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
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.
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".
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.
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.
@@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...
I honestly could not imagine walking through that house, or even on the lawn. I would almost "feel" the murders happening (in my mind), and the aftermath, if that makes sense.....
+Debbe Z. You're right Debbie. I thought by now (after 47 years) that people would have stopped driving to that house. Do you mind telling me which officer was your father-in-law in those photos? I'm just curious. Thanks for your time.
That door that led to the pool is where Folger ran out. I can't help but picture it in my mind every time they show it. Also when the shot of the front Door you can still see pig in your mind.
Michael Castro Exactly, i wish the house never got torn down, the lebianca house is still standing and they were murdered the following night after Sharon tate and they were stabbed to death just like sharon tate was.
@@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.
The home was built in the 40s by French actress Michelle Morgan. It was in the style of a French cottage. White beams, sunny colors, light fabrics and Dutch doors. It was a fairy tale home. By the 90s and from this video you could see the house was in disrepair. How anyone could live there, I can't imagine.
A shame they tore the house down. It was a gorgeous home with an unbelievable view. Now it's a LARGE way too big for the land it's on house with a great view. I see it every day. Yuck.
Yes ridiculous Trend nowadays of building massive houses but not enough land... it looks really out of scale and sometimes this uh houses are too close to the neighbor's house and it just looks weird
Lenni Leem Some people are fascinated by things like this. People live in houses people were murdered in all over the country, you do realize that, right?
George Vreeland Hill I could not agree more. It should have been preserved as a historical monument. Not for the murder aspect of this particular tragedy but for if nothing else the truth about how it truly was here when the summer of love died. I wonder how many boys died on that same day in Vietnam?
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.
My in-laws lived 7 houses away from tragic Tate murders. Only relatives were allowed on Cielo Drive until murders were solved. A really beautiful area and the location of such brutality...so sad.
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)
It is amazing that Garretson wasn't killed that night. There must have been blinds on the windows of the guesthouse, because surely if the killers had seen him in there, they would have killed him.
I remember reading that when he woke up the knob on his door had been tried and was still pointed down. Garretson is the luckiest son of a bitch out there.
+Tiger Gray I read that Krenwinkle admitted that she started to open his door but Tex told her to stop cuz they had to leave. H was worried about hanging around too long. Yes, he was very lucky that might.
Jody Tex Watson told Krenwinkle to check the place and she did a half assed job because she didn't want to add to the carnage. So she came back and lied to Tex, not knowing if anyone was in it or not.
@@sportsmediaamerica I'm almost positive it was filmed by the people working with Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails when he recorded his album in the living room of this house which I had heard about some years ago.... really horrible .
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.
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.
@@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.
@@OnTheFritz602 that's dramatic lol. people are into this sort of thing as a hobby / interest. there is no reason to be so judgy about it. stay mad and move on.
@@victimlesscrimes thank you. it's art,honestly. and these people don't get the fascination with this case,manson especially. they don't understand why people do this sort of thing and are very judgemental about it as if it's personally affecting them. trent was a genius to take the door,if it were me,i'd do the same and wouldn't even think twice to sell it to zak bagans if he offered me money for it lol.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
@@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.
@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.
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.
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. Ive seen vhs look beter then dvd, people who dont know anything just assume everything old is worse, now theyre buying vinyl records for $45 at walmart. 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.
Some people may think I'm creepy for saying this, but if I had the means I'd buy that property and get rid of that awful house on it and put back the original planes of the house that Michèle Morgan had built. The new place from what I could tell just seems to swallow up the land not flow with it like the original house.
I was thinking same thing rebuild the original home and its blue prints I would of went ahead and engaged there names on the cement stone by the entrance as a tribute memory
Rivet Counter That’s why he took the door when he left? Because he suddenly felt respect for the victims? I wonder if he still has his John Wayne Gacy painting too. “I don’t want to be looked at as the guy who supports serial killer bullshit.” Ha. Who is he trying to kid?
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
What a beautiful rustic style home. Too bad for such a horrid thing to have happened there, Sharon Tate loved that house. So sad and really unthinkable for her not to have been able to continue on with her life, way too tragic. It's a nightmare you want to wake up from but you can't.
Videos like this that exist are amazing and whoever took this thank you so much because this is like one of the only ones ive seen where they actually go thru the house and it was demolished not long after this.. like many others have said beautiful house all those houses up there in the hollywood hills are so amazing..
In August, 1969, I was 14 and temporarily living in Los Angeles with my family. On my transistor radio that morning , the murders were announced in somber disbelief. My mother cried. The world tilted , we learned the definition of horror. It’s not my place to say how the house is being used in this video . Will say , more than anything the house needed to be demolished. The horror and sadness of that day profoundly impacted our emotions. So sorry and prayers to the families.
There's a guy a few houses down from where the house once stood he had the ghost hunters team come to his house for an investigation he said during the renovation of his house he woke up in the middle of the night to a man standing by his bed. When the man saw him staring at him he pointed his arm to the right and disappeared after that encounter he did some research on who died there from the murders and he found out the man standing at his bed was Jay Sebring. The youtuber is named David Oman. Another thing if you search jay sebring hair lesson there's a vid of him it's only 2 mins long but it was taken a few months before the murders.
I think in these situations the houses should be demolished immediately after the completion of the investigation and replaced with a memorial garden, the buildings become macabre shrines of evil and exploited by unscrupulous individuals.
ok who is kinda creeped out to see the house and the history that happened there i started to watch it and then i got chills to think of what those people went through
what an awesome house, had that homey quaint look to it yet it was way up in the hills like that with that awesome view of LA, the guesthouse is alot bigger than i thought it would be too
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
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
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.
In August 1994 I had a day to kill and I took a bus from Glendale to corner of Sunset and Benedict Canyon, then walked the rest of the way. When I made it to 10000 block of Cielo, 10050 was no longer there. It was just an empty wooded area, dark and spooky (late afternoon when I got there).
@@gardensofthegods There is a very large mansion on it. I visited in 2003 and the entire area was so peaceful, so quiet, but almost traumatised. No birdsong, no noise, just the buzz of cicadas and an eerie stillness, almost as though a sinister pall hung in the air. Fortunately, I don't subscribe to any of that bollocks - simply a very quiet piece of real estate. As Bugliosi commented, you could probably hear the clink of ice in the cocktail glasses that night at the foot of Benedict Canyon.
Wayyyy too much outdoor shots. They should have shot most of the video on the inside. We have all seen millions of pictures of the ouside of the house. I would have gave a complete tour of the entire inside of the house and the guest house. Hell even the garage. wasted too much time filming outside. I give this video a C-.
I would never ever want to sleep in that house or be there at night. Even with that beautiful sweeping view of the city. As everyone says, the original house was gorgeous. The new mansion is disgusting.
Trent Reznor the lead singer of Nine Inch Nails lived in the original home before it was torn down and reportedly either wrote songs or recorded songs there. He reportedly removed one of the doors when he moved out of it
Oh Wow, I know that the house has been long since been torn down, and the address changed, but, did you see any ghosts or screams of horror, oh, my bad, you did not record this. Some dude went up to that very spot on some anniversary of that horrible night, some time ago, very creepy, thanks for posting this!!
Thankyou Kate Van Buren, For your reply, looking at this Video first time I've seen a pool, I saw this Year's ago not this Video, Again, What a lovely home, Carnt believe it's all Gone, Kate Van Buren? God Bless you & Take Care ,❤,
I could never understand how Garrison could claim that he had't heard anything, but given both the placement and layout of the caretaker's cottage, I guess it does seem possible. The cottage was on the far side of the swimming pool (quite a distance from the main house), and it appears that the living room, where he presumably would have been, was to the extreme far side of the house. It's also likely that he was listening to music with headphones (picturing those big, clunky 1960s-70s headphones), and he may have also been compromised with the consumption of beer and/or grass.
No headphones. He testified he was listening to the stereo at a medium level. Never heard any report of pot or booze on the scene. No air conditioner in the guest house. He claimed he was up all night writing letters and listening to music. Seems hard to believe he didn't hear anything.
At 5:34 the picture of Christ was drawn by John Wayne Gacy. While on death row he occupied his time by painting, When he died the victims family burned his paintings in a bondfire except this one.
Very dark harvesting energy of horror and murder for his album to ensure its success is what I think since he was back then dabbling in the darker side of the occult
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.
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?
My love and my heart and my prayers will always go up and out to Sharon Marie Tate and her Son and for the victims of that night. May evil be defeated in Christ Jesus and my God bless Sharon and her Son and Family in Heaven and take away all evil and all pain from that night. Sharon deserved better and she is in Heaven laughing and playing and loving and embracing her Son and Family and that's what matters in the end. Amen.
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.
You believe that you purchased the house from a man named AJ Perino. Okay, I probably spelled that name wrong. But seriously; did you or did you not buy that house. I don't think so. Good Lord, what is your problem? Are you for real? I apologize but this just sounds too far-fetched.
Trent from nine inch nails lived in that home for a few years and then moved out in like 93 I believe. I guess that’s some of the stuff he left behind. I read he took the original door with him and put it up in his studio in his new home.
Yeah, Tex Watson would have used several more bullets and had canine blood on his hands too. If Steve McQueen had been there on the other hand, things may well have turned out differently.
Theres one account that said Roman and Sharon had guard dogs on site, but that night they were penned up because Sharon had taken in a stray kitty earlier that day
1969 Peace and love? The Vietnam War, Multiple high profile assassinations of leaders, countless riots, protests, violent groups rising in power and strength, etc. That's the big joke about the hippie movement - they spoke it, but did not act like it.
Seeing that Front Door where "Pig" was once written on blood gives me chills! The tragedy that fell in that house is unspeakable especially the unborn baby of Sharon. Rip 🙏 all that died that 💔 fateful night!
There are several parts of the house I would have loved to see in this video. It is a shame that they didn't take videos of the maids quarters, the bathrooms and dressing rooms of the bedrooms and the loft above the living room. I do wonder if there are any other videos out there of the house.
I know! The master bath/dressing room is something I've been wanting to see. Nothing pops up with a search. I'm also curious about the hallways off of the loft. There is supposedly a door to the outside stairs behind the fireplace.
Go to Dearly Departed. They sell a video (I bought one years ago). Scott is awesome showing and narrating many places where people passed away. He is super knowledgable. He had a museum but closed it for now. He runs Dearly Departed tours to many of the locations. Buy the DVD if it is available. You'll be glad you did.
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 .
