Serial Killer's House from Cult Horror Film for Rent: Visitors Must Meet One Condition!
The new owner, Kris Roun, a longtime horror fan and film set designer, bought the property and restored it to its cinematic glory. For the renovation, he hired Tom Savini and his team, who rebuilt the well-known pit in the house's basement. The house has four bedrooms, including 'The Precious Suite,' named after Bill's Bichon Frise, and a retro arcade upstairs. One of the more unusual moments was when a guest booked the house to propose to his girlfriend by lowering a ring in a basket down the basement pit.
