Experience the chilling thrill of sleeping at the infamous house from "Poltergeist," where you can even request a ghostly presence to accompany you.
The iconic house from the 1982 horror film 'Poltergeist' is now a reality for fans to experience. Located in Simi Valley, California, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home has been meticulously recreated to mirror the movie's set, thanks to its current owner, Rachel Powers, who invested around $165,000 in the project[1][3][4].
Though Powers resides in the house most of the time, it is also available for rent on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, and Futurestay[1]. The unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the film's environment is now within reach, with guests able to book their stay and enjoy custom-curated experiences such as static-lit portraits, tours, movie screenings, or a night that feels "watched"[1].
The house offers a range of amenities, including a pool and hot tub, and a massive old TV set that broadcasts static[2]. For true 'Poltergeist' enthusiasts, a clown doll reminiscent of the film's antagonist is available for guests[2].
The recreated house captures the eerie vibe of the film without any actual supernatural activity, although the owner humorously warns guests not to be surprised if "something checks in on you"[1]. The experience is tailored for horror fans or anyone curious about stepping inside a famous movie set turned vacation rental.
Interested guests can visit the house to see glorious photos on its dedicated website or look up the listing on Airbnb directly to check availability and booking details[5]. The house has previously been featured on an episode of 'Ghost Adventures' on the Discovery Channel[6].
