Where are horror movie houses in L.A.?

Since the filming of the 1978 multiple-sequel-spawning horror classic “Halloween,” the boyhood home of serial killer Michael Myers has been relocated from its original South Pasadena location (709 Meridian Ave.) a block and a half away to the intersection of Meridian Avenue and Mission Street (and barely a rubber mask’s toss away from the old Foothill Gold Line’s Mission Station, now called the A Line South Pasadena Station).

It’s still worth seeking out, though, first because this home turned office building (a historical landmark that may be the oldest wood-frame building in South Pasadena) is where Meyers’ four-decade, 11-movie (we’re not going to count the totally-Meyers-free “Halloween III: Season of the Witch”) murder spree got underway.

The second reason is the building directly behind that building at 810 Meridian Ave. That’s where you’ll find SugarMynt Gallery (slogan: “Where every day is Halloween”), an art gallery that’s made a literal cottage industry out of Haddonfield’s best-known bad guy. It features props, photo ops and purchasable “Halloween”-themed art. The gallery, which costs $20 to enter, also stages an annual fall art exhibition called “Welcome to Haddonfield” (the current one opened Sept. 2 and runs through … Halloween).

Spookiness factor: Myers’ home is about as scary as the financial services business it currently houses — unless you count the Meyers mannequin watching you from the foliage between that house and SugarMynt next door.
