Vito also happened to be first cousin of Eva Paul, wife of Winthrop Rockefeller.

Vito and his wife Zsou’s three-year-old boy was the first candidate to play in Kenneth Anger’s Lucifer Rising, before dying of a tragic accident, ascribed in the documentary Mondo Hollywood in morbid sarcasm, as “medical malpractice.” The child died on December 23, 1966, the very winter solstice heralded the Age of Satan by LaVey, who performed the role of the devil in Anger’s Invocation of My Demon Brother alongside Mason “Family” member, Bobby Beausoleil. Zsou suggested the fall occurred during a “wacky photo session,” which may be connected to the fact that, according to Beausoleil, some of Anger’s film projects were for private collectors: “Every once in a while he’d do a little thing that wouldn’t be for distribution.” According to biographer Bill Landis, Anger was at one time investigated by the police on suspicion that he had been producing snuff flicks.<a id="ednref9" href="http://www.terrorism-illuminati.com/blog/laurel-canyon-sex-drugs-and-aliens#edn9" name="_ednref9" title="">[ix]</a>

According to Miles, Vito operated “the first crash pad in LA, an open house to countless runaways where everyone was welcome for a night, particularly young women.”<a id="ednref10" href="http://www.terrorism-illuminati.com/blog/laurel-canyon-sex-drugs-and-aliens#edn10" name="ednref10" title="">[x]</a> By the mid 1960s, the group had expanded into a guesthouse known as “the treehouse” at the Log Cabin. The “treehouse” attendees included Mick Jagger Marianne Faithfull, members of the Animals, Mark Lindsay from Paul Revere and the Raiders, Alice Cooper who joined Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, Janis Joplin, and Roger McGuinn and Mike Clarke from the Byrds. Journalist John Bilby recalls, “Tim Leary was definitely there, George Harrison and Ravi Shankar were there.”<a id="ednref11" href="http://www.terrorism-illuminati.com/blog/laurel-canyon-sex-drugs-and-aliens#edn11" name="ednref11" title="">[xi]</a> Zappa took over the commune in 1968.

Also included in the pack was Kim Fowley, who had spent time working as young male street hustler, but had his greatest success creating the Runaways, featuring Joan Jett, who were recently the subject of a film in 2010. Fowley crassly attired the band in leather and lingerie, and boasted, “everyone loved the idea of 16-year-old girls playing guitars and singing about fucking.”<a id="ednref12" href="http://www.terrorism-illuminati.com/blog/laurel-canyon-sex-drugs-and-aliens#edn12" name="_ednref12" title="">[xii]</a>
