Fans of Tim Burton’s cult film can now request a reservation for the immersive experience, available for up to six people. Reservations are open until Nov 4, 2024 at 11:59pm (Pacific time).
Step into the Shoes of Artist Delia Deetz
The lucky few chosen by the accommodation platform will have the opportunity to step into the shoes of artist Delia Deetz as they visit the haunted dwelling.
Explore the Creations and Paintings of the Late Artist
Presented as an extension of the character’s exhibition “The Human Canvas” in New York, this new experience will take followers of the Beetlejuice world on a special journey. They will wander the corridors of the mansion, discovering the creations and paintings of the late artist.
An Art Class and a Mysterious Task
They’ll enjoy an art class before being instructed to destroy their creation and leave with just a small piece of it, Airbnb states. The description also hints that participants will be able to enjoy appetizers: “Savour avant-garde bites to spark your creativity and allow my genius to illuminate each stroke as you craft a communal masterpiece.”
The tour continues into the terrifying atmosphere of the attic, following in the footsteps of Beetlejuice.
What to Expect and What to Keep in Mind
While there are plenty of surprises in store, participants will have to make their own way to and from the mansion in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey, USA. In addition, travelers are not permitted to spend the night within the walls of the haunted residence. They will have to travel to the nearby town of Princeton, New Jersey, where overnight accommodation will await them.
Requirements and Eligibility
Anyone with an Airbnb account anywhere in the world can take part. The event, details of which are available here, is part of the platform’s “Icons” program.
Airbnb’s History of Set-Jetting
This isn’t the first time Airbnb has offered guests the chance to stay in iconic locations from films or TV series. Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment from “Sex and the City,” the house from “Home Alone” and even the swamp from Shrek have already been put up for rent. This trend is part of the “set-jetting” phenomenon, where travelers choose their destinations based on their favorite films and series.
A Film and Its Legacy
Tim Burton’s cult classic “Beetlejuice,” released in 1988, was a huge popular success. In 2024, the director offered fans a sequel, “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” with the original cast plus Jenna Ortega and Monica Bellucci as new cast members.
