Home and Away: Bronson Caves


One definite perk of living just over the hills from Hollywood is that there are really neat landmarks everywhere you look! One of my favorites is Griffith Park. When you visit the park there are so many different areas to explore--it's home to the Hollywood sign, the inspiration for Disneyland, the Griffith Observatory, the old LA Zoo, and the Bronson Caves, just to name a few. So, in honor of the month that channels all thing spooky I think it's a great time to visit the caves... 


Bronson Caves have been the site of oh-so-many movies, series (Brisco County Jr., I'm talking to you!), and human sacrifices. Wait. That last one was just for effect. (Note: I cannot deny or confirm that there has been or will continue to be human sacrificing done at the Bronson Caves.)


But there's no denying that these spooky little gems have been filmed there...


Invasion of the Body Snatchers, 1956


Invisible Invaders, 1959


Invasion of the Star Creatures, 1962

It almost seems like the caves have had a spooky invasion! If you're ever in the area, you should go caving--they really aren't that big, but you can crawl right in if you like. Oh, and did I mention that the original Batmobile may have taken a cruise through these very caves? Yeah, so...
