Jamie Lee Curtis' home in 'Halloween' movie is up for sale
One lucky new homeowner could be celebrating Halloween this year in a home made famous by the classic film "Halloween."
A four-bedroom house in Southern California that served as the home of Jamie Lee Curtis' character in the movie, Laurie Strode, is on the market for nearly $1.8 million.
The home, located on a tree-lined street in South Pasadena, was made famous in the original "Halloween" movie as the place where Curtis' character sat holding a pumpkin on the stoop.
In the 1978 movie, fictionally based in Haddonfield, Illinois, Curtis was also seen walking down the steps of the porch with an avocado tree to her side.
According to the listing real estate agent, that avocado tree was planted by the seller's grandfather.
"The home has been in the family for four generations," Heidi Babcock, an agent with eXp Realty, told "Good Morning America," adding that not many exterior changes have been made to the house over the years so it is still recognizable to "Halloween" fans.
Babcock said since going on the market earlier this month, the house has attracted lots of interest, including from some people who are more horror movie fans than prospective buyers.
"It's obvious when people are fans and they're respectful and they're excited to be there," Babcock said. "And it's totally fine for them to come by when it's open."
In addition to snatching up a million-dollar piece of movie memorabilia, the new homeowner will be getting a property that is rarely available in the neighborhood, according to Babcock. She described the property as a legal triplex and one that is vacant, meaning a new homeowner can move right in.
"It's rare that a property comes up like this in this area," Babcock said, noting the neighborhood is very walkable and in a great school district.
Babcock also noted that any fans of Halloween -- whether the holiday or the movie franchise -- will fit in well in the neighborhood.
"I've heard from neighbors that it's an amazing place to go trick-or-treating, and that there's always a Michael Myers wandering around," Babcock said, referring to the villain from the "Halloween" films.
