Looking for a good Halloween read about Los Angeles? In his Nebula-shortlisted novel Expiration Date, Tim Powers turns Los Angeles into a haunted maze of ghost addicts, fading glamour, and occult undercurrents. It's an urban fantasy about how Hollywood hides its horrors. #SciFiLosAngeles

An otherworldly landmark you can find in the Los Angeles area is the Watts Towers.
It is a series of 17 interconnected structures built by Italian immigrant Sabato (Simon) Rodia from 1921-1954.
It remains a prime example of outsider art (Art Brut) and Italian-American naïve art.

With its fortress-like, post-apocalyptic aesthetic, the Oakley Headquarters building is supposed to represent the brand's history of innovation.
If you're wondering what extreme sports dudebros thought the future would look like, it's worth taking a look because the building is just bonkers.

We loved recognizing some of our favorite Los Angeles landmarks in the newest Wonder Man trailer that dropped earlier today!
First look at the ‘Wonder Man’ film in the Disney+ ‘WONDER MAN’ series.
The series will follow Simon Williams as he auditions for a role in a reboot of the classic ‘Wonder Man’ film.
