Anything about the plot, actors, or maybe year it was filmed? I can try to figure it out if so. :)Lindsay Blakehttp://www.iamnotastalker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-59802786229605284872013-09-16T18:59:00.397-07:002013-09-16T18:59:00.397-07:00I use to walk by this house routinely on El Mio dr...I use to walk by this house routinely on El Mio dr. My best friend lived on that street. One year I wrote a story about the haunting on El Mio. As a child of the sixties and seventies it was so creepy. I do not recall anyone about the house and it looked very run down and abandoned.

Although a nice house, it had a sense of foreboding to an 8 year old, especially when we heard Lon Chaney was filming a movie there!<br />Pamela Parizohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07003313090123494485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-36295363140002272622013-03-28T12:40:34.450-07:002013-03-28T12:40:34.450-07:00There was also a kinda afterschool kids special mo...There was also a kinda afterschool kids special movie made there which also had inside and out of my parents house at 5650 hub st. in it.

Cast and crew members recalled an instance where sunlight had to be bounced through the house with mirrors to light Mantan Moreland, who was hovering inside the window.<br /><br />The house went on to be used again to similar effect in 1976 (and again in 1977) for the thriller "The Silent Scream," which was finally released in 1980. At that time, the house was a hippie hangout. On the DVD features for the film, writers/producers and brothers Ken and Jim Wheat vaguely recall the tenants and reminisce about meeting David Hatch's then-elderly daughter.Vinnie Rattollehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108713348750705408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633816278415014207.post-1474940295897820432010-11-27T12:03:35.566-08:002010-11-27T12:03:35.566-08:00The cast of Spider Baby the Musical (playing now t...The cast of Spider Baby the Musical (playing now through December 5th at the Lyric Hyperion Theatre in Silverlake) are organizing a group to visit the "Merrye House" on the 28th.

You've got some amazing photos, and I'm actually currently working on a scrapbook on the history of the house, I don't suppose I could get the high resolution photos to use for it? In exchange I'd happily answer any questions you might have about the house now. I notice for instance you don't have any information on the fire we had back in 2001.<BR/><BR/>Thanks in advance!<BR/><BR/>Valerie ParkerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
