Someone connected with the Tower of Terror actually disappeared... but no one ever talks about it.
Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we creep closer to the derelict Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history and warnings hidden within the design. As we step off of Sunset Boulevard and walk up the driveway, we pull out rare original Imagineering storyboards and show guides to help us understand exactly what the story is that we see in the scenery around us. Approaching the gate, we find a disappearing curb, a date with integral plot significance (that no one ever talks about), and a few changes over the years as the Tower has aged. After Kirk chats about some plants, we step inside the front gate at our own peril and start to hear ethereal music haunting the grounds. But there's more to these tunes than meets the ear, as many of them have their own story to tell that, once you realize their secrets, makes the Tower even more terrifying than you ever dreamed.
Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
