They buy the house from ‘Stranger Things’ (for double the price) to turn it into a Halloween attraction

Although it wasn’t exactly a haunted house movie, if the first season of stranger things managed to be quite creepy was in large part because of the Byers’ already unforgettable home. That house was the center of everything disturbing in the first installment of Netflix’s star series: where voices were heard, where the demogorgon attacked, where the mysterious Christmas lights were turned on… In short, the property entered in its own right in the pantheon of famous movie and TV shows houses that you can visit, but the story was still missing one last twist: the Byers’ house recently went up for sale and already has a buyer willing to transform it into a Halloween attraction .

If you are still somewhat convalescing from the traumatic end of season 4 of stranger things (and the load of theories that he left us), maybe you want to reminisce about those times when everything was simpler, we had no idea who Vecna ​​was and the biggest concern of Mike, Lucas, Dustin and Will was to solve without you fight a role-playing game. In that case —or if you just want to stop thinking for a while about when season 5 will arrive, and with it the definitive end of stranger things—, you can take the first plane ticket to the United States and drop by 149 Coastline Road. There you will find the house of Joyce Byers and her children, on a farm located in a forest in Fayetteville, on the outskirts of Atlanta, Georgia, which in fiction was transformed into the imaginary town of Hawkins. Until now, this plan did not lend itself to much more than a walk in front of the enclosure and a couple of photos of the facade, but, very soon, the house of stranger things it will become a tourist attraction as God intended. That is the intention of the buyer who has closed a deal with the EXP Realty real estate company, just six days after the property went on the market and paying twice the asking price for it: about $600,000.

According to him real estate agent that has managed the announcement of the sale, the seven brothers who own the farm do not see themselves capable of making the necessary reforms to turn the house of Will, Jonathan and their mother into an AirBnB or a tourist attraction, so they have decided to sell it for give someone else the opportunity to do so. The client, who has reserved the property and should close the deal this month, has proposed to turn the house into a kind of theme park of stranger things, which, in addition to the Byers’ own home, includes a scale recreation of different iconic places in Hawkins in the more than two hectares of land that accompany the property. Although it still needs some tinkering, both the interior and the exterior of the house immediately transport us to that first installment of the story of Eleven and the gang. The ad of the real estate agency ends with a very important warning: “Do not feed the demogorgon!”.
