The infamous house from the 1982 horror classic “Poltergeist” is being transformed into an Airbnb, available for rent by fans obsessed with the supernatural.
The house, built in 1979, is located in Simi Valley, California.
It sold on Friday for $1.28 million. Zillow listing confirms this.
The new investor, who is from Los Gatos, California, reportedly wants to convert the four-bedroom, three-bathroom home into an Airbnb that will replicate the set of the iconic movie.
But Halloween fans shouldn’t get too excited about the rental news.
According TMZThe house won’t be ready on Airbnb before the spooky October 31 holiday because the owner “wants to get it perfect and not rush things.”
There’s always next year, at least.
The “Poltergeist” house, located at 4267 Roxbury Street, went on the market in August for the first time in 45 years.
It features a light-filled living room with huge windows, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with updated appliances.
Upstairs, there are four bedrooms, including a master suite with vaulted ceilings, en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
The backyard, which occupies 16,000 square feet, features a large in-ground pool and hot tub.
“Yes, this is the house where much of the first movie in the series was filmed; but ‘This house is clean’. Seriously, it is! the Zillow listing jokingly noted before the sale.
The home is also described as “great for cooling off on hot California days or hosting epic pool parties. Plus, it’s much safer than building a portal to another dimension!
Additionally, the listing noted that there is room to add a home with a pool or an ADU for additional income.
4267 Roxbury Street was used as the primary filming location for the beloved horror film directed by Tobe Hooper and written by Steven Spielberg.
“Poltergeist” follows the Freeling family as they encounter terrifying paranormal activity in their suburban home and focuses on the youngest daughter, Carol Anne, who is kidnapped by malevolent spirits through a portal in her closet.
The film stars Craig T. Nelson, JoBeth Williams, Beatrice Straight, Dominique DunnOliver Robins, Heather O’Rourke and Michael McManus.
It grossed more than $121 million at the worldwide box office and was nominated for three Academy Awards: Best Original Score, Best Sound Effects Editing, and Best Visual Effects.
