- You guys are the ones.

- Mr. Granny-visited-Mom.

You guys are overreacting

It's a light.

- Whoo! No no no!

- Walk around the front

- Oh God.

- Oh Sh*t!

All right, I'm getting

the f*** out of here.

- Enough is enough.

- Big bugs, big bugs!

- That was enough.

- Should we see the front of the house?

Cockroach

Where are you f***ing going?

I'm not-- no.

Oh Sh*t. Sh*t

Don't sweat

Oh Sh*t

F***ing bad sh*t.

Let's get the f*** out of here

- Okay, come on

- Okay.

That truck scared the sh*t outta me

All right, f***.

I'm getting outta here

- We're f***ing getting outta here

- My heart is beating so fast.

- We're f***ing getting outta here

- My heart is beating so fast.

My heart is, like, seriously pounding

- F***, me too.

- How funny was the cockroach?

No, that's not even--

Um, okay,

this is the Houdini house

And... "On a dark night

around 1918,

a full moon was gazing down

upon the Hollywood Hills.

On a rugged hillside stood

a Gothic castle-like mansion

that had been built several years before

by the wealthy owner of one

of the city's largest furniture stores

And on one of the night--

er, on Halloween

they were having a party

And all of these people

were, like, costumed and going

And his son

decided to escape the party

so that he could go up to...

the back balcony so he could

hang out with his lover.

And it was a time when,

obviously, gay men couldn't

- Yeah.

- ...be known

And "They were having

a romantic moment

and then for some reason

an argument ensued.

The orchestra had just

taken an intermission

when a scream filled the air

The heir to the furniture fortune

had pushed his young lover

off the balcony and his body

now lay in a pool of blood?

There was no question

as to who had killed the man,

but the father nevertheless

hired the best lawyer

that money could buy

In an effort to save his son,

he spent nearly every dime that he had

paying off policemen, prosecutors

and event-- and the event--

he paid off the trial judge himself

Finally it was ruled that

there was insufficient evidence

- to prosecute the furniture heir

- How convenient.

"...and the man

and the family name were saved

But unfortunately the house was

sacrificed to save the son's life.

And this was not the first tragedy-

or this was the first tragedy

to occur that could be connected

to the Gothic mansion,

but it would not be the last

In fact it has been said

that the place is cursed

and that all those who

have occupied the house

were plagued by bad luck

and disaster."

- Okay.

- "In addition to the murder,

other strange events have taken place

here over the years.

Many of those have involved

the man who purchased the house

from the furniture store owner

His name was Harry Houdini

and he lived in the mansion

during his short career with the

fledgling movie industry in the 1920s

That's so cool. "While he lived

in the house and became a frequent

host to sances,

strange experiments and more,

some say this cursed castle

may have finally cost

the famous mag-- magician his life

- That's the word.

- When you're holding sances

Not-- mm-hmm

Well, apparently

the young lovers cast a spell

I wonder if we can see

the balcony where he fell off

Is this the street?

Just let these people pass

Huh? No. That was the street

We passed it.

- Oh.

- I just-- I can't park on Laurel

That would be really stupid

- Okay.

- All right, let's go

- Leave the parking brake on.

- 2398, remember that number

What did I do with the--

did I get a light?

Oh Sh*t

Out of the road!

- Oh sh*t.

- Book it, book it, book it

Go go go go go.

Oh, dude, look at this.

Holy sh*t, dude

Wait, how do we get in?

This is-- it's got cameras. Look

Yeah, it definitely has cameras

and it's padlocked.

So it's not gonna happen?

Dude, yeah

'cause after the cameras

I needed the padlock to convince me

Look at the cat, dude.

I know I feel like

it keeps looking at me

- Jesus

- Wow.

Way up this drive,

look at this f***ing huge house

This is so massive

I would classify this

as a mansion.

- It's freezing out here.

- It's got big f***ing spiders on it

I just walked through

a spider web.

You should see what's on the cat

Private property

Right to pass by

permission and subject

to control by owner."

Let's buzz in!

I definitely couldn't live

in one of these houses after

- If it wasn't 11 :25, I'd buzz in.

- ...something happened here

Okay, let's--

what we're gonna do

Are we gonna take

the sidewalk now?

No, we'll cross on that side

so at least we can see

around there.

And then we run across the street

There's a sidewalk.

- But we gotta like be kinda--

- Stealth about it?

--Not-- no, not stealth

EH-ii,

- We don't have to be quiet and fast

- Not stealth, fast!

We can be loud and fast

We just gotta be--

Just wave your arms a lot.

I think, like, everybody should

start running right now.

Oh Sh*t

Jordan almost got hit

by a f***ing car.

I didn't almost get hit by a car.

I wasn't going to run in front of it

Okay, George Reeves.

"Los Angeles police..."

Okay, George Reeves.

"Los Angeles police..."

- Who?

- "...arrive at the home

of 45-year-old--

Sorry, what's the address?

Sorry, I didn't mean to--

- 1579 Benedict.

- Okay, so we have to keep going. Sorry

Okay. "1959, Los Angeles police arrive

at the home of 45-year-old actor

George Reeves, famous for his role

- as TV s Superman..."

- Arrive to destination

"...and find him naked and dead

of a gunshot wound to the head.

Ruled as a suicide,

Reeves' death inspires

a series of conspiracy theories?

And the interpretive biopic

'Hollywoodland'

as well as a persistent urban legend

itself famously known

as 'The Superman Curse

The renters revealed that one night

while entertaining guests

in the living room

they heard noises.

The bedroom-- Reeves' bedroom--

previously neat and orderly was a mess

Linens torn off the bed

clothes strewn around

They straightened the room

and returned downstairs

to find that all the drinks

on the coffee tables

had been moved into the kitchen

Another time the couple's

German shepherd barked

- at the bedroom door furiously

- At least he's clean.

Then suddenly cowered and slunk away

as the tenants peeked inside

and discovered the bed

had been moved across the room

The last straw came

around 3:
00 a.m. one summer morning

when the apparent ghost of Reeves,

dressed in his TV Superman costume,

appeared in the living room and within

the hour the tenants had moved out."

Is that it?

That's really pretty

- Is that his bedroom?

- Yeah, that's where he shot himself

Holy sh*t

Wait, there's something--

- F***.

- Yeah, well

this was--

this was everybody's idea

- Oh

- So.

- So...

- Are we gonna try to go inside?

That's George Reeves

Okay, we gotta, like,

make up our minds.

Like, are you gonna go or not?

Come on, Steph.

You know what?

Go go.

Because you're so brave
