Beverly Hills Witch's House
Originally built as an office and set for silent films at Willat Studios in Culver City, the Witch's House was moved to Beverly Hills and became a private residence in 1926. When the current owner started a small remodel, he ended up fully renovating and removing just about every right angle, replacing them with curves and details truly fitting of a proper Witch's House. Eye on L.A. got an exclusive, first-time look inside the iconic home which draws over 3500 trick-or-treaters every Halloween.
