For those of you counting down the days to Hocus Pocus 2 (which, by the way, will be released on Disney+ on September 30), get ready to experience the horror in more ways than just watching it The original 1993 film. Ever wanted to channel your inner Sanderson sister? Airbnb employees seem to know this feeling. The rental company just announced an opportunity that brings a whole new meaning to the term "haunted house."
Airbnb recreated the look and feel of a remote cabin owned by the Sanderson sisters in Salem, Massachusetts, to get fans into the Halloween spirit. For those of you who haven't brushed up on Hocus Pocus trivia in a while, Salem was the location where the first movie was filmed, so it's the perfect location to commemorate the sequel. The space itself is decorated with a hanging cauldron in the living room, a cupboard filled with potion bottles for casting spells, and bedding inspired by each of the witch sisters.
Guests can also try their hand at magic from an ancient spell book (yes, there's one) and explore the surrounding Salem area, which has a dark history of witchcraft—but you already knew that. Lucky guests will also catch a special screening of Hocus Pocus 2 during their stay. So, go ahead and get ready for the ultimate fall getaway. NOTE: Don't expect Winifred, Sarah, and Mary to appear physically, although it's safe to assume they will appear spiritually.
This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is available through Airbnb for a limited time. Guests must request an exclusive stay at airbnb.com/hocuspocus2 when the property becomes available on Wednesday, October 12 at 1pm ET. When making a request, users must explain why they are coming to Salem. One lucky winner will receive a one-night stay on October 20th. Believe it or not—if you get a reservation, you'll only pay $31 for your stay (not including additional taxes and fees).
All that’s left to do is set a reminder for October 12th, prepare answers to reservation requests, and maybe watch Hocus Pocus to get you excited about the possibility of a magical evening at the Sanderson Sisters. Thankfully, this classic is available to watch on Disney+ and pairs perfectly with some pumpkin-flavored snacks. I have a feeling you have a Halloween movie night in your future.
