Inside Halloween 1978 Laurie Strode House

[@AlanTownUSA]

Hey Adam, when I was at the first open house earlier this week, I too was surprised it didn't already have offers and there were hardly any lookers. The realtor told me they weren't entertaining any offers until they had the open houses.. The view from the top bedroom is absolute perfection. I too, noticed how the downstairs bedroom was very oddly-shaped. Old houses were sometimes funny that way. I think the living rooms were everything.

[@timbit72]

Very cool...on one hand its almost meant to be your house & with the two rentals it seems like a no brainer from a financial standpoint...but if i put myself in your shoes as a fairly private person, the constant attention might get a little much. Remember not everyone is as considerate or uses any common sense towards the homeowners as you do...Youve already got halloween fans coming by all day on tour buses and on foot & now all the lunatics on the internet know where you live...quite the conundrum

[@Danny_S.]

Adam, buy that house! :-)

[@mrstitch6325]

Do NOT buy that house. Just watching your video there’s at least 75k in renovations that need to be made. And the fact that they won’t even show you the basement until they’ve accepted your offer is a major red flag. I’m guessing extensive water damage or a hot water heater on its last leg. I’m guessing before it’s all said and done this house needs 200k in repairs and remodels. The didn’t even do the basic stuff when selling a home like repainting the interior.

[@selbyjohnson5986]

more like 500k for renovations in California

[@Sam-02024]

The lady that lived there was so nice! We planned to give her a gift for Halloween this year, so when I saw this I was bummed! She also had a laminated sheet with Halloween filming locations (and a couple of other movies,) pictures, quotes, and more. We hope the new owners will embrace the fans the way she did 🧡

[@HiSpeedDrifter]

Yes, she was a wonderful host to the movie fans who showed up at her house. She walked up to us with the biggest friendly smile ever and handed us a pumpkin to film with. May she be blessed wherever she goes.

[@andrewhosfeld]

Laurie Strode’s house is significantly more welcoming than Cousin Eddie’s house of horrors.

[@adamo.1319]

Right!!!

[@princessmarlena1359]

Definitely

[@jamesacklin7261]

Idk I liked Cousin Eddie’s house a little more. Nice guy.

they originally filmed lauries bedroom scene in that house, but then refilmed it in the doyle house, which is why the bedroom is not there today. beautiful house!

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

@@TheDailyWoo You know what you COULD DO: You could make this like a Bed and Breakfast, which is not an Air B & B, it's a business, using the sublets too. (Too bad it's not like the 5-ALIVE house, where you could have the fans of the film rent it out, but a BED AND BREAKFEST where the caretaker IS ON THE PROPERTY, I am sure is a different matter.) You could purchase memorabilia and real props from the movie to decorate and charge a good price!

Mr. Woo, I heard on the news that this was up for sale. Glad you got tape on it.

[@tiamia7139]

Hi Adam, you are in my old hometown. I grew up on Pasadena Ave., went to Lincoln Elementary on El Centro (now El Centro Elementary). I went to South Pasadena Library every other weekend. Great, cozy, friendly neighborhood with very eclectic homes and interesting people. So fun to see how it looks today. (Those tracks are 3 blocks from our old house.)

[@michaeltoste3987]

Well done sir! I really appreciate being able to see inside. You saved me a long trip from Fresno. I was convinced that was Lauries room with the view of the clothes line.

[@CC-kg8ce]

You did this iconic site justice. It deserves every accolade.

[@spacecat7247]

Friends of mine lived across the street when it was being filmed. We spent a bit of time watching the crew, on the scene. There were always film crews running around south pasadena back in the day. I would expect its still sees a bit of action.

[@TheDailyWoo]

That’s pretty dang cool. Would have been awesome to see the behind the scenes of a classic

[@spacecat7247]

@@TheDailyWoo Yeah I know you get around, I watch you. Good content my friend. South pasadena and pasadena have a very long history of remote filming locations being so close to hollywood. So. Pasadena has managed to stem certain "tides" I was just there a couple months ago ,visiting. It was a neat little town to grow up in.

[@larrybarnes2918]

FWIW: I THINK (90%) Sean Clark discovered the interiors of 78 Strode house were filmed at the Nightmare on Elm Street house… same rocking horse seen in both movies and he matched up the windows, if memory serves.

[@Caffeine_Club]

You are 100% correct sir.

[@adamk8197]

Read the article and watched the youtube of Sean Clark mentioning this. He only says it was Nancy's bedroom from Halloween. But where was Laurie's bedroom scene shot? The one where she sees Michael outside in the clothesline?

[@jackmcgill3150]

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I never thought I'd ever get to see the inside of a house from my favorite movie of all time! Great job!

[@M1031R]

The clothesline scene was filmed with The Shape standing in the backyard of 1533 North Orange Grove Avenue, looking up towards the small balcony at the back of the house. That house is located next to Lindsay Wallace's house, located at 1537 N. Orange Grove Ave. Laurie Strode's bedroom was actually filmed in Tommy Doyle’s house, located at 1530 N. Orange Grove Ave. at the front of the house on the driveway side. The window she looks out of is located on the south face, above the driveway. The room was made use of again later in the film, when Laurie throws the potted plant at the house and Tommy appears at the window.

[@brewcrew5854]

u seem to be super well versed on filming locations where do u think that deleted/made for tv scene was filmed where linda was talking to laurie in her living room about being followed possibly by meyers or devon graham ? one other thing does anyone find it weird that the lyndsey house had a laundry room outside house when if its supposed to be in illinois where the winters are quite cold/snowy who would want to go out to do that stuff in freezing weather- i know who cares but this is my all time fav film !

[@PaulH.]

Good to see that someone actually looked at my Halloween location website 😍

[@M1031R]

[@danielmccoy-md3zd]

That’s some terrific knowledge … now I’m Google mapping away

[@bambikiller338]

Inside the pink bathroom in that medicine cabinet is a small slit that you put your used razor blades in, and that would always baffle renovators why the walls were filled with razor blades.

[@princessmarlena1359]

I remember those. 🤣

[@mustangcindy1303]

I hope whoever buys the house likes the movie and understands their house is always going to have people visiting (at least on the street). Hopefully they are cool about it. The Halloween movie franchise and the Conjuring movies are my favorite Halloween movies.

[@princessmarlena1359]

I would embrace it, dress up as Michael and run out of the house or bang on the window from inside to greet visitors, or I would dress up as Laurie and come up to them and say “Michael is coming! RUN!”.

[@pameladonnelson2093]

I love old houses like this. ❤

[@dogdaze598]

Thank you Adam.. that was probably the most interesting & fun videos I've watched on KZbin I am a huge fan of the franchise & being able to see not only the inside of Laurie's house but to get an idea of what the inside of some of the homes in this area of ca. Was fantastic you did an awesome job, again thanks a million, take care.

[@advlandvideo]

Personally, I would lease all three units and utilize a property manager as the front man. I can't imagine playing Mr. Furly to a bunch of strangers. Once you have satisfied your mortgage and saved enough for renovations, it would make a huge personal home with space for a home theater and guest quarters. 😊

[@HiSpeedDrifter]

Laurie Strode's house is extremely large in person. It's much bigger than it appears to be in the movie. It's too bad that they're selling it. The current owner is super friendly.

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Very nice, but $1.8M for a house with no central AC? That's quite a premium for movie provenance. Glad you could check this off your bucket list, Adam. Thanks for taking us along.

[@revealandreview9662]

Very cool video. I always assumed Laurie's room was in that house. Sometimes knowing behind the scenes stuff like that messes with the enjoyment of the movie for me because I'll think about it every time I watch the movie from now on. Someone once pointed out a continuity error that I never noticed before after seeing the movie dozens of times. Now I notice every time I watch. Everyone knows the movie was really filmed in Pasadena, California but it's supposed to be in Illinois. At the beginning of the movie when Laurie and the other 2 girls are walking home from school they're walking down the sidewalk and they cross a street. If you look down the street you can see palm trees in the distance. Of course there aren't palm trees in Illinois. Never noticed until it was pointed out to me and now I wait for the palm trees in Illinois every time I watch the movie.

[@NadaSurferTube]

Whenever I do my round of the Freddy and Halloween house location visits in West Hollywood and South Pasadena I tend to also go to the Bristol Farms nearby to shop, and to get "The Cookie", as for some random reason there's conveniently a Bristol Farms within walking distance of both areas. :) Also I hope you get around to covering the Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens nearby, it's absolutely gorgeous and very relaxing, and it would be a perfect west coast bookend to your other video on Brookgreen Gardens in South Carolina that you covered last year. ✌

[@kevingreen5793]

As a NY/CT realtor I wish I had this listing! I bet that'll be a nice commission check whoever sells it!

I found myself doing math when he mentions living in one unit and renting out the other two 😏

[@catherinetozzi8056]

So interesting! You certainly missed out on a career with FBI or CIA, You do such a good job all the time putting 2 and 2 together, figuring out what goes where, who did that, what happened here. It’s like watching a mystery and then you explaining it, Thanks Adam, really enjoyed my trip to Pasadena. I do remember you were there last Halloween with Daphne,,,,,,least I think it was there, ❤️🙏🏽

[@Recordology]

I love Adam’s ‘hushed but excited voice’ 😂

[@wpp7562]

I was at the first open house last weekend, Adam! Great video as always! Love your videos! But even at 1.8mil it's a lot needed to be done - couldn't go in the basement and no central air. But being a huge Halloween fan and living in the area (I always do a Halloween filming location walk around every October with my friends), it was great to finally see inside the house!

[@toddprater14]

Wow pasedena was shot cause it looks like back east homes and I agree, I live in Michigan…the Van Halen’s and David lee Roth were from pasedena ca…I live this city would love to live there , but that 1.8 million house was probably 90,000 in the late 60’s now no one can live in ca ….if your family didn’t uproot from the east and move to the west in the late 60’s 70’s at the latest you can’t live there..sad.

[@Blueskys1972]

The mortgage on 1.8 million would be alot, but the property taxes will be forever. And the rent you would have to charge to help pay for the mortgage would be a lot. Pasadena has rent control now. My husband and I are landlords and right now is not a good time to be a landlord of any kind anywhere here in California. I just hope whoever buys it doesn't knock it down. They love knocking things down here. And a real reality check, you don't always get the best tenants.

Hope who ever buys it treasures it the way the previous lady did. Allowing fans to experience it without being chased away. Wish I could purchase it. Sadly I'm on east coast and already own a home that bleeds me dry! I'll split it with you Adam! Lol

[@chadmears136]

Cool video Adam ❤😊

[@djwonder4635]

This is your sign to buy the house! Interior design would be mad fun on this one. Also will have the ability to do several events on property which could generate money all Sept-October - much like the Scream house viewing parties.

Think it would be cool if you bought the Halloween house! The prices of houses always going up great investment interest rates are crazy though.

[@nancydobbins8540]

Do it Adam! Buy it. That would be so cool!

[@maureen14]

I think it would be perfect for you, Adam, you love the area, and when you travel, you could have your tenants help watch your place, keep an Eye on the place you know, maybe for a little reduced rent the months that you're gone. There's lots of potential possibilities with this home.

[@maureen14]

I can see the wheels turning in your head Adam! Buy it! It would be a great investment properly! You would never run out of tenants.🎃

[@Gnalysis]

Is it still open to the public to go inside and look around?

[@angelinainhollywoodland9023]

I am kinda think'n your first instinct about the windows might not have been wrong. If they recreated this in the studio, then you would be right about this at the time probably having been the bedroom for sure. Another one that's cool from Adam the Woo!

[@sangeronimoband9018]

Why could you not rent out. Rent would have to be at least 3000 per month

[@cathrineburks7243]

You should make an offer on the Strode house . There are all kinds of ways for you to monetize this property. Plus it could serve as your home base when you visit SoCal. And you can save money on hotels there.

Your suspicion is correct Adam, Laurie's bedroom was not filmed there and neither was the backyard scene with the clothesline.
