Would it be too cliche to kick this off with an age-old question…what’s your favorite scary movie? My favorite all-time horror film franchise is Nightmare on Elm Street because I’ve always equally loved and terrified of Freddy Kreuger. And while my love of this horror franchise is celebrated every October with a binge-watch of the films, what if I could kick the experience up a notch this year? Welcome to the horror-themed cabin in Big Bear, California, which brings horror movies to life right in front of your eyes. Are you brave enough to stay in this hauntingly fun Airbnb?
Horror fans unite for a hauntingly good time spending the night at this Airbnb in Big Bear…if you dare.
In this rental, you’ll be able to experience a unique and retro movie-inspired adventure, stepping inside your very own horror movie. Inspired by your favorite horror classics, the details throughout this Airbnb really level up the stay.
In the main living space of the cabin, elaborate special effects have been set up to add to the spooky atmosphere. These effects include flickering lights, static on the vintage TV, and ghostly sound effects.
They activate at random intervals during your stay, but fear not, as they can easily be toggled on or off with a simple switch located in the hallway.
Horror film fans will recognize the bathroom, which pays homage to The Shining, especially when you look at the word scrawled on the door from the mirror’s reflection.
Prepare to dive into a realm of classic scary movie nostalgia within the bedroom, too! Adorned with shelves brimming with horror movie props and collectibles, as well as walls filled with nostalgic posters and artwork, the ambiance is truly immersive.
Should you summon the courage to press the sizable green button on the wall, a delightful surprise awaits: disco lights dance to the beat of 7 different horror movie themes and chilling tunes, truly animating the space!
You are encouraged to explore, as behind every door and within each drawer lie hidden "easter eggs" and treats meticulously crafted for horror movie aficionados.
Beyond just cozying up on the couch and watching your favorite scary movie with some popcorn, you can also try to solve the escape game-esque puzzle that the owners created!
