[@TheDailyWoo]

Big thanks to Scott Michaels from Dearly Departed for taking time out of his day to show us around . If you are ever in the Los Angeles area stop in and check out the museum . Tell em Adam The Woo sent ya

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

TheDailyWoo tell em' large Marge sent ya" 😂 morning adam! Another awesome vlog

[@MarkFunJones]

Awesome history thanks for showing us ✊🏻

[@TheRor]

Adam so happy you finally did dearly departed. I knew you would enjoy these tours.

[@catinaclaytor3245]

good morning from flint mich

[@RhettyforHistory]

TheDailyWoo His knowledge is impressive! What a tour!

[@t.wil.9646]

Leslie Van Houten is NOT a political prisoner. She was CONVICTED of two counts of murder and one count of conspiracy! I remember her walking to court singing and laughing with no remorse at all. DISGUSTING!

[@ericluriergo8251]

She actually never killed anyone-just stabbed an already dead Mrs. LoBianca in the buttocks. There are MANY criminals who did much Much MUCH worse and did hardly any time at all!!!!

[@BunnymanVids]

Sadly they're now out of business

[@manueltovar6771]

Dude 3 of my favorite people on KZbin at once!! Shot out to to Jordan the lion and carpet bagger !!! Woop woop !!! No way this was planned huh? Lol

[@Fostermom4chis]

I really don't give a rat's patootie if Leslie Van Houghten never gets out. She WAS an active participant in those murders. Time & storytelling has diluted the gruesomeness of those murders and turned them into folklore in an effort to negate how horrible it was an amass sympathy for the perpetrators. That, in itself, is an abomination!

[@kub71raim]

I remember that Rebecca Schaeffer story. Horrible. I believe she was dating director Brad Silberling at the time of her death. It was because of this tragic incident that laws were passed on how people could obtain addresses through the DMV.

[@misskiss75]

I remember that so well when it happened. I liked that show. That was cool to see where it happened

[@jmason2838]

Accessing names and addresses of anyone through any d.m.v. office is now illegal ... anywhere in the U.S.A. .. no exceptions .. it became federal law.. enacted after her murder.. pertaining to the whole country..not just CA. May beautiful , talented , Sweet Rebecca Schaefer ⚰️😭 Rest in Sweet Peace..🙏🏼🕯️🌹..and may that maggot bardo convicted of killing her find his karma.. hey maggot bardo🍀 it's patiently waiting.. ☯️..✝️

[@jmason2838]

Newsflash : no person can access any d.m.v. info on people anymore ..

[@jmason2838]

'how people can access'.. under what circumstances ?!? ? there is no 'how' anymore. it's just over ...no more access... period..

[@bmm7132]

Now the internet can give you all the information which is very dangerous 😳 ☠️

[@trinapatterson8905]

This is so awesome! All of you guys together, really cool!

[@brianbarcus5853]

I Love these tours. Not everyone can visit Hollywood to see these sights, the tours show a lot of cool places worth seeing. More tours Adam.

[@ExplorationUnknown]

Good morning Adam I hope you are having a great day. I love the vlogs man.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks buddy

[@wanupgirl]

whatever happened to baby jane was an amazing movie. it's right up there for me with mommy dearest and all about eve. three of my favourite movies of all time.

[@BadWebDiver]

It's a surefire classic from Hollywood's golden age. Wickedly humerous fun. :) All About Eve is an absolute classic, in my own Top 10. Mommie Dearest is okay, though I myself consider it a bit overrated and trying too hard. Not a huge fan.

[@cheshire-yu4nz]

Wanupgurl I didn't care for WEHTBJ because of that bird part it gave me a sick feeling.

[@dynjarren7523]

Wanupgurl It is a Tour de Force of Acting by Bette Davis! She was brilliant and scary as Baby Jane! She should have won the Oscar for that role! Anyone who wants to learn about acting well should watch her performance closely. It is still a macabre and cult classic!

[@tammybrown4901]

[@crownprinceofgroovy]

Roughly 37 years after meeting Scott Michael at his gig at the Punch & Judy Theater in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan it's good to see him keeping up the good work with his Dearly Departed Tour.

[@donna4865]

Love all 4 of u are together ❤

[@hazelkagey6739]

This is a bazaar little channel but I am fascinated with the history you share about the celebrities. I have noticed that when I watch old TV shows with a star you have featured that I instantly see their gravestones. It seems so sad to watch them perform and know where they ended up. I have to say that what was done to Lucille Ball was the saddest one I have seen. It shocks me what children do to their parents while they are still alive but when they die it seems more cruel. Why is the inheritance never enough?

[@Frazzzld]

I'm part of Scott's Death Hag squad. LOL I've known him for a number of years now. He is a super nice dude and I'm glad you went on his tour. This is super cool, seeing two of my favorite guys in one video. :)

[@kathykeith2203]

Me too!!!❤❤Love his videos!!!😊😊😊😊

[@nationalist818]

when I saw "Darkside of Hollywood" I thought you were gonna show all the crackheads and homeless.

[@ThaOneChrisJONES]

I thought he was about to expose the pedophile ring... lol

[@happyharper5494]

nationalist818 lol so did I

[@peterstean2138]

Definitely on my bucket list if I'm ever in LA - I love the macabre. Thanks for taking us on it Adam :)

[@FerchovRey]

you are right Adam , this vlog has a plethora of goodness!!

[@RhettyforHistory]

I know you have been talking about doing a professional Hollywood tour for a few years now. I don't think any of the others could have topped this one! Scott is good at what he does!

[@shadeshiest22]

That looks like the best Hollywood tour ever!!! The knowledge that guy has is just unbelievable, and the tablet in the car confirming pictures and places is a nice touch!

[@79tazman]

Scott Michaels is the man for anything Death related in Hollywood he runs the Find a grave website too he also has done a Doc on the Manson Murders called The Six Degrees of Helter Skelter and has been on some tv shows about Hollywood here is a link to one of his shows on youtube kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHTZcn6kjrBqepI

[@lisellesloan3191]

I must confess, I thought this tour would be really tasteless and exploitative, but Scott seems knowledgeable and respectful.

[@bigsausage9040]

@@lisellesloan3191 yeah I agree. Queers usually have a softer much more gentle approach.

[@charlesverrill]

I've got to get down there for the Helter Skelter tour.... been wanting to go for a long time.

[@pkjohnson1001]

I have been on it. It was awesome !

[@jenconn17]

Great video Adam. This is definitely my kind of tour. I would love to see that museum one day. It was great seeing you and Jacob filming together again.

[@sisterluke]

The creepiest thing in the video was tour guide defending Leslie Van Houten and saying she didn't deserve to be locked up. WTF?

[@UlyssesM]

That's not what he said it's what you heard. All he said was that it's weird how people that have done much worse crimes than her get let out earlier. The only reason she's still in there is because she's a political prisoner and it's true. She is. You can say the same thing about Charles Manson. Nothing but political prisoners "danger to society" "potential for future violence". Please. She's 70 years old with no history of violence while imprisoned. She was lost teenager doped up on acid that night under Manson orders. Might as well been a voice in her head.

[@galaxyride4944]

Exactly

[@thomasgraham8563]

There is a Funeral Home Museum in Houston. Let me know when you stop in Houston. I’ll take you to it.

[@RyDawg084]

Great video Adam!. I would love to take the “Doors” tour.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

RyDawg084 ~ The Doors recording studio on Santa Monica Blvd was an auto sound shop back in the mid 1980's ... _(🎶 history )_

[@GregsVlog]

Funny how Judy Garland's house actually looks like something out of Wizard of Oz. Was it built before or after the movie?

[@donnytucker]

The house was built before in 1926. She lived there from 1935-1939. www.google.com/maps/place/180+S+Mc+Cadden+Pl,+Los+Angeles,+CA+90004/@34.071132,-118.3371716,3a,75y,61.6h,85.17t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1stTa55lq3-8v26xVepumXEA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!4m5!3m4!1s0x80c2b8db7189db79:0x26c6b0982fa6cec5!8m2!3d34.0713018!4d-118.3368576

[@mikeday62]

This house actually fell from a star....'Kansas' she said is the name of the star!

[@DJTOBY]

I thought the same thing!!!

[@ConwayTruckload]

I would be curious to know if there was any spirit attachments to any of that stuff.

[@Discover-Ireland]

How do they get the famous peoples stuff, like May west’s false teeth ect ?

[@kimberlygoss7773]

Hey Adam!! Thanks for taking us along on your tour. I have always wanted to do some kind of an LA tour learning all about the history of famous people. If I ever get to LA I will check this place out. Great tour. Love you Adam!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

If you do make sure you stop in

[@bonniebrown6960]

Kimberly Goss , me too . Loved this one very much !!

[@shadeshiest22]

Remember years ago in LA my friend took me to some apt building where one of his cousins lived and showed me the EXACT place where that guy from that seaquest show hung himself on, it was so creepy to see, was a weird spot to decide to end your life... Also a couple yrs before that got to see the oj murder house not long after it happened way before the place was sold and changed. it was so surreal driving from oj's house to the murder house on the same route he would have used and saw where he slipped through the gate and the place where they were murdered...

[@rbeck3200tb40]

It wasnt OJ;s house it was his ex wifes house where he murdered her and Ron Brown

[@newthrash1221]

Nick Hall *hanged

[@rekietabeatslc9980]

Jonathan Brandis was the Seaquest star who hung himself. He was very talented-what a tragedy.

Judy’s house was really cool! :)

[@randyhutchinson9910]

I remember, all of these actresses, and the impact, they had on my young life, I was so in love, with Dominique Dunn, it's unforgeable, what that man did to her

[@shannon3n8]

I love going back through your vlogistry and rediscovering the crossovers and popups of my favorite YT peeps! Really wished I'd taken the time for a DD tour while out there, so any glimpses are a yummy snack. Rando dude on the street - are you a vlogger? No bro, he just walks around talking into a camera for funzies! 🙄

How could you watch while someone is choking another human being. Gutless. David Packer. 😢😢😢😢

It sort of reminds me of Alf. ;)

[@RuthyD]

I can't help but wonder what Mae West must be thinking in the afterlife, knowing that her false teeth are spinning in perpetuity at a tourism spot.

[@marjoriemargel1567]

Ruthy D I know! Miss West is going “Ugh”!!

[@Monica_Baja]

Yet another amazing video, Adam. Thanks for sharing and thanks for not staying gone forever. You were one of my first subscriptions years ago, Hurt Reynolds abandoned ranch I think it was that got me started. Then the daily woo has helped me through so much personal stuff, I was devastated when you hung it up. Glad to have you back, even only occasionally, I love living vicariously through you and your adventures.

[@NOLADEEJ]

Whenever I make my way out there, this place is definitely on my list to visit! Especially since I visited the crash site of Mansfield.. but man what a unique tour! Thanks as always!!

[@jbrobertson7505]

I heard that Mae West once rented an apt in the building she eventually owned. She bought it because the owner use to complain about her gentlemen callers.

[@VirantRoss]

Pugsleys ashes.. 😔 no children or family members would like them?

[@anderander5662]

Probably fake ..... The place looked pretty seedy to me.... do these people have real jobs or do they just drive around the country and look at weird s*** and somehow get paid for it..??

[@thorgrootsweetrabbit2244]

I for one believe the ashes are real, relatives of famous people tend to be money hungry.

[@sisterluke]

Who's to say what is real or fake in that joint. This is set up and geared for tourists that don't know any better.

Dearly Departed Tours also has a DVD for sale on the Manson LoBianca murders, called "Six Degrees of Helter Skelter" which includes a LOT of information on the background of Charles Manson and his "family". Scott Michaels was one of the writers and the narrator of "Six Degrees of Helter Skelter". www.imdb.com/title/tt1376239/

[@lemonhead162]

I truly disagree, with all due respect on Leslie Van Houten. See, the thing is, Leslie wanted to kill, and be chosen as a "good soldier" as she likes to put it. She had no regard for anyone else who stood in her way to achieving her desire to perform well for their stupid cause. Rosemary LaBianca was not just a dead person, she was a living, breathing human being, a mother, a wife, a daughter in law. She wasn't just a corpse that Leslie came upon & stabbed. Leslie & Pat terrorized the poor woman, who, had to sit there in utter terror listening to her husband being killed in the next room knowing she was next. It was a horrible, horrible crime, unlike no other. Leslie didn't just go inside of a home and stab a dead body. Why is Rosemary LaBianca so unimportant as a human being? What was she, a Halloween prop? No way. Screw LVH! Political prisoner, my a*s! She is eligible to ASK for parole, but it isn't her right under Cali law to be guaranteed it. She didn't help herself when she paraded around the Halls of Justice, skipping, singing & holding hands with the other two mutants all the while having that moronic smile plastered on her remorseless mug! Scott, I've been a lurker on your website for years and now really enjoy the videos and podcast! Keep rockin!!
