To say the Viper Room was vibing would be an understatement. The Viper Room WAS the vibe.   It’s where bands played to try out new music. It’s where celebrities went to hang out away from the flashes of cameras. It’s where Johnny Depp threw parties for his famous friends. But it also played host to a slew of tragic events, most notably the death of Academy Award nominee River Phoenix. The building itself is packed with history dating back more than a hundred years, when Sunset Blvd. was just a dirt road. This episode has a little bit of everything: mobsters, ghosts, even Johnny Cash. Kate takes us on a journey through the venue’s history, as well as a dive into one of the biggest unsolved mysteries surrounding the club: the disappearance of co-owner Anthony Fox. Let’s get wild, Misfits.
