About

Live out all your slasher film dreams at the iconic Halloween house in South Pasadena. For those familiar with the movie, this is the house where Michael Myers kills his sister at the beginning of the film. Interestingly, the house has been designated a landmark by the City of South Pasadena. Built in 1888, it is one of the few remaining frame houses and architectural historians believe it was the city’s first duplex.
