Haunted House or Overpriced Panic Room? Inside the Poltergeist House Rental Experience

1 day ago 5

If you’re a horror fan with lots of disposable income, there is a unique lodging opportunity worth considering. The house used in Tobe Hooper’s 1982 film Poltergeist has been remodeled and is now available for rent. This location is famous as one of the most iconic haunted house film sites, primarily because it was an actual house where the movie was filmed. Now, anyone with the budget and a group can stay there.

Known as the “Poltergeist House,” this rental is open to the public after renovations. Some fans have already had the chance to visit and stay. The house was even used in an episode of the ghost-hunting show Ghost Adventures. While updates have been made, the design still shows elements from the 1980s in its architecture and decoration. The pool, a memorable part of the film with the skeleton scene, has been completed and stands out as one of the home’s features.

The property is located at 4267 Roxbury St, Simi Valley, California. The rental listing describes the home as “a legendary film location turned unforgettable stay.” It calls the place a cozy retreat in Simi Valley that blends spooky charm with comfort and nostalgia. The note says the house appeals to those interested in movie history, subtle supernatural vibes, or a unique getaway. It is promoted as a place where stories live on and memories are made.

The price to stay at the Poltergeist House is high. The nightly rate is $800. A full week’s stay, after all fees and taxes, can cost up to $13,000. Despite the cost, many dates are already booked. And sorry, the house is not available for rent during this coming Halloween.

The property comes with four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms and can host eight guests. Pets are allowed to stay. The rental includes a vintage TV that plays static all day, which is set up for guests who want to take selfies. According to the listing, the home features a pool, a spa, a fire pit, and offers a mix of spooky and cozy elements. It highlights the house’s reputation from the original film and the Ghost Adventures show in 2025. It is positioned as a destination for families, fans, and travelers willing to experience something special. Visitors are invited to “come for the legend” and “leave with your own story.”
