Surpassing:Jamie Lee Curtis' house from 'Halloween' is up for sale in California for $1.8 million

For the price of only a couple million dollars,Surpassing you too can sit on the front porch from where Jamie Lee Curtis was long ago stalked by a deranged masked killer.

But not to worry: Michael Myers no longer appears to be much of a threat. At least, not since Curtis finally bested her "Halloween" nemesis of 40 years in 2022 during her final appearance as Laurie Strode in the iconic franchise.

Before Laurie was going toe to toe with crazed murderers, the famed heroine was just a teenage girl in the fictional town of Haddonfield, Illinois. Now, Laurie's childhood home from 1978's "Halloween" — the film that started it all — is up for sale in the Los Angeles area.

How much does the 'Halloween' house cost?

Listed at $1.8 million, the property has already attracted plenty of interest from both "Halloween" fans and genuine homebuyers alike, real estate agent Heidi Babcock told USA TODAY.

And aside from the frightening pop culture lore with which it's associated, Babcock said it's not hard to see why.

The Fairview Avenue home is located in the heart of South Pasadena, California in "an excellent school district on an excellent block," Babcock said. Located in a "walkers' paradise," the listing boasts that the property is in an area bustling with farmers' markets, vintage boutiques and festivals, while an old nearby school is being revitalized as a venue for shopping, eating and live music.

The triplex property contains three separate units on site with picturesque windows, a two-car garage and no menacing knife-wielding madmen — except maybe every Oct. 31.

Where can I see the house in the 'Halloween' film?

Built in 1906, the property has been in the same family for the past four generations, Babcock said — long before John Carpenter began making his slasher flick.

The house underwent some renovations in the 1940s, including the construction of a second structure over the garage in 1948 and the planting of an avocado tree that Babcock said can be prominently seen in the original "Halloween" film.

But horror fans are most likely to recognize the house from the scene in which Laurie Strode is simply sitting on the front stoop holding a pumpkin.

Its spooky history is one embraced by the previous tenants, who Babcock said had rented and occupied the property for the past 35 years.

"They really kept the Halloween tradition alive by having the pumpkins outside and encouraging people to take pictures," Babcock said.

Open house coming up

Babcock estimates that about 160 parties have visited the house, though she recognizes that of course some are just macabre looky-loos.

Another open house is planned for Tuesday before Babcock said the sellers expect to receive and entertain offers beginning Wednesday.

As for the home's future, Babcock said that being a "Halloween" fan is not required, though it certainly is a plus.

"If somebody who appreciates the property and appreciates the neighborhood bought it and happened to be a fan, that'd be fantastic," Babcock said. "(The sellers) do not want someone to tear it down and take away the character."
