However, I can think of at least a handful of other bends in other streets in LA alone that I've also heard described as "Dead Man's Curve."
The lyrics revolve around a tragic car crash- that weirdly enough- foreshadowed Jan Berry’s own car accident two years later in 1966 near the same location talked about in the song.
Also one on Mulholland Drive heading westerly just past Skyline Drive. Which makes sense, a little over a mile of near straight road from Doheny to build up speed into the curve at Greenway Drive.

Due to the spread of COVID-19, some points of interest may be closed or have restrictions. Of all the crashes on the curve, perhaps the most notable is the wreck of Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny.Anything you plan or save automagically syncs with the apps, ready for you to hit the road!Tall tales, trip guides, & the world's weird & wonderful.Did you know: If you use the Roadtrippers mobile app, your trips will instantly auto-sync over...

Three days later, while driving his sports car eastbound at 9:30 p.m., Blanc was hit head-on by a car that had lost control on this notoriously dangerous bend in Sunset Boulevard, a place already known as "Dead Man's Curve." Dead Man's Curve is an American nickname for a curve in a road that has claimed lives because of numerous crashes. Of all the crashes on the curve, perhaps the most notable is the wreck of Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny. This part of Sunset Boulevard was made safer shortly after Mel Blanc's crash, but the part of Sunset that I'VE always known as Dead Man's Curve (because my mom always described it that way to me, presumably because her mom did so to her as well) is the big blind curve that comes just east of Beverly Glen but before the Beverly Hills city limits. An important thing to keep in mind about the Jan&Dean song is that this is NOT where Jan Berry had his terrible car crash Dead Man’s Curve and Collaborating with Brian Wilson of “The Beach Boys” In 1964, Jan and Dean released the song, Dead Man’s Curve (The mini soap opera song about a tragic California car crash).

In January 1961 Mel Blanc (the voice of Bugs Bunny) and former Warner Brothers executive producer John Burton started a commercial production company called Mel Blanc Associates.
Doesn't say anything about going through all the other curves to get to it. Just how many so-called "dead man's curves" are there in L.A., anyhow?
I've counted three just Wiki-traveling west on Sunset Boulevard!
