Los Angeles is, as any architecture aficionado knows, the undefeated land of Every Style Under the Sun, Just About, with structures running from the austere to the outlandish.
We even have plenty of fantastical gothic nods here in Movieland, with the occasional gargoyle glaring down at passersby below.
And while the exquisite Victorian homes and buildings of Heritage Square Museum, which is found next to the Arroyo Parkway just a short drive from DTLA, are not gothic, well, they do have a certain... spirited presence.

The historical park is, in short, a prime place to screen filmmaker Guillermo del Toro's 2015 gothic horror "Crimson Peak," a movie with a memorable mansion at its red, red heart.
You can watch this veil-covered confection on Saturday, July 20 when Heritage Square screens it, all to give summer a touch of autumn magic.
Ghost tours will be happening, too, if you'd like to step inside some of the 1800s-era abodes that give the area so much olden-day aura.
