For fans of Halloween and horror films looking to up the ante this spooky season, 'Unique Stays Club' offers the perfect destination -- a horror-themed Airbnb nestled in the California mountains. Located in 'Sugarloaf,' near 'Big Bear Lake,' this retro cabin is styled to pay homage to classic scary movies, making it an ideal retreat for horror aficionados.
Themed throughout to evoke chills, the cabin’s midcentury modern design incorporates iconic horror film references. The bathroom mimics the infamous scene from 'The Shining,' complete with an axe embedded in the door and the chilling “REDRUM” inscription. Guests can also discover the Necronomicon from 'The Evil Dead,' a goat head reminiscent of 'The Witch,' and 'Freddy Krueger’s' sweater hanging in the closet.
For a fully immersive experience, the cabin features eerie sound effects and flickering lights, which guests can control with a switch humorously labeled “Exorcise Demons.” The rental even includes a library of horror movies to set the perfect atmosphere, making this Airbnb a thrilling way to celebrate Halloween.
