10050 Cielo Drive Walk-Through, Sharon Tate's House, December 1993 - Part 1

This walk-through was recorded in December of 1993. I bought this from eBay years ago and cannot remember the source. Just posting for fans of Sharon Tate

[@Alice-ov3rd]

Despite its history, the house was much more beautiful in my opinion than the mansion they put in its place.

[@marythompson3658]

Al C very true/this house was beautiful/I don't like the new one

[@tjp2109]

I think most people would agree. What's there is just now a monstacity. It's revolting. It makes me throw up a little. But you have to understand that I don't think they could find a buyer that didn't want to tear it down, I'm guessing. The view is just too spectacular to let the property just sit there decaying.

the fact that Trent Reznor set up a recording studio not only in the house where those murders took place, but in the SAME ROOM where the murders took place/bodies were found is fucking crazy. that recording console is positioned right where they found Sharon's body.

His choice I guess. I don’t see a problem with it, as it was 20+ years after the fact.

[@OnTheFritz602]

I agree Mike. And he recorded Marylin Manson right there. Makes me nearly vomit, especially when I hear the tune "Beautiful People" on the radio. Have to change stations. Absolutely disturbing and disgusting. And took the front door when he vacated. No explanation required regarding the door.

[@victimlesscrimes]

@@OnTheFritz602 So he recorded there and took the front door. I don't see an issue here. Trent was a rebellious, young, and aspiring musician in a genre (Metal/Industrial) that used graphic violence & sexuality regularly throughout the eighties & nineties. Therefore, none of this should come as a shock, at least to those that're fans of the genre. It is sad what occurred there nearly 52 years ago, but the mastermind and his minions were apprehended and justice was ultimately served.

[@Trouble-Clef]

The final resident of the original house was the musician Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Reznor rented the house in 1992 and set up a recording studio there. This studio, dubbed "Pig" (sometimes called "Le Pig") in a reference to murderer Susan Atkins' writing "Pig" in Tate's blood on the front door of the house, was the site of recording sessions for most of the Nine Inch Nails album The Downward Spiral (1994). The band also recorded the EP Broken and filmed the video for "Gave Up" at 10050 Cielo Drive. Marilyn Manson recorded sections of the album Portrait of an American Family at the in-house studio in 1992. Despite the murder’s there was such rich history in that house, it’s too bad it was torn down for a “modern” home. The houses were razed in 1994.

[@markbowman6655]

It's rather sad and scary when you think of the Hell that happened that night Abigail Folger (coffee heiress) wearing a white dress that appeared as if it was red tracked down on the lawn after fleeing from the house pleaded to her attacker "I'm already dead" Linda Kasabian hearing the blood curdling screams the only one with a driver's license outside pleaded with Susan Atkins to "make it stop" Atkins replied "It's already too late." Poor Sharon begging to wanting to have her baby and the evil Atkins reply "I have no sympathy for you bitc# and your going to die." I always thought it was horrible CA abolished the death penalty, as if there was ever a death penalty case this was was it.

[@TheAnnieG07]

Jodi Arias was equally evil and deserving of the death penalty. Also, she couldn’t use “drugs” as an excuse for her savagery as the Manson girls did. Jodi could have been a member of that clan easily.

[@DavidSmith-uj9hq]

I disagree let them rot in a cell their whole life, let them watch their life pass them by and wonder what could have been. Depressing for them I'm sure

[@gardensofthegods]

I think that's why it is so appalling Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails recorded their album there . He was known to be in the occult back then and a bling on the dark side . I really believe he was doing some kind of horrendous energy-harvesting of the horror and fear and trying to put all that energy into his album to make it successful ..which indeed it was . Really bad karma also

This happened when I was 10 we lived about two miles from the house It was the multiple locations Like where they threw the bloody clothes and knives That we would pass all the time that freaked me out it felt like they had been everywhere . Combined with the daily freak show on the news . I still don't like being up there all these years later

[@a916LEX]

Such a beautiful property it was.

[@marciathehooligan3861]

I think the caretaker heard everything. And he had Sharon's dogs with him (Chris was a temperamental Weimariener) and you know those dogs had to be barking like crazy! I think he didn't speak out of fear cause he saw the killers through the window or he blocked it out cause it was so traumatic

[@icecreamforcrowhurst]

MARCI'A THE HOOLIGAN yes, I totally agree with this. He would’ve known something was up and probably saw Abigail Folger being stabbed on the lawn and went into hiding. He must’ve been terrified

[@vanillacreem816]

Agreed, I think he saw and heard everything but he must have been terrified . Can’t blame him, those killers were maniacs. Too bad there were no cell phones in those days. He could have called the police right away without them knowing.

[@RG-hf4et]

Didn't the caretaker have a phone to call the police?

[@jessicapazo7718]

When they showed the view of the front lawn or yard all I could see is the image of the crime scene photographs of Abigail Folger and Voyteck Frykowski their bodies lying on the ground covered in blood. The front lawn in front of the house and the living room with fireplace area creeped me out. Seeing the front door of the house was creepy also. Sharon Tate's bedroom view did not bother me really since nothing bad happened in that room. It only reminded me of when Sharon was alive and happy.

[@J0sie.e4ts.plast1c]

to all my fellow nin fans in the comments saying “was trent living here when this was tapped?” this was probably right before he moved out. he officially left the house in december of 1993, which if u look in the title. thats when it was taken. at 3:46 you can see a man that looks to be james wooly, aka the keyboardist of nin. beside him i think thats possibly chris vrenna but i cannot tell. then 3 seconds later, at 3:49 you can see what looks to the the recording room. at 3:53 you can actually hear what sounds to be trent saying “this sure will look bigger in the photos.” at 4:38 theres a chair that looks to be the same one in the “happiness in slavery” music video. i cant tell if its the same one cuz of the god awful camera quality but it possibly could be it. at 4:40 that is 100% chris vrenna with a woman and either james or trent (cannot tell cuz their backwards, probably james because trent is short as hell.) and a random woman. u can hear a man then say “hey uh chris” at 4:42. at 4:58 there looks to be another (?) recording room then the first one shown. its bigger then the first and im pretty sure this is where the “gave up” music video was filmed. at 5:30 you can see a painting of Jesus that was painted by John Wayne Gacy. if im correct trent used to collect some murderbillia .and a painting that looks almost like a long lost brother of the downward spiral album cover. possibly the same artist. anyways could u tell i really like nin lol?

I have a piece of that fireplace! Obviously, the interior of the house was very outdated, even here in 1993, but it's still terrible that it was demolished. A few renovations and the home would have been perfect.

[@cindyinnew]

10050 Cielo had what was widely considered the best views in Los Angeles County. And it was very private. There was a path that bordered the outside of the split rail fence that contained steps down to the fruit trees and other vegetation in the property. No one behind the property as the house was situated directly against the hill. Now there is a multi homesite development up above the property with some of LA’s most expensive homes being built.

[@gardensofthegods]

Pretty sure its from when Trent Reznor/ Nine Inch Nails cut an album there in the living room where Sharon Tate was murdered... pretty screwed up actually . Was he enjoying the thought of the horror ?

[@susn1987]

i think you're reading too much into it.

[@clucka]

@@susn1987 I don't think that's reading too much into it. Trent rented the house because if it's history. There's a pic drawn by serial killer John Wayne Gacy in the house. You can see that in the video. He was drugged up and into the occult back then. Probably still is to a degree. Weird dude

[@gardensofthegods]

@@clucka Yeah , thank you ..it creeped me out when I noticed they were recording in the living room where she was murdered and I had heard about that before . Now that he's married and has kids he probably would not want someone doing that if it had been HIS loved ones murdered in that living room . Very sad .

[@gardensofthegods]

@@clucka thanks for that info ; yes he moved in there because he felt it was a part of American folklore and the story is he was confronted by Sharon Tate's sister who explained to him how she felt . Then the story is that he had a change of heart , moved out because the owner was going to have the house destroyed.... I don't know if that's true and I also don't know if it's true where people say he claimed he moved into the house first without knowing its history ..... I just find it very hard to believe he wouldn't have known it its history before he moved in . If he had told the address to anybody in L A most of them would have told him that was a House of Horrors .

[@gardensofthegods]

The original owner of the house sold it and Trent had to get out . And then the house was destroyed but before it was destroyed Trent took the front door with him as a keepsake ... you know the one where there was a message written in the Victims' Blood ... ? Somebody said he left that door with ... I think it was one of the Roadies or something ... I can't remember . And that supposedly he ended up just leaving it behind with him or something like that .

[@gardensofthegods]

Because this is where Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails film their successful album downward spiral.... and supposedly he was involved in the darker side of the occult back then . So he probably used the place for energy harvesting of all that horror and fear to put it into his album and ensure its success.... but he would not have wanted someone doing a recording if his loved ones have been murdered in that room... Bad Karma and that's why people are giving it a thumbs down .

There have been TONS of beautiful houses in LA, most with no bad history, demolished because people want to put up a new Mcmansion...Jayne Mansfield's pink palace is one that comes to mind. Beauty is subjective of course, but 99% of the time the new home is just fugly.

[@bunnyhead71]

This has been hanging around for a while now, The house I believe has since been demolished. Don't remember the back story exactly but I believe either Tori Amos or Trent Reznor had rented the house out to record which is truly pathetic to do. For no other reason than shock value, It's not like Terry Melcher had left behind a "studio room" there before selling it to Polanski. Can't remember who wound up buying that place just for the sole intent of having it torn down because they thought it was sick that it was turning into a tourist attraction (I may be wrong but for some reason I remember Marilyn Manson bought it and had it demolished..) Either way.

[@jenniferbenham7205]

Yes, they ended up tearing it down and building a mansion/monstrosity in its place. I can't remember his name, but the creator of Full House is the one who ended up buying it. I don't know if anyone is living there now.

[@bunnyhead71]

+Jennifer Laursen WOW!! Full House, boy was I off on that one. LOL...Thanks for the info Jen

[@1973Narcissus]

+bunnyhead71 You need to clear up your facts before chastising someone over this property. Terry Melcher never sold this property to Roman Polanski. Rudy Altobeli was the owner of the property and he was renting it to the Polanskis while he was away in Europe. Trent Reznor was not even aware of the history of the home until he was recording there and this is entirely possible given the crime took place ~ 25 years prior. He did keep the PIG door once he was made aware which was a shitty thing to do but he was well within his right as it was his to do so with. The real assholes in this matter, if you are looking for heads to chomp, are the men who recorded this video and mocked the death, right down to the death pose of Sharon, in the video titled Collectors. That is about as scumbag as it gets. Look it up. The assholes filming this are the same guys in the Collectors clip.

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

+1969Narcissus Don't matter. The place got torn down years ago

[@1973Narcissus]

+cubomania3 I should have been more specific regarding the door that TR took. Due to the fact that the house was about to be torn down, Reznor was allowed to keep pretty much anything in the house. Right down to the fireplace bricks. So, given that he was given the go ahead to take whatever he wanted, the door was his for the taking. That's all I meant.... Also, according the Trent, he was not aware of the homes history. Maybe he is lying about that. That door belongs in a crime museum and no place else.

[@mosesgarner2404]

Was this when Reznor was moving out? If it was he hadn't taken the front door to New Orleans yet but this looks like they were tearing down and packing up the recording gear.

[@lauraleehickman2331]

Was everything on the inside the same from when Sharon lived in the house? Or did they remodel anything on the inside?

[@snickerinmuttley1204]

@LauraLee Hickman. They didn't do any major remodeling to the main house, the grounds, or the guest house, It was the same as when Sharon lived there The only difference would be the Interior furnishings. It would've been a steal at 1.6 million in 1989, all you had to do was have the money, and outbid the guy who bought it. I would've loved to own it. I know it's scary what happened there, but I loved Sharon Tate with all my heart, I'm her biggest fan.

[@qball1of1]

@@snickerinmuttley1204 After it is cleaned up it is just like any other home. Like the Amityville house, decades of good warm memories created here were ruined by one hour or less of horror, but new ones can and are made all the time. The only horror the new owner gets is all the gawkers constantly swarming around. This place has gates and is somewhat secluded, but could you imagine living in the Amityville house?

never should have been demolished. disgusting people that did that

[@jenniferpecha4393]

Always struck by the distance between the guest house and main house. It seems impossible that Garretson didn't HEAR any of what happened (or said he didn't). It was night, would have been quiet.

[@gardensofthegods]

Probably scared out of his wits and had the door barricaded and was too scared to go out to see what was going on.... he probably heard some Screaming but would you go out there if you didn't have a gun and if you were alone ? I think he had the dogs with him and you know the dogs were probably whining and going crazy. From what I recall there was no phone in the guest house so the guy was pretty much trapped . Maybe at some point he finally did fall asleep before the maid showed up

[@jenniferpecha4393]

That shot at 4:11 thru the window, you can plainly see the guest house. Some of the carnage happened out on the lawn. How didn't the caretaker hear it???

[@qball1of1]

He heard it, and hid for his life.

[@Yeahnahyeahnahyes]

Candice Bergen recalls her time living in this house back in 1968: "At Terry’s house on Cielo Drive I felt at home. Surrounded by tall, thick pine trees and cherry blossoms, with rose-covered rail fences and a cool mountain pool grown over with flowers, it snuggled up against a hillside-a gingerbread hideout that hung high above the city. There were stone fireplaces, beamed ceilings, paned windows, a hayloft, an attic and four-poster beds. There was a cartoon-like perfection about it: You waited to find Bambi drinking from the pool, Thumper dozing in the flowers, to hear the dwarfs whistling home at the end of the day. It was a fairy-tale place, that house on the hill, a Never-Never Land far from the real world where nothing could go wrong".

[@geslinam9703]

A fairy tale place where nothing could go wrong. Well. Imagine that. Kind of like the way people describe Tate’s life. Everything so easy for her, all good things came her way....a charmed life.

[@Yeahnahyeahnahyes]

Geslina M, yes and no. She had her share of shitty things happen to her. Usually from men in her life. She was date-raped in Italy, beaten up by her French boyfriend, controlled by her manager, treated like dirt by a director, serially chested on by her spouse. And her death wasn’t too crash-hot either.

[@FRANCESGUM]

@@Yeahnahyeahnahyes Who are you talking about, here, Sharon or Candice??

[@fwdthinker]

@@Yeahnahyeahnahyes And don't forget having to deal with Voytek and Gibby. I remember reading somewhere that she actually wanted them OUT of that house because she knew they were using - and possibly dealing - drugs out of there. And actually, that motive is a lot more plausible than the whole Helter Skelter theory. I can't remember if it was one of Sharon's sisters or her mom who said it. I DO remember her mom on a talk show saying that Sharon wasn't supposed to be part of what happened that night. That the killers thought she was still out of town because he car was in the shop. Sounded like she knew something but wouldn't say it on TV. Reportedly, Peter Folger spent a LOT of money cleaning up whatever dirt was out about Gibby. Every find it funny there are hardly any pictures of her; even though she was a NY socialite? Hmmm...

@@jeremyreese9663 why? not like you were ever going to move in

[@doritos_coca-cola]

​@@jeremyreese9663 Well, Cielo Drive has become a meeting place for curious people. This house is basically on a hill, so you can imagine the feeling it gives and how it lends a more disturbing shape to what happened there, the house is not close to a street and neighborhood. The previous owner was having a hard time selling the house or something, the later residents would spend a short time there and then move out, one of them being Trent Reznor. I don't know, one could even say it was a fitting end to a land full of complicated history. But then putting that horribly ostentatious house in its place is kinda depressing.

[@ladesigner8764]

The chatter is annoying…seemed a bit disrespectful. They ruined that house. Should have kept it as it was in 1969.

[@Angelenowithacamera]

God bless Sharron. It was a beautiful home. Nine Inch Nails was recording there and it hurt Sharron's sister's feelings I think. You never ever get over a family member who goes that way. The house that was put up in its place is a big ugly monster the hill can barely hold up. All a young moms dreams were shattered here.

It was owned by Trent Reznor at the time and he was probably on tour. The next year he moved to New Orleans but took the front door that had PIG written on it. He’s a bit of a creepy guy.

[@stoneylonesome4062]

@@theblueangel1973 Yeah, I imagine he and his band mates probably partied a bit there. Same with Marilyn Manson and Machines of Loving Grace, two other industrial rock bands who had stopped by to record some material with Trent in his home studio.

[@theblueangel1973]

@Kitty Kelly all I know is that he lived there and that when he wanted to move to New Orleans, he took the door with him. I don’t know the facts or Trent Reznor BUT I imagine he new the house he was moving into. Let’s face it, it has more history than what happened that horrific night. Other amazing people stayed there, Candice Bergen ( prolly spelled last name wrong) was living there with Terry Melcher. I believe at one point she dated Elvis. Paul revere and the raiders had a lot of famous photographs taken there. It was a beautiful home overlooking LA, and was worth $200,000 at the time which would be $1.5 million today when the average house cost $20,000 in 1969. I wish there were more video of the famous house Jay Sebring lived in honestly.

no, its because transferring footage degrades it. if the tape was new and streight from the source into a good monitor it would look a lot better.

The original tape is old and shitty now but if I had a copy close to the original we could clean it up and upscale it.

Yeah that's why there was all of those sound boards and recording equipment in there. That's exactly when Reznor and Manson were up there recording. I believe they were up there even into 94'. I wish I could find some videos or photos of them recording in there. I think that they may have possibly been the last tenets there before the place was demolished (I'm pretty sure it was torn down in 94' or 95' at the latest)
