Hollywoodland was actually a subdivision of tract houses and the sign was a billboard for the development. It was erected in 1923 for $21,000 and originally meant to last just 18 months. It lasted much longer than that, but gradually fell into disrepair. In 1949, the letter "H" even fell over.

There are differing opinions on why the H fell. Some say bad weather knocked it over and others claim a truck drove into it. But either way, it needed fixing. Since it started as an ad, the original idea in 1949 was just to tear it down altogether. But by then it had become such a fixture in town that the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce decided to take over maintenance and ownership, according to Salon. They repaired the sign, but cut the "land," changing it to just "Hollywood" to stop it from referencing one specific housing development.

Chilling ‘screaming’ drawings by boys found after rescue from ‘house of horrors’

insane story.

The chilling drawings scribbled by three children held captive in a ‘house of horrors’ since the pandemic have been revealed following their rescue.

The boys, one aged 10 and twins aged eight, had not been allowed outside since December 2021, Spanish police told local media.

They were reportedly forced to wear face masks and nappies and slept in caged beds.

The parents, Christian Steffen, 53, and Melissa Ann Steffen, 48, are said to have locked all doors and windows of the house in Oviedo, which was filled with rubbish, animal faeces and old medicine.

‘As soon as we got them out, all three began to take deep breaths as if they had never been in the fresh air before,’ a Spanish official told La Nueva España.

Upon exiting, one of the children fell to the ground and touched the grass ‘in amazement’.

One police officer said: ‘They were very scared and around the mother, who told us all the time that the little ones had serious pathologies and that we should not approach them.

‘They had three masks each on top of each other. They were oblivious to any contact with reality.’
