‘Witch House’ Expected to Outdraw Menendez Brothers House This Halloween
The former home of the Menendez brothers is going to attract a lot of peeps looking for some Halloween creeps — but another house in Beverly Hills is expected to be a way bigger spooky draw … as far as cops are concerned.
The house where Erik and Lyle Menendez brutally murdered their parents has been a hot destination for lookie-loos for the last several weeks thanks to wildly popular Netflix specials … and police have been inundated with calls from angry neighbors.
Cops tell TMZ on the eve of Halloween they expect the affluent block to be a mess with a ton of foot and car traffic … but they will be keeping a closer eye on The Witch’s House, about a mile and a half away, where they assume far more people will visit — increasing the odds of bonehead antics. Police will have a presence there all day into the night, we’re told.
The iconic Witch’s House — also known as the Spadena House — looks like something out of a dark fairy tale. It’s been attracting peeps since the ’30s, when it was originally constructed for a silent film movie studio.
To be clear — The Witch’s House is a private residence owned by realtor Michael J. Libow … and, no, tours are not a thing. People can gawk from the sidewalk, but that’s it.
As for police, we’re told Beverly Hills will have a Halloween detail keeping an eye on certain locations … but no officers will be posted up on the Menendez block — despite an increase in trespassing calls.
That said, they won’t be far if some overeager true-crime fanatic goes looking for trouble.
