A sprawling, gothic mansion that looks as though it was torn from the misty hill

A sprawling, gothic mansion that looks as though it was torn from the misty hills of Transylvania and unceremoniously dropped into the heart of Beverly Hills. The estate is a grotesque contrast to its surroundings—blackened stone walls covered in creeping ivy, wrought-iron gates twisted like skeletal fingers, towering spires stabbing into the California sky. A perpetual mist lingers over the grounds, and despite the unrelenting Los Angeles sun, the mansion's shadow always seems to stretch just a little too far.
