Hollywood is arguably the most glamorous place on Earth, and yet it has a dark side: it is the place where many people's dreams of stardom were shattered, and several tragedies happened. Therefore it is not that uncommon in fiction to imply that this dark side is of mystical nature. Perhaps you need to strike a literal Deal with the Devil to become a star, perhaps the luxurious avenues are haunted by the ghosts of dead actors, or perhaps Hollywood itself is an Eldritch Location where the line between real and unreal is blurred. Various productions throughout Hollywood's history have been said to have been "cursed" due to various mishaps befalling the cast and crew. For more information, see The Production Curse. Not to be confused with Hellish L.A. (which for the most part focuses on the "Place Worse Than Death" part of living in L.A.) |

Angel thrived on this. Its Los Angeles had an underworld of vampires, demons and an evil Occult Law Firm called Wolfram and Hart. | |

In Mulholland Dr., Hollywood is controlled by shady masterminds like a wheelchair-bound kingpin Mr. Roque and the mysterious Cowboy who are implied to be supernatural entities. According to the most popular interpretation, the first part of the movie is the dream of a failed actress Diane Selwyn who invented a supernatural conspiracy in her mind as a reason for her failure. | |

The 1920s arc from American Vampire shows that a coven of the Carpathian vampires controls Hollywood, using it to strengthen both their financial clout and influence over mortals. It also turns old Hollywood from "merely" being cruelly exploitative to horrifyingly dangerous, as the conscienceless vampires are more than happy to feed on naive wannabe actors and actresses and have all the power necessary to cover up their sadistic and murderous deeds. | |

In Silverblade, a mystical being grants ageing actor Jonathan Lord the power to transform into any character he ever portrayed on film, and he gets caught up in a millennia old battle between ancient forces, with Hollywood itself as the battlefield. | |

Lori Lovecraft contains all of standard Horrible Hollywood stereotypes: sleazy producers, egomaniac directors, narcissistic actors, embittered writers, etc. Oh, and a demonic conspiracy running things behind the scenes. | |

In Starry Eyes, the Hollywood company Astraeus Pictures is revealed to be a sect worshipping a demon of the same name; in order to become a beautiful and successful actress, the main character makes a deal with the said demon. | |

The Vampire: The Masquerade supplement LA By Night has it that the founding and flourishing of Los Angeles was guided by an extremely powerful Toreador, who was Embraced at 13 and came to California after his artistic debut saw him laughed out of Boston's Kindred society. It's mentioned that this child vampire's ancient mindset and relative lack of talent may explain why nothing original seems to come out of Hollywood. | |

Men in Black, its continuations and Men in Black: The Series demonstrates that many big-name Hollywood celebrities (including such people as Steven Spielberg, Sylvester Stallone and Dennis Rodman) are all aliens, and one episode of the series had J and K visiting the MIB's Hollywood office on a missing aliens case, which was more of a talent agency with additional weirdness and less of a super-secret police station (the agents had even stopped carrying weapons a long time ago), and showcased that In-Universe stand-ins for the Alien, Predator and Teletubbies franchises all starred aliens. As well, it's mentioned that Hollywood of all places is where people almost catch on to the fact aliens exist more often, forcing the Men In Black to wipe memories and allow films that cover things up to be produced on a regular basis. | |

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, Hollywood is all but run by the vampires, particularly of the Toreador clan, and is host to all manner of supernatural creepiness. | |
