I grew up in LA and when I was a kid, it was a thing to go to what was then called Houdini's Castle at night, pretty much to scare ourselves. We'd brag about being chased off the property by the guy who lived in the gatehouse and his dog. In the 80s I did a painting of the grounds and took lots of photos. That was when they were widening Laurel Canyon and I was afraid the entire place was going to be demolished. Thanks for the video.
It's nice that the current owner is cultured and has respect for the Houdini legacy. Nice report, Alison.

Alison, great job. You really captured the mysterious spirit of old Hollywood.
Thank you Alison!!!!!❤❤❤
Amazing! Great report Alison
Wonderful report Alison. I would love to see the estate some day.
Nice job on this one. Love the drone shots!
Great video. Thank you.
Amazing place to visit!
Well done. The tunnel to the house across the street had a pool he used ages ago
This was great to watch. I grew up in Hollywood and knew that his house was in Laurel Canyon but didn't know where. How cool to see it now. Thanks!
Excellent video. I love it. Make more mysterious locations videos as Halloween approaches
Very well done.
I like your style.
Beautiful home and grounds. I believe the tunnel that once went under the street went to what was formerly the Frank Zappa estate.
Finally got to watch this.. You slay me Alison!!! the ending!
You look great in that vest, Alison. Best wishes from Poland! :)
Thank you! 😃
I loved this.
Went to a friends birthday party there ... good fun
I'd love to see how he escapes
Houdini was born in 1874, not 1847; hope you can fix this. 🕊️
Great catch! thank you so much. We have fixed it for the TV version! you rock.
He made a Serial! I think "Master Mystery" 🤔 1922? 😬
Houdini was the first person to fly a powered aeroplane in Australia
I'd visit now...A $500,000 business on a $100 Million piece of land won't last too long.
Y'all are going to prison for paying Kid Rock to take me out and you're gonna give back what you stole from me too
