The iconic house from Jamie Lee Curtis’s Halloween in South Pasadena, California, is now off the market. The house served as the exterior representation of the fictional Haddonfield, Illinois, house belonging to the teenage protagonist, Laurie Strode, a character brilliantly portrayed by the talented Jamie Lee Curtis in the 1978 groundbreaking slasher film.
The building, constructed in 1906, is situated on an expansive 5,258 square-foot plot of land and features an impressive layout consisting of four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Its significance in cinema history, as the eerie and haunting location where Micheal Myers terrorized the silver screen, has solidified its status as a legendary piece of Hollywood heritage.
The Halloween Home
In September, the California house debuted on the real estate market for an initial asking price of $1.8 million. While describing the property, the realtor, who is also a descendant of the original owner of the building, Heidi Babcock, shared intricate details and alluded to its cinematic identity.

Babcock also mentioned that the estate boasts an array of vegetation, most of which was planted by their grandfather to enhance the property’s aesthetics and desirability. “Each of the 3 units has picturesque windows and lovely views of the surrounding trees and neighborhood,” he admitted. “This exceptional property is a wonderful place to live, work, and play in one of the most desirable communities in greater LA.”
A report by PEOPLE established that the Halloween house is no longer available for sale, having recently been purchased for a final sale price of $1.68 million. However, the house sold $120,000 short of the original asking price.
