Real horror went down at Bembridge House in Long Beach, California. In 1981, the Los Angeles Times described the house as follows: "It is the city's only perfectly preserved Queen Anne mansion, an intricate arrangement of turrets, pillars, angles, beveled Tiffany glass windows, and white-on-blue scrollwork reminiscent of Wedgwood." However, it has been the site of events less than beautiful, too: Not only did builder and owner Stephen Green die there following an encounter with a neighbor, but a subsequent owner named Dorothy Bembridge lived in the house from 1918 until she was strangled and killed there in a petty act of revenge in 1999. The scene of the crime - the backyard - is available for weddings for those who take “‘Till death do us part” a little too literally.
