Fancy a stay at the ghost house from ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’?

Airbnb’s new ‘Beetlejuice’ mansion lets movie fans experience a trip in the iconic haunted house – with a (welcome?) detour to the Afterlife…

Are you a fan of Tim Burton and the two Beetlejuice films?
Do you happen to be in the US and wanting Halloween to last a bit longer?
You’re in luck.
Following the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice earlier this year, Airbnb has got you covered by offering a spooky experience at Delia Deetz’s haunted two-story abode from the film.
Located in Hillsborough, New Jersey, the residence is available for three-hour bookings from 16 to 27 November.
The Airbnb listing, hosted by Deetz, reads: “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.”
It adds: “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.”
Guests will get to admire the iconic Winter River model in the attic, as well as take a trip to the Afterlife, with the waiting room for the recently deceased.
Check out some of the images from the listing:
Due to some recent “spiritual difficulties”, guests can’t stay in the house overnight. However, they will receive a one-night stay at an Airbnb listing in neighbouring Princeton, New Jersey – at no additional cost.
In our review of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, we stated: “The plot is all over the place, with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice suffering from far too many undercooked strands. However, this does not necessarily work against the film, as the original was also a gleefully messy farce. Moreover, from the extravagant art direction to the practical stop-motion effects that hark back to the original’s cartoony mentality, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice matches its predecessor’s anarchic vibe rather well.” Read the full review here.
Brave enough to head to the immersive experience and utter his name three times?
If not and happen to be Europe-based, you can always head to “The World of Tim Burton” exhibition, which has been staged in 14 cities in 11 countries since 2014. It opened yesterday in London’s Design Museum, with some brand new additions. Check out some of the images, as well as Tim Burton’s views on AI.
