During the dry months, they walked or cycled to a nearby river to fetch water. Enjoy a collection of fascinating, historic pieces of Los Angeles architecture that were built as private residences. From the early Twentieth Century through today, the world's most famous and influential architects have created amazing buildings, homes and structures in LA and Southern California. These are just a few of the most beautiful - and unusual places you can see on your personal architecture tour. Salema Masha’s escape from Shakahola forest occurred shortly after the herders’ rescue of the five emaciated boys in February 2023.
Dr. Satan might not be real
Even so, more than a hundred children were withdrawn from school. Some were enrolled in Mackenzie’s alternative, while others stopped attending school completely – including the six children of Smart Mwakalama, Mackenzie’s second-in-command, and Mary Kahindi. In 2017 Mwakalama’s mother, Constance Sidi, furious that her grandchildren were not receiving a proper education, reported Mackenzie to the police. Mackenzie and his second wife Joyce Mwikamba were arrested and charged with running an unregistered school and radicalising its pupils. Mackenzie and Mwikamba were found guilty of running an unregistered school and fined a mere 20,000 Kenyan shillings ($150); they were acquitted on the charge of radicalisation. Mackenzie moved the church to a property he had bought nearby and rebranded it as Good News International Church.

Denise later wakes up to find herself strapped to an operating table, surrounded by Dr. Satan and Earl, who survived the cave-in. The movie ends with Denise screaming in horror and the words "The End?" displayed before the end credits.
Inside the Kenyan cult that starved itself to death
To fans, however, it's one of Rob Zombie's masterpieces, and the film that launched his career in horror. The studio completed a theatrical trailer for the film, which was shown in theaters and prior to the Universal ride created by Zombie.[18] Zombie later received a call for a meeting with Stacey Snider, head of Universal. Zombie claimed that many urged him to scrap the film following the fallout with Universal, though he continued to search for a new distributor.
With evidence mounting, on March 22nd 2023 the police arrested Mackenzie at his house in Malindi. But the following day, for unknown reasons, he was released on bail of 10,000 Kenyan shillings ($75). Mackenzie returned to his hideout, where he spent a further few weeks living among his flock. According to DCI Magazine, a publication circulated by Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Mackenzie informed his closest allies in December 2019 that, at Jesus’s behest, he was going to the forest outside Malindi to pray. After their own 1,260 days far from civilisation, they would leave their earthly bodies behind and ascend to heaven.
A few years later, he moved to Malindi, where he ran a taxi service. By 2002 Mackenzie had married his first wife, Agnes Mongeli, and left the local Africa Brotherhood Church, where he had been preaching, after a dispute with its leaders. He joined a Baptist congregation and started to find his voice as a preacher, claiming that an imminent apocalypse had been revealed to him by God. One evening in 2003, he told congregants he had received a vision that the head of their church had to die before the Lord could return.
If you love arts and crafts architecture, this is the house for you. A well-preserved and fascinating example of Arts and Crafts architecture, designed by Greene and Greene, it was built in 1908 for David and Mary Gamble of the Procter & Gamble Company. The house looks beautiful but from the reviews that I have read, the gardens are truly what people love. Robinson’s department store when they started living in this mansion. Self-guided walking tours of the exterior of Heritage Square Museum homes are currently available.

Look below the glassy skyscrapers and you'll find Art Deco high-rises in Downtown Los Angeles, craftsman bungalows in Pasadena and envious estates along the hills and beaches. We think Los Angeles architecture is worth celebrating, so we've put together this guide to some of the city's most remarkable buildings and styles. House of 1000 Corpses is a 2003 exploitation horror film written and directed by Rob Zombie.
In 2022 Masha even gave birth to her fifth child at her mother’s house. Constance Sidi, Smart Mwakalama’s mother, visited her six grandchildren in the forest around the time the fasting began. “My grandchildren were there, looking at the food longingly, but their father said they couldn’t eat, they were fasting.” That was the last time she saw her grandchildren. At the end of 2022, Mackenzie proclaimed that the world would end in August 2023 – roughly three and a half years, or the biblically ordained 1,260 days, since the first GNI group entered the forest.
What is surprising is that House of 1000 Corpses took such a long and winding road to the theaters, that he initially thought he wouldn't be making sequels, and above all, that it was his first film. The movie simply feels too self-assured, too confident, and frankly, too good to be a first outing. Thousands of people ended up living in the forest with Mackenzie, whom they referred to as Papa or Mtumishi (“servant [of God]”). From what information I’ve been able to gather from around 40 sources – Shakahola locals, relatives of victims and survivors, police officers and NGO workers in the area – Mackenzie’s followers seem to have lived a simple and circumscribed existence. They grew vegetables for sustenance; other necessities were bought in Shakahola.
Designed by architect Richard Meier, this complex occupies an entire hilltop just off fabled Sunset Blvd. We think it's one of the greatest outdoor spaces in Southern California, with the architecture eclipsing the collection it houses. Built in 1960 at 7776 Torreyson Drive in West Hollywood (in the hills overlooking Studio City and just off Mulholland Drive), The Chemosphere was designed by architect John Lautner. The Chemosphere House designed by the architect John Lautner for Nouard Gootgeld. Partly designed by John and Donald B. Parkinson, it was the last great railway station to be built and not the grandest, but it's been in so many films that we all recognize it when we see it. In the forest, an event called a “wedding” would be held after someone succumbed to starvation.
As they take off in search of the tree from which Dr. Satan was hanged, they pick up a young free-spirited hitchhiker named Baby, who claims to live only a few miles away. Shortly after, a mysterious figure appears hidden in some overgrowth and shoots out their vehicle's tire with a shotgun. The group thinks it is just a blown out tire and so Baby takes Bill to her family's house to get a tow truck.
Today it's open as a museum, located in Malibu Lagoon State Park and open to the public for guided tours. The Hollyhock House was designed by Frank Llyod Wright for Aline Barnsdall though she quickly became disillusioned with the home and donated it to the city of LA. The hollyhock was Aline’s favorite flower and was used as a theme throughout the house. Even if you cannot tour the home it is visible from the park and the city views are wonderful as well. Though its skyline will never measure up to the likes of New York or Chicago, Los Angeles has carved out its own architectural identity.
Schindler's private residence is open to the public several days a week, and no reservations are required. Schindler came to California to work for Frank Lloyd Wright and supervise construction of the Hollyhock House. For a fascinating tour through his personal development as an architect, start there, then see his private home listed above, then tour Fitzpatrick-Leland to see the radical changes in his style over just a few-years period.
