BOTD: Natalie Wood would be 83 today, July 20. Tomorrow morning I leave for Catalina Island to retrace Natalie Wood's last steps and Marilyn Monroe's first. I hope to get a lot of really great footage for my next video "The Drowning of Natalie Wood" (Episode 8). Be sure to catch on the 1-7.
I'm excited to announce my latest issue, Dead in Hollywood: Behind the Sign (Issue 20)!! Twenty Tinseltown Tinglers to keep the hairs on your arm up at night.

Here it is! A lot of love and a LOT of time went into Episode 6. I hope you all enjoy it! Go behind the sign to Halloween night 1993... the night River Phoenix died on the pavement outside of the Sunset Strip nightclub the Viper Room. I thought I know the whole story, I had no idea.
Dead in Hollywood: Behind the Sign is a true-crime vlog on Youtube (Be sure to subscribe!). Episode 1 was an experiment as you will see. But I had a lot of fun making it and I think it’s a nice overview of Dead in Hollywood and the story of Peg Entwistle, the only person ever to have committed suicide by jumping off the letter ‘H’ of the Hollywood Sign. Join us this Friday for RIVER PHOENIX DIED HERE (EPISODE 7).
Go behind the sign to the night 1930's actress Thelma Todd died in her lover's estranged wife's garage. Was it suicide? An accident? Or was the Ice Cream Blonde murdered? The list of suspects is long…

In September 2018, I retraced Zodiac's footsteps from San Francisco to Lake Herman Road to Lake Berryessa and back. The zine will include hundreds of never-before-seen photos of the actual Zodiac locations and the strange events during the road trip - starting with a near-drowning at Lake Berryessa! Until then, check out Zodiac Zine: The Lake Herman Road Murders (vol. 1) and its companion I Like Killing People & Writing Letters: The Complete Zodiac Letters & Ciphers.
On the evening of October 30, 1968, two young hustlers rang the doorbell at 3110 Laurel Canyon Drive in the Hollywood Hills. A 69-year-old man greeted them in a red and blue robe. Once upon a time in Hollywoodland, the man was one of the greatest Latin heartthrobs. Now frail, and looking like a "Spanish grandee," the man invited the hustlers inside - "a burly young man of 22 and a slender twink of 17--his murderers." By morning, the man would be dead, badly beaten, and having choked to death on his own blood.
Can anyone guess where I was filming today? I’ll give you a clue: 2.12.21
DEAD IN HOLLYWOOD: BEHIND THE SIGN - EPISODE 3! 2.12.21
Sharon Tate would be 78 today. The first time I watched "Valley of the Dolls" was at the Texas Theatre in Dallas, where, decades earlier, Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for President Kennedy's assassination. The film "War is Hell" was stopped for Oswald's arrest. I spent the summer after 8th-grade reading "Helter Skelter" on the grassy knoll, in the shadow of the Texas Book Depository. Right away, I was fascinated with Tate. She was born in Dallas, and I grew up one town over in Arlington.
When I first moved to L.A., I read Sharon Tate and the Manson Murders by Greg King at Tate's grave at Holy Cross Catholic Cemetery. What better place to read up on your dead idol than at their grave? I've dedicated two zines to Tate's life, death, and final resting place. FOR MORE, GET THE ZINE!
