On Halloween night in 1957, a group of children ran towards a brand new house in a suburban neighborhood just outside of Los Angeles, California.

This house had some of the best decorations on the street, and the kids all hoped the house

would have the best candy, too.

One of the kids knocked on the front door, and soon a middle-aged woman in a witch

hat, along with her husband, opened up the door and told the kids how great all their costumes

looked.

The wife gave out a huge handful of candy to each of them, and they all happily said

thank you. Candy really was as good as the decorations. The kids, giddy with excitement, ran towards

the next house, but none of the kids noticed the person in white makeup, red gloves, and a mask

pulled down over half of their face, quietly watching the woman in the witch hat talking to her

husband in their doorway. And as that husband and wife walked back of their face, quietly watching the woman in the witch hat talking to her husband

in their doorway. And as that husband and wife walked back inside their house to restock their

candy bowl, they had no idea their Halloween was about to turn truly horrifying. But before we get

into that story, if you're a fan of the Strange, Dark, and Mysterious delivered in story format,

then you come to the right podcast because that's all we do and we upload twice a week, once on Monday and once on Thursday.

So, if that's of interest to you, please hide a tiny speaker in the ceiling of the follow buttons home, and then play,

It's a Small World After All, on repeat repeat every time they try to fall asleep.

Okay, let's get into today's story. They say Hollywood is where dreams are made, a seductive city where many flock to get rich,

be adored, and capture America's heart. But when the spotlight turns off, fame, fortune, and lives can disappear in an instant. Follow Hollywood and

Crime, the Cotton Club murder on the Wondery app or wherever you get your podcasts.
