The Haunting

The Hollywood Sign is a prominent man-made landmark set on the slopes of Mount Lee above Beachwood Canyon in the Santa Monica Mountains, overlooking Hollywood in Los Angeles. Erected in 1923 as a temporary advertisement for a local real-estate development, the original installation spelled out "HOLLYWOODLAND" in 50-foot-tall white uppercase letters forming a 450-foot-long word. Due to increasing recognition the sign was retained; the final four letters 'LAND' were removed in 1949. In 1978 the sign was entirely replaced with a more durable all-steel structure featuring 45-foot-tall letters set in concrete footings.
