an interesting tidbit about this mural: it’s not of a peacock at all, but in fact a pheasant. Now it’s unmistakable to me, and I can’t believe I missed it before. But this info came to me from lovely listener and it was an eye opener for me. You can really tell by looking at the tail feathers. Pheasants in cherry trees were a common subject of Chinoiserie art back when this mural would have been commissioned in the 1930’s.
Somehow, in the densely packed residential hills of Los Feliz, the Los Feliz Murder Mansion feels like it stands alone.
Boxes of records, boxes of shoes, a bird cage. Just some of the items seen on the second floor landing outside the bedroom doors of the Los Feliz Murder Mansion during the era of Rudy Enriquez’s ownership. The doorway at the back of the photo goes to the master bedroom, the one on the left leading to Judy’s.

Death records, anyone?
On July 26th, 1932 Hazel Devlin got married without her family’s permission, and this move would end up costing her the estate of her adopted parents, The Schumachers, builders of The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. Hazel’s story is a sad one, and certainly not the kind of tale we thought we would uncover in court records during our investigation. Listen to Episode 4 to hear more of Hazel’s story.
Creepy house, amazing DP. Here’s our Director of Photography extraordinaire, Chloe grabbing some exterior shots of the house back in 2016!
In Episode 4 of our podcast series we heard about all the residents who lived and died in The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. Donald Beaton was just 3 months shy of his 21st birthday when he passed away at 2475 Glendower Place of a fungal infection. But don’t be fooled by this LA Times article, because court and death records confirm that the address printed here is in fact a typo. “2457 Glendower Place” does not exist and young Donald indeed died at the notorious murder house in 1931. Such a sad end for someone so young.
The historic LA County Coroner’s Office, built in 1878, once had a gift shop called Skeletons In The Closet. In Episode 3 of our series you heard about my trip down to this place, though sadly the gift shop has since closed. Dead body chalk outline beach towel, anyone?
Here’s the ball peen hammer seen by a real estate agent at the broker’s open that was detailed in Episode 5 of our podcast series. 1959 Perelson murder weapon? Not likely. But an exciting moment for anyone who might think that, that’s for sure!
Very excited to share this story by Uncover Los Angeles! Feeling honored to be featured in this local publication.
After seven years of investigating the infamous house, Astenius solved the mystery and can confirm one thing: "The truth is stranger than fiction."
Here’s a look into how we shot our documentary interviews. We used a two-camera, two-teleprompter technique, made popular by documentary filmmaker Errol Morris, called the Interrotron. The interview subject looks right down the camera lens, but they don’t actually see the lens at all, they only see Stacy’s face as she conducts her interview. This unique effect makes for very intimate interviews, where camera disappears, and only a mere conversation is being had between subject and interviewer.
Mad props to our cinematographer Chloe Weaver Bennett for implementing and perfecting this technique on all our shoots. Our interviews are something absolutely next level thanks to her expertise.
The vanity under the stairs! In Episode 6 of our series we heard about an area under the famous staircase that had been missed by many. A door under the stairs led to a small area with a vanity and some storage, an odd little space that was obscured by boxes and belongings before it was finally cleared out.
We’re excited to share that tomorrow at 4pm PST, Chloe and Stacy will join “L.A. Not So Confidential” podcasts hosts, Dr. Scott and Dr. Shiloh, for a fun chat all about our favorite infamous murder house! Head to for the details!
Some great shots by in the living room of The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. Does that look like some kind of record player in that first image? And those yellow chairs are basically iconic. My guess is that Lillian Perelson purchased them herself in 1956, and they never moved one inch until 2016 when the house was finished cleared out and sold.

Our little indie podcast has been featured in the NY Post and this is VERY exciting for us!!

The creepy 1959 horror film, “The House On Haunted Hill,” starring the king of horror himself, Vincent Price, was filmed directly behind The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. Built by famed architect, Frank Lloyd Wright in 1924, and known as The Ennis House, you can actually see this property from the front steps of The Los Feliz Murder Mansion. The film “House On Haunted Hill” was released February 17, 1959, but no one could possibly know that only a mere 10 months later, the other house on the hill right below would see its own horrors. #losfelizmurdermansion #losfelizmurderhouse #thelosfelizmurdermansionpodcast #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #losfeliz #2475glendowerplace #vincentprice #1950shorror #classichorrormovies #houseonhauntedhill
In front of the peacock mural was where the Perelson’s twin beds were, and where Lillian’s body was found by police. Off to the right is the connecting bathroom where Harold took a lethal dose of pills and then laid down to die on his daughter Judy’s bed, also connected through this bathroom. #losfelizmurdermansion #losfelizmurderhouse #thelosfelizmurdermansionpodcast #truecrime #truecrimecommunity #truecrimepodcast #losfeliz #2475glendowerplace #losangelesmurder #murdersuicide #crimescene
