Yes, that's right, the house used to make the famous horror movie is on the market at a moderate (at least by west coast standards) $1,350,000. It's got 3000 square feet, a theatre, gourmet kitchen, pool, and waterfront location. It's actually located in New Jersey instead of Long Island, the location in the movie. I just saw an interview on "The Today Show" about the home and the owner mentioned that she's never seen anything that even remotely felt like a haunting or anything scare. According to her, it's actually a very nice home with lots of good memories.
I'm writing about this house for two reasons; it's famous and it's nothing like the movie house. It's interesting that the owner still, after all these years, gets visitors asking about scenes from the movie and if there are any actual haunting events similar to those in the movie. Perhaps I'm a bit too modern but, IT WAS A MOVIE!! Not real life! After decades I'm surprised people are still giving it that much consideration. But, hey, that's the price of fame.
The other point is that it's nothing like the movie house. The famous curved windows that made it look like a face on the side of the house are no longer there, it's actually located on a cul-du-sac, and after watching the interview it's amazingly well decorated. So, that begs the question, would you live in a house that has a history of hauntings or, in this case, fictional hauntings? Would you live in a house that was used as a movie set and is now famous worldwide? For me, I couldn't care less and it would actually be neat to have a house with a little bit of fame. I'm curious what others think.
