Famous ‘Poltergeist’ house from 1982 horror movie, listed for US$1.2m, finds a buyer
Several offers were received, according to the property agent, while the final negotiated price is still unknown
The famous “Poltergeist” house, the central location in the classic Tobe Hooper-directed horror film, has found a buyer less than three weeks after it was placed on the market.
In the 1982 film, the house hosts ghosts, a tree that tries to snatch children in the night, and portals to a different dimension. In reality, the home has four bedrooms, a fireplace, pool and a built-in office space that could be converted into another bedroom.
Lauren Murdock, the property agent who holds the listing with Equity Union, said the house is under contract with a closing date for the sale pending.
Murdock leaned into the house’s film history when listing it for sale, pointing out to potential buyers that it comes “without the ghostly antics”.
