Zillow Gone Wild was the first to reveal the listing on X, saying, “The home from Poltergeist is on sale. That’s it.”
The home has been listed for US$1,174,999, which is about C$1.6 million.

The home looks to be in great condition, but photos of parts of the house featured in the 1982 flick might still trigger those who may have been traumatized by it.
Built in 1979, the home was nearly brand-new when the 1982 hit film was released.
The swimming pool, which was also featured in the film, looks to be in immaculate and inviting condition.

Featuring four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home offers 2,373 sq ft of space.
“Plus, [the] enormous almost 16,000 square-foot lot is the largest in the neighbourhood!” the listing adds.
The listing also says this is the first time this home is available in 45 years.
“Enjoy a thoughtfully designed layout perfect for entertaining, relaxing, and living your best life. Step into the foyer and immediately feel the good energy of this well-taken-care-of home.”
Imagine hosting a Halloween party here.
Here’s a link to a recent trailer of the 4K rerelease of Poltergeist, if you want to compare.
