The Real Los Feliz Murder House Story (What They Didn’t Tell You) Full Documentary

The Los Feliz Murder House is one of the darkest and most disturbing stories in Los Angeles. In the early hours of December 6, 1959, respected cardiologist Dr. Harold Perelson bludgeoned his wife Lillian to death with a ball‑peen hammer as she slept, brutally attacked his eldest daughter, and then took his own life inside their hilltop mansion on Glendower Place. From that night on, the house would never again be just a house.
​

After the murder–suicide, the three surviving Perelson children were removed from the home and the property was eventually sold, but the new owners never moved in. For decades, the so‑called Los Feliz Murder Mansion remained locked and largely untouched, used only for storage, with the yard overgrown and the façade decaying while neighbors whispered that the interior looked frozen in the late 1950s, like a strange time capsule above Los Angeles.
​

In this full documentary, we dive deep into:

the rise of the Perelson family and how they acquired their dream mansion in Los Feliz;
​

the financial strain, legal troubles and mental health issues that may have pushed Dr. Perelson toward a breaking point;
​

the night of the crime: the hammer attack, the teenage daughter’s desperate escape down the hill, and the chilling moment when he reportedly told his younger children to “go back to bed, it’s just a bad dream”;
​

what happened to the house afterward, including the sale to the Enriquez family and the mystery of a multi‑million‑dollar mansion kept essentially vacant for more than half a century;
​

how the property became an urban legend and magnet for ghost stories, urban explorers, true crime fans and local tours;
​

the recent attempts to sell and renovate the home and the bigger question: can you ever really “clean” the history of a place like this, or will it always be known as a murder house?
​

This video is a documentary‑style reconstruction based on historical reporting, police accounts, real‑estate records and later investigations, combined with atmospheric visuals and commentary. The goal is not to sensationalize the suffering of the victims, but to understand how one family’s tragedy turned a Los Angeles dream home into one of America’s most infamous murder mansions.
