You can now spend Halloween at the ghost house from ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’
The iconic ghost house from Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is now being used for spooky Halloween experiences through Airbnb.
Located in New Jersey, Delia Deetz’s house is open for experiences between October 23 and November 4 and promises to bring guests tricks and treats for Halloween – though arguably more of the former. The experience, which lasts three hours, also includes an art class and photo op. Ten of them are available in total, with guests selected based on their answers to questions about why they would like to go to the house.
Guests to the attraction won’t stay in the house itself overnight after the experience but will be provided a one-night stay in nearby Princeton at no extra cost.
Delia even gives an in-depth description of the house on the website in character like a real Airbnb.
“Now that my art is posthumously appreciating in value and recognition – rightfully so, I might add – I hereby invite to my home any artistic soul that wishes to make the pilgrimage,” the description on the Airbnb site reads. “Although shrouded in black to mourn Charles’ passing, the interior is unparalleled, curated by none other than yours truly, rescued from the pedestrian eye of its previous owners. And, in return for your undying support, I will teach you to Create with a capital C in the first-ever art class from beyond the grave.”
In a four-star review of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, NME wrote: “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is filled with brilliantly ridiculous moments like Keaton’s character quite literally spilling his guts, Belluci’s venomous witch stapling her mutilated body back together to a remix of the Bee Gees‘ ‘Tragedy’ and a ludicrous group lip-sync to Richard Harris’s camp classic ‘MacArthur Park’.
“This film has its flaws, not least some unnecessary CGI sandworms that clash with the kitsch practical effects elsewhere, but its sense of fun never lets up. It’s silly, giddy and a little bit disgusting – just what we want from Beetlejuice.”
