Haunted House From Halloween Movie Now on the Market for Brave Buyers
Are you ready for a spine-tingling real estate adventure? Just in time for the spookiest season of the year (and a welcome departure from the September heatwave), the iconic house from the beloved 1978 horror film Halloween is up for sale. It could be yours, but beware of the $1.8 million (£1.4 million) price tag!
This eerie abode, located in South Pasadena, Los Angeles, gained fame as the setting for the terrifying tale of the escaped mental patient, Michael Myers. You might remember Jamie Lee Curtis, who played the heroine Laurie Strode, sitting on the front porch, clutching a pumpkin. And yes, if you buy this house, you can recreate that iconic scene with your very own pumpkin.
But fear not, despite its spooky cinematic history, the house is nestled in an area “considered a walker’s paradise,” according to estate agent Heidi Babcock. This property is more than just a cinematic landmark; it consists of three separate units, making it a spacious place to call home.
“If you watch the film, you’ll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin,” says Ms. Babcock. In the 2021 sequel, Halloween Kills, even more chilling events unfold at this very location, involving unfortunate firefighters.
“This exceptional property is a wonderful place to live, work, and play in one of the most desirable communities in greater LA,” Ms. Babcock adds. So, if you’re in the market for a legendary house with a spooky twist, this could be your chance to own a piece of horror movie history.
