Story and Investagation By: Freak_O_Pedia

Recently I meet up with fellow freaker Case Wright after a book signing of Bruce Campbell. Taking a drive into Hollywood is always an adventure in lunacy of driving. People are out right maniacs while driving in Hollywood. But hell, I was in Tinsel Town and there with a purpose, to see the Museum Of Death. After easily finding the corner of Hollywood and Ivar, it took me a while to find parking. Actually I was trying to be a cheep bastard and find free parking, but I finally broke down and paid for parking which there was plenty of.
From Hollywood Blvd. the front of the building has a Scientology church. As you go around the corner onto Ivar, which is where the enterance is, I found the Museum Of Death. Walking in I was greeted by the two smiling faces of the owners of the museum, JD & Cathee. These are the two nicest people I've met in a long time. I stood there talking to the both of them finding out a little about their most interesting business. Read the history of the Museum Of Death for yourself. I of course talked to them about the Freak_O_Pedia website and you fellow freakers.
Well Case and I bought our tickets and our aventure in the the morbid began. The first area we walked into was a room filled with coffens and displays of different types of burials. Playing on a TV in this room was a very graphic video of death scenes from around the world.
As we moved on we saw old and modern tools of the autopsies and embalming which was interesting. As we moved along pictures lined the walls with pictures of different scenes of death, from bodies found at a scene of an accident to bodies on the autopsy table. We finally enter a hallway with several rooms on each side. Each room had it's own theme to it, from a room with picture of car accidents, which had a beltbuckle safety sign above it, to a room of serial killers. One room I got a chuckle out of was the Heaven's Gate. There was actual bunkbeds and Nike shoes from the Heaven's Gate community which commited mass suicide because god didn't take then up in his space ship.
Each room held something specail to view. Understand most of it is very graphic and in now way for the weak stomach. But if your looking into a place to go for an adventure outside of the norm, this is the place to go.
Stay tuned for future reports on this incredable place with hopeful interviews with both JD and Cathee.

Some days ago I embarked on a foolish journey to a place of darkness ans raw evil. This was no mere realm of the damn, rather a ring of deepest Hell in which the stench of hatred and fear pressed against your soul, breaking the strongest man to a whimpering....
........what?........hold on.......
Umm,oops, my bad. I was reading my notes on Simi Valley. Sorry.
The Museum of Death. Only in America (probably not, but one can only hope), just off the intersection of Hollywood Blvd and Ivar in Los Angeles, one block from Hollywood and Vine. Interestingly, the museum was once the studio of a martial arts instructor named Bruce "Enter the Dragon" Lee. Terminal!
The Museum's proprietors, JD and Cathee, are happy, perky, peppy, people. I had only a brief conversation with both, but they seem to see death as rather inevitable in the life of a person, so why not examine that as an event? I should have invited them to skydive at Perris Valley.
Much of the museum displays memorabilia from famose or infamous death such as O.J Simpson case, Princess Diana of Britian, Elizabeth Short AKA The Black Dalia, and the Space Shuttle Challenger catastrophe (damn Morton Thiokol to HELL!).
Oddly, no mention of Bhopal, India.
As I wondered about, I found a display dedicated to the Comet suicide cult from San Diego and a grave rubbing from Al "Scarface" Capone's tombstone.
The museum is NOT the place for anyone easily offended by graphic images of death and dismemberment or who watch those trite teen soap-operas on the WB network.
