It cost less money to filmHalloweenin 1978 ($320,000) than it will to buy Laurie Strode’s house in 2023. Fortunately, though, the Strode’s family residence won’t require the same amount of feng shui the Myers' house would. Yes, some lucky horror fan and/or collector can now own a piece of cinematic history. On August 04, 2025, the very same house Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her family called home, during John Carpenter’sHalloween, went on the real estate market.
The South Pasadena triplex is located at 1103 Fairview Avenue, and it will cost the new owner approximately $1.8 million (pereXp Realty), depending on that person and their realtor’s negotiating skills. The outside of the house is no longer painted white as it was when Carpenter filmed the exteriors for his movie. The two-door garage appears to be intact, aside from a new color, and the entry next to the parking area is now painted blue.
The Strode house is featured only in a limited capacity during Carpenter’s horror classic. First, Laurie exits the home on her way to school when she promises her dad she’ll drop off the keys at the old Myers’ place. Later, after walking home from school, Laurie spends a little time in the house. The real estate listing mentions “views” as one of the home’s many amenities. Someone might have a hard time selling that one, though. In the film, while Laurie talks to her friend Annie Brackett (Nancy Loomis) on the phone, she observes Michael Myers from the window — standing outside, hiding within the flapping sheets of the hanging linens. Yeah… so much for the view.

Buy Laurie Strode’s Home for $1.8 million
After Annie (Nancy Loomis) picks up Laurie (Jamie Lee Curtis) outside of her house, en route to go babysitting, the Strode home is left behind. The rest of the movie takes place, at least for Laurie and her friends, in and around the Doyle and Wallace residences. Obviously, the Strode’s home would make a fine addition to some horror enthusiast’s memorabilia collection.
The nearly 2,700-square-foot triplex was built 117 years ago in 1906, so it is well over a century old. It’s also quite a bit more expensive than what the old Myers’ house in the 1978 movie sold for. The home that Judith Myers was murdered in by her little brother Michael cost its owner only $1. That’s not a typo. The Michael Myers’ childhood haunt sold for one, single dollar. The home was supposed to be demolished in 1987. After it was bought, the house had to be physically moved to 1000 Mission Street in South Pasadena, which is literally a stone’s throw away from the exteriors used for the hardware store inHalloween.Today, the Myers' house is a tourist attraction.
There’s definitely a market forthese kinds of real estate collectibles. In January of 2022, the famed house from theA Nightmare on Elm Streetfilm franchise sold for a jaw-dropping $2.98 million after being listed in 2021 for $3.25 million. Then there’sThe Amityville Horrorhome from the original 1979 film, which was purchased for $1.46 million earlier this year.
And the famed Blairstown Diner, featured in the originalFriday the 13th(1980), recently found its way onto the real estate market. The one-story establishment is nearly 1,400 square feet, and it’s a steal compared to the Strode,Elm StreetandAmityvillehouses. A horror film fan and/or collector can purchase the Blairstown Diner for only $675,000, at the time of this writing.
