House from 'Poltergeist' Goes Under Contract

The iconic house from the 1982 horror film 'Poltergeist' in Simi Valley has gone under contract just two weeks after being listed for $1.175 million, although the final sale price remains undisclosed. The property, which has been owned by the same family for 45 years, features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and retains much of its original charm from the film, albeit with updated appliances. Listing agent Lauren Murdock noted that the house's historical significance both attracted and deterred potential buyers, with many inquiring about its alleged haunted past. Despite its spooky cinematic history, Murdock assured prospective buyers that the property is not haunted. The house's location in a peaceful neighborhood and its spacious layout, including a pool and backyard, adds to its appeal. This sale marks a notable moment for fans of the film and collectors of Hollywood memorabilia.
