For anyone looking to buy a house in New Hampshire with a desire to have their own slice of Haddonfield living, especially with Halloween approaching, then the folks at Realtor.com and Zillow have the perfect abode for sale. The listing for a $375,000 two-bedroom home in Weare, New Hampshire, went viral after it was posted on Friday due in part to creepy cameos from Halloween’s iconic horror villain Michael Myers checking out the house…or potential buyers.

Several photos shared on Realtor.com and Zillow show the knife-wielding madman peeking inside or hiding behind pieces of furniture and in various parts of the home. Thankfully, Myers can be easily spotted, so no prospective homeowners need not fear any jump scares. The listing quickly went viral in a post shared by the Twitter account Zillow Gone Wild, and within hours, the tweet featuring the photos of the home was liked thousands of times.

According to the real estate website Zillow, the average home in New Hampshire is valued at $438,246, a 16 percent increase in one year, and a property detail description on Realtor.com said the home is perched on a hilltop and overlooks the forests in Weare.

The lower level has a separate laundry room and bar area that the real estate agent said could be used as a play space or as an office.

“The main level has a living room, kitchen, and dining room. Upstairs was originally three bedrooms but has since been converted to a two-bedroom allowing for a larger primary bedroom.”

Could Such a Stunt Pull in Potential Buyers, or Would It Scare Them Away?

Although Myers is spotted in the photos, he does not come with the house. Speaking with Newsweek, Jonathan Rolande, a property expert at House Buy Fast in the United Kingdom, said that while the stunt helped the homeowner get publicity, it could be unsettling to some prospective buyers.

Rolande added:

“They say any publicity is good publicity and this viral listing will now be seen by potentially millions more people thanks to the Halloween theme. It’s a bold move that could backfire. The seller should, in my opinion, have opted for a slightly less ‘mad axe murderer’ character. The Mike Myers vibe is almost too creepy and could deter a nervous buyer, especially as the property looks a little remote.”

“It’s a great idea, but next time use a friendly-looking ghost, Frankenstein’s Monster, or Dracula for a similar effect without scaring away the buyers."
