Dreaming of Owning a piece of horror history? The "Poltergeist" Home is Up for Sale! (Zillow)
Are you in the market for a new house in this wild housing market? Did you miss your chance to snag the iconic "Home Alone" house and now you're craving another silver screen property to call your own? Well, here's your chance to own a piece of horror movie history! According to a report by Digg, the house from the classic film "Poltergeist" is up for sale for the first time in 45 years!
That's right, the very house where the Freelings encountered some seriously spooky activity could be yours—if you have $1.7 million to spare, that is. This four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, located at 4267 Roxbury St, Simi Valley, CA 93063, still retains much of its original charm as seen in the 1982 film. While there have been a few updates over the years, the house's exterior and many interior details are instantly recognizable to fans of the movie.

The listing has already attracted potential buyers, so if you're seriously interested, you might want to move quickly. Who wouldn't want to say they live in a house that once had a portal to another dimension (in the movie, of course)?
We've got some fantastic photos of the property, courtesy of Zillow, along with a few stills from "Poltergeist" for comparison. It's fascinating to see how much of the house's original film look has been preserved over the years. You can almost picture young Carol Anne in front of the TV, uttering her famous line, "They're here..."

But before you let your imagination run wild, it's worth noting that, unfortunately—or fortunately, depending on how you look at it—the house has been "ghost-free" for quite some time. So, while you may not be sharing your new home with any spectral visitors, you'll still have a great conversation starter at every dinner party.
Staircase has changed
Given the current housing market craziness, who knows how long this property will stay on the market? It might be snapped up before you even finish reading this article! If you're ready to dive into a piece of horror film history, you can check out the original listing [here](insert link).
