Don't miss my Halloween list of this year's 10 Spookiest Cities in America, last year's list of Hollywood Haunted Houses and these great tips for throwing your own Halloween party!
We already know which cities are the 10 Spookiest Cities in America, but what about some of the most haunted places in those cities?
Hollywood might not be the most haunted, but it did rank sixth on the list of the top 10 scariest towns in the nation and is probably the most well-known of them all.

Last year we celebrated Halloween by looking at the spookiest cities of 2010 and the locations in Hollywood known for celebrity ghosts. But what about those places in L.A. haunted by everyday residents? After all, the movie capital of the world is home to many who never made it into the movies.

Here is a list of some of Hollywood's haunted hotspots, according to L.A. Tourist.

Vogue Theatre

The famous Vogue Theatre was built by renowned architect S. Charles Lee and opened for the first time in July, 1935. It is now closed but still has a reputation for being one of the most haunted places in Hollywood.

Located on Hollywood Boulevard, the Vogue Theatre is well-known for both the productions staged there and the ghosts who call the theatre home. Some of the spirits rumored to haunt the now-defunct theatre include children who died in a school fire on the site where the Vogue was eventually built, a former projectionist for the theatre named Fritz and Danny, a part-time maintenance engineer who worked at the theatre. Both men died in the 1980s.

If you're interested in living near this famous haunted landmark, be prepared to pay up: This two bedroom, four bathroom condo is a five minute walk to the Vogue Theatre and is priced at nearly $1 million.

Hollywood Wax Museum

The Hollywood Wax Museum would be creepy even if it weren't haunted: Life-like wax statues of celebrities, both alive today and deceased for many years, line its rooms. If you look long enough, you might think you see one blink or move. Then again, it might not be your imagination.

Spirits are rumored to move among the figures, and visitors and employees alike have complained of paranormal activity. Many of them have reported ghostly shadows showing up in photos, strange mists coming up from the floor and unexplained loud noises.

Like everything else in Hollywood, a home near the Wax Museum is expensive. This Mediterranean-style home in historic Whitley Heights is only a four minute drive from the museum and is on the market for $1.7 million.

The Hollywood Sign

This one was on our list of the Top 10 Spookiest Cities for a good reason: It's one of the most well-known haunted sites in this terrifying town. For many it represents the opportunity Hollywood offers, but for others it signifies the darker side of Tinsel Town.

Peg Entwistle came to Hollywood in the 1930s with hopes of becoming a movie star. Instead, like many, she found herself waiting for a break that would never come. Unable to deal with the pressures of trying to make it in the movies, she took her own life. The aspiring actress climbed 50 feet up to the top of the "H" and jumped to her death.

If you want to live near the Hollywood sign and experience Entwistle's ghost for yourself, you'll need a big budget. This 7,000+ square foot home with a view of the ocean is listed for $3.5 million and is an eight minute drive to the Hollywood sign. Access to the sign is restricted, so you'll need special permission to get up close.

The Comedy Store

Before this famous comedy club opened in 1972, the site was home to Ciro's, a popular club in the 1940s and 50s. All the greats visited Ciro's â€" legends such as Lucille Ball, Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. But like many other clubs of the era, Ciro's had a darker side: Its owners had deep connections to the mob.

It's no surprise that with these mob ties came violence. According to legend, many of the ghosts that haunt what is now the Comedy Store were victims of mob violence. The angriest ghost is reportedly that of a former mob hit man who was eventually tortured and killed by his bosses.

Just like the other homes near these famous Hollywood landmarks, this three bedroom estate near the Comedy Store is worth big bucks. It's only a four minute walk to the famous club and is listed at a staggering $4.5 million.

Silent Movie Theatre

John Hampton opened the Silent Movie Theatre in 1942, 15 years after motion pictures began using sound. Hampton and his wife Dorothy lived in an apartment over the theatre, and he spent much of his time preserving old silent movies using toxic chemicals. Inhaling these chemicals proved to be fatal, and Hampton died in 1990.

Hampton's ghost is said to haunt the Silent Movie Theatre, along with the ghost of the second owner who was murdered in the lobby. Hampton's ghost prefers to haunt the upstairs lounge, as that was at one time the apartment he shared with his wife, while the spirit of the second owner is often seen near the site of his murder.

A home within walking distance to the Silent Movie Theatre comes at a relative "bargain." This charming three bedroom, two bath house is only a 10 minute walk to the theatre and is listed at just under $900,000.

Queen Mary

This massive ship was built to be even bigger and more luxurious than its predecessor, the Titanic. It crossed the Atlantic more than 1,000 times and carried many rich and famous before being refitted as a troop ship during World War II.

The Queen Mary draws thousands of visitors every year, many of which come to see the spirits that reportedly haunt the ship. The ghosts are said to be former guests who stayed on the ship when it was still active. They include a young girl who drown in the swimming pool, an elderly woman who had a heart attack on the ship and a former crewman who was crushed to death in a watertight doorway in the engine room.

If you have a big enough budget, you can live near this historic haunted ship and see the ghosts for yourself. This Long Beach, California penthouse can be yours for a cool $1.8 million. It has views of the ocean and the Queen Mary - if you look out your window at night you may see the spirits dancing on the deck.
