You wouldn’t get me through the door/doors. Why so many front doors!?

Love that it’s practically on Elm Street.

zaffa · 14/05/2022 06:53

Whilst the pics are obviously crazy, that is a lot of house for less than $200k!!

TimeToChangeItUpNow · 14/05/2022 07:39

I think they are trying not to sell. It has made me go cold!

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 14/05/2022 07:42

That's hilarious

LaurieFairyCake · 14/05/2022 07:54

That's fantastic!!!

If only you were allowed to move to the USA (from UK)

Thelikelylass · 14/05/2022 08:04

whirling autumn leaves and some 'Tubular Bells' accompanying it and it would be perfect.

I thought it was funny. Wouldn't put me off looking.

It made me laugh alot.

But there aint no way I would go and look so you are braver than me!!

SkiingIsHeaven · 14/05/2022 08:54

The house is just off Elm Street. That's why. Look at the map.

Creative34 · 14/05/2022 09:46

He should have dressed up as Freddy Kruger instead, it’s one street away from Elm street

BreakorMake · 14/05/2022 09:53

It's just a gimmick, playing on the fact that the property backs on to Elm Street.

LondonQueen · 14/05/2022 09:58

Blimey!

FabulousKilljoys · 14/05/2022 16:01

I like the idea that Michael Myers lives in the next street to his pal Freddy Kruger 😂

Not for me. The pic where you just see the bottom of his legs and the tip of a big knife? I'd never be able to get that pic out my head.

But he's wearing socks. Not scary! He needs pointy leather black boots on. The socks 🙄😂

The scariest thing about that house is the god awful dark wood and grey carpet.

They love all that shit in America though. And textured walls. They have no aversion to brown, all the shades of brown.

polkadotpixie · 14/05/2022 22:43

For that price I'd put up with the creepy guy 😂

So untrue.

That is an old house with original woodwork (and pocket doors), still sporting its original dark stain.

The textured walls are unusual unless a house was owned by a very elderly individual, and in a very rural setting, which is where Carlinville, IL is.

Parts of the house were probably redone (kitchen and basement anyway) fairly recently but whoever redid it left the carpets and textured walls from the 70s or 80s.

I lost the plot giggling at that one Grin

Michael peeking out of cupboards, washing his hands and cooking. I love it!

WhackingPhoenix · 15/05/2022 01:15

Also I’m Shock at all the comments calling him the ‘creepy dude’, ‘the man thing’...he’s one of the most famous horror characters of the last 40 years!

Well, that's me having nightmares tonight! Thankfully I don't live near Elm Street so will only be haunted by one character in my dreams!

viques · 15/05/2022 01:45

Over 404,000 views, but I wonder if there have been any actual viewings, or offers!

HeArInGhandsgirl11 · 15/05/2022 01:54

Some strange people around!

Whykea · 15/05/2022 02:02

I really want to look but I'm too scared now 😂 you all did a good collective job of hyping it up! I'll just wait until the morning.

It’s just Michael Myers in the shower, on the toilet, meditating cross-legged on the floor and peeking round corners. All amusing, nothing scary Grin

I bet there are lovely wood floors under all that awful carpet.

But nobody will ever find out.

Well they may, when they get buried underneath.
