NextImg:Inside Jamie Lee Curtis’s murder home from ‘Halloween’ — up for sale at $1.8M

In a spine-tingling real estate twist, fans of the legendary horror flick “Halloween” have the chance to snatch up a piece of cinematic history that’s as chilling as it is charming.

The very abode that Jamie Lee Curtis’s iconic character, Laurie Strode, once called home in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois, is up for grabs — and it costs more than a movie ticket.

Listing agent Heidi Babcock, of eXp Realty, confirmed that the iconic slice of Hollywood history can be yours for just shy of $1.8 million — and just in time for spooky season, to boot.

In the 1978 classic, this house — located in real life in California — makes a cameo appearance in the background as Curtis perches on the front garden wall, clutching a pumpkin with a sinister grin.

Nestled in the Library/Mission West district of South Pasadena, this property has been held tightly in the same family’s grip for three generations.

The Post has obtained interior photos of the listing.

The home is located in South Pasadena, California.

"Yes, this was a filming location for the 1978 film 'Halloween,' as the house of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis)," writes realtor Heidi Babcock in the property description. "If you watch the film you'll recognize the infamous stoop that Jamie Lee Curtis sat on, holding a pumpkin."

The house has since been divided into three separate units, each boasting picturesque windows looking to views of the serene neighborhood.

The property even has the potential to be turned into a four-unit residence by converting the garage space into an accessory dwelling unit, the listing notes.

In February 2022, the "Freaky Friday" star posted a photo on Instagram calling her last day on set "bittersweet."

There’s a shared laundry room and a back patio. This being California, the home also boasts a fruit-bearing avocado tree, planted by the sellers’ grandfather in the 1940s.

Last year, the legendary scream queen herself, Curtis, penned an essay for People, reflecting on the enduring legacy of the Halloween franchise, just as the 13th and final film, “Halloween Ends,” sent shockwaves through theaters.

“For 44 years, I have tried to figure out why and how the confluence of a young girl (Laurie Strode) and a monster (Michael Myers) came together in the 13 films titled ‘Halloween.’ And this month, as I play Laurie for the last time, in ‘Halloween Ends,’ the final installment of the franchise, I am trying to figure out how to say goodbye to Laurie, who has taught me the meaning of the words ‘resilience,’ ‘loyalty,’ ‘perseverance,’ and ‘COURAGE.'”

Curtis, 64, continued to express her gratitude to the fans, revealing, “everything good in my life can be traced back to Laurie” — including meeting her husband, Christopher Guest.

“I was with the writer of the original ‘Halloween’ when I saw my husband of 37 years for the first time,” she recalled in the essay. “Debra Hill and I were on my couch in West Hollywood in 1984. I opened up an issue of Rolling Stone, saw Christopher Guest in a ‘Spinal Tap’ story and said, ‘I’m gonna marry that guy.’ (I did, six months later.)”

As Curtis bid farewell to her iconic character, she shared her own transformation, saying, “I can’t tell you why Laurie Strode became O.G. Final Girl. I assume it has something to do with her intelligence and strength of character, quick mind, and profound bravery.”

“Life is scary. But Laurie taught me that life can also be beautiful, filled with love and art and life!”
