Don Draper’s ‘Mad Men’ / Thriller House Connection

Carroll Avenue, a street in Los Angeles’ historic Angelino Heights neighborhood, where Don Draper’s childhood home in ‘Mad Men’ — (a Pennsylvania brothel, in the show’s universe). The real estate database Zillow says that the six-bedroom, 126-year-old building is worth just under $600,000, which sounds like a steal — especially considering how all the grime covering it in Sunday’s finale was added in post-production (and, evidently, after AMC took the photo above).

The fake Brothelk is located at 1355 Carroll Ave. You know what’s located right next door? 1345 Carroll Ave. — a.k.a. the “Thriller” house. In Michael Jackson’s seminal music video, that’s where his unnamed girlfriend (Ola Ray) tries to seek sanctuary from the undead dancers who are stalking her. See the second home in action around the 10:35 mark — or, if you’ve got a spare 14 minutes, just rewatch the whole glorious thing:
