¡Buenas a todos!
Mi última pregunta del año. No tengo más contexto, es una frase anecdótica sobre Mulholland Drive.
Mulholland Drive was the favored route of the Manson family for crosstown travel and creepy crawling exploits from their place near Calabasas to Hollywood.
No estoy familiarizada con los asesinatos cometidos por la "Familia Manson" ni a qué se refiere exactamente con "proezas". ¿Alguien me puede iluminar con sus conocimientos sobre el tema? La traducción es para España.
¡Muchas gracias y mis mejores deseos para el 2015!

: ¡Ah! “siniestras”, va como anillo al dedo, la verdad. Yo usaría tal vez “siniestras correrías”... aunque “espeluznantes” creo que me gusta más por aquello del “repelús”... o “siniestras correrías espeluznantes”... pa rizar el rizo. ¡Feliz 2015!

incursiones/correrías horripilantes/espeluznantes
Si consideramos que estas acciones se refieren a invadir las casas de las víctimas para aterrorizarlas, "exploits" quizá podría traducirse como "incursiones" o algún término singular. Creepy crawling se usa con relación a insectos o bichos repugnantes; en este contexto podría valer alguno de los adjetivos que he puesto arriba u otros como repugnantes, etc.
Feliz año 2015!

: Me gusta “correrías espeluznantes”, o tal vez “sus ‘espeluznantes correrías’”, entrecomillado. Hasta “macabras correrías” o para ser francos, “excentricidades de mal gusto”, si a eso vamos... ;-) ¡Un feliz y expansivo 2015, lleno de correrías sanas!

"Historial de las escalofriantes irrupciones de la“familia"Manson en grandes mansiones de Hollywood"
COMENTARIO
Para documentarte sobre la forma de actuar de Charles Manson y sus acólitos sólo has de introducir el nombre en Google.
En relación a "PROEZA"= heroicidad, aunque en tu texto seguro que la palabra está entrecomillada, ya que significa lo opuesto. En tu texto "proeza" es la forma violenta/ sangrienta de actuar de Manson y sus acólitos, ya que cada una de sus irrupciones en mansiones hollywoodienses se teñía de sangre.
Respecto de las opciones “incursión”, “correría”, “siniestro”, “rastrero” etc., como podrás ver por el significado, ninguna de ellas es pertinente en este caso.
incursión
f. Penetración momentánea en un sitio nuevo o poco habitual:
hizo algunas incursiones en la pintura.
Penetración de soldados de un ejército en el territorio enemigo:
murió durante una incursión de las tropas enemigas.
correría
f. Saqueo de un territorio enemigo:
en su última correría, los guerrilleros no respetaron nada.
1.Aventura o travesura. Más en pl.:
nos contó sus correrías de cuando era joven.
siniestro,tra
1.adj. Que está a mano izquierda:
miró a la siniestra antes de cruzar.
2.Perverso,avieso y malintencionado:
mirada siniestra.
3.Oscuro,tenebroso o de aspecto desagradable:
calle siniestra.
rastrero,ra
1.adj. Vil,despreciable:
su comportamiento rastrero mereció el desprecio de todos.
2.Que se arrastra:
reptil rastrero.
OPCIONES
“El historial de la violenta/ escalofriante/ sangrienta forma de actuar de la “familia” Manson en Hollywood”
“El historial de las sangrientas/ escalofriantes irrupciones de la familia Manson en mansiones hollywoodienses"

Hola, Montse, pues si se refiere a Charles Manson y sus subordinados, deberías entrecomillarla, ya que esa "familia" no era una familia al uso, sino una banda criminal.

| Muchas gracias, Rosmu. En el texto original no hay ninguna palabra entrecomillada. |
| Lo sé, y los lectores lo sabrán porque la "familia" ya ha salido antes en el texto. |

The Family
While the residents of Cielo Drive had returned home from dinner and were settling in for the evening, things were much different some 16 miles to the northwest. The Manson Family was staying at Spahn Ranch at the time, which had no calendars, newspapers, or clocks, so the exact time was unknown. However, later testimony placed the events starting "...about an hour after dinner." At that point, various family members were standing around the ranch's saloon set when Charles Manson appeared and instructed four of the group to go and get a change of clothes and a knife. The four were Charles "Tex" Watson, Susan Atkins (also known as Sadie Mae Glutz), Patricia Krenwinkel (also known as Katie), and Linda Kasabian. Although Kasabian had only been with the Family for just over a month, she was the only Family member with a valid driver's license - the primary reason it is believed why she was sent along, although Watson was actually the only person to drive the car that evening.
After the group had re-assembled, Manson instructed the group, "Go with Tex and do whatever Tex tells you to do." After the four loaded into a 1959 yellow Ford owned by ranch hand, Johnny Swartz, and had began to pull away, Manson stopped them. He reportedly leaned into the open passenger-side window and said, "Leave a sign. You girls know what to write. Something witchy." In the backseat were a pair of wire cutters and a rope. In addition to the knife he was carrying, Watson had also brought along Manson's .22 caliber Longhorn revolver.
While en route, Watson told the girls that they were heading to the house that used to belong to Terry Melcher, because Watson knew the layout of the home. ****Several members of the Family had previously been sent on so-called "creepy-crawly" missions. *** These nightly outings entailed dressing in dark clothing and entering a random home while the residents inside were asleep. The participants would slink around in the dark and, on occasion, move things around so that the residents would know that they had been there when they woke in the morning. It was not unusual for the Family members to carry knives as they "creepy-crawled." However, any thoughts that this was one of those missions would soon be shattered. According to Atkins's grand jury testimony, Watson reportedly told the girls that they were to "...get all of their money and kill whoever was there."

"These nightly outings entailed dressing in dark clothing and entering a random home while the residents inside were asleep.

It was not unusual for the Family members to carry knives as they "creepy-crawled."
Aplicando el mismo criterio a tu propuesta (irrupciones), encuentro lo siguiente en el DRAE:
irrupción.
(Del lat. irruptĭo, -ōnis).
1. f. Acometimiento impetuoso y repentino.
2. f. Entrada impetuosa en un lugar.
No me encaja en absoluto con la imagen de "creepy-crawly".
