The obviously Greek-influenced decor of the Spanish Colonial Revival home lent itself an air of mystery and charm that could both scare and delight visitors.
Mainly due to the bas-relief ornamentation about the place that featured figures from classical mythology such as Pan, Aphrodite, Hercules, Venus, etc., but carved with the likenesses of actors from 1950's era B-movie sci-fi, such as Faith Domergue, Robert Clarke, Yvette Vickers & Grant Williams.
Which wasn't the scary part, of course. The scary part was all the medieval torture devices, straight out of the Spanish Inquisition, that were incorporated into the lawn ornamentation.
