As the story goes, The Hollywood Tower opened in the bustle of the 1920s. It was a destination for the show business elite for 11 years. On October 31, 1939, the elevator was struck by lightning and the five guests riding it were never seen again. The hotel was abandoned and left to the ravages of time. But time cannot heal all wounds.
Many years later, the hotel opened its doors for tours- but not the elevator in which the lightning struck. The building remains the same, except for the elevator doors. Tour guests can walk the grounds now and visit the library to learn more about that fateful night.
Should you desire to see the other floors of the hotel, a service elevator remains in working order for you and your guests.
We're celebrating this anniversary telling you 10 things you can find in the ride that are from classic Twilight Zone Episodes! I won't tell you where they are, you'll have to keep your eyes open!
