About This Place
The "Thriller" House, officially known as the Sanders House, is a historic Victorian-era residence located in the Angelino Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles. Built in 1887 for warehouse operator Michael Sanders, the 3,532-square-foot home originally featured four bedrooms and four bathrooms. The house gained iconic status after being featured in Michael Jackson's 1983 "Thriller" music video, where it served as the eerie backdrop for the video's climax. The Angelino Heights area, established in the 1880s, is renowned for its well-preserved Victorian homes, with Carroll Avenue being particularly notable for its historical significance.
