Infamous "Poltergeist" house available for rent in Southern California
The home where the horror film "Poltergeist" took place is available for rent in Southern California, and has been completely redesigned to mimic the set from the 1982 cult classic, where visitors are advised to "Stay away from the light!" The four-bedroom home, located on Roxbury Street in Simi Valley, gives renters the chance to relive the spooky — and potentially traumatizing — experience they felt upon watching the movie for the first time, right down to the Freeling family's iconic television set and living room setup. According to the booking website, the property is nearly 2,400-square-feet and also features multiple bathrooms, a large swimming pool, a fire pit and a spa. Booking starts at $600 a night and can sleep up to eight people and pets. "It's spooky yet cozy. Cinematic magic, family-friendly fun, legendary vibes, and good memories," the website says. "It's perfect for families, fans, and brave travelers alike. Come for the legend. Leave with your own story." Despite the home's sinister association, property owners say that ghost hunting and séances are not allowed. "No Ouija boards, rituals, or spiritual summoning. A cleansing fee will be applied (seriously)," the website says. Last year, the property was listed for sale for the first time in more than four decades.

Vladimir Putin's Coming to Alaska and Late Night Is Amused
Welcome to Best of Late Night, a rundown of the previous night's highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now. Keeping Things Chill Vladimir Putin and President Trump plan to meet in Alaska on Friday. 'Yeah, Putin has come all the way to the U.S. to meet with Trump,' Jimmy Fallon said. 'He was like, 'Oh, this could've been a hacked email.'' 'Trump loves talking about keeping criminal foreigners out of the country, and now he's like, [imitating Trump] 'Vladimir Putin, come on over. Come on, stay with me if you want.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'But Putin is excited. Today he told Trump, 'In Russia, we also have 'Hunting Wives,' but they chase bear with knife.'' — JIMMY FALLON 'Trump also said he believes that he has a chance at organizing a trilateral meeting with Putin and Zelensky. The last time Trump had a trilateral meeting was on Epstein Island." — JIMMY FALLON 'If you're wondering why Alaska, it's the only way he'd wear a shirt.' — SETH MEYERS, referring to Putin The Punchiest Punchlines (No More Mr. Nice Guy Edition) 'In a post yesterday on Truth Social, President Trump teased today's White House press conference about his plans to fight crime in Washington, D.C. and said, 'There will be no more MR. NICE GUY.' Wait a minute — there was a nice guy? '[imitating Trump] Bad news, that kind-hearted, jovial man you knew is gone. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's citizenship.'' — SETH MEYERS 'I don't know, man. Based on what I just heard about Washington, D.C., it's the last place I'd build a fancy ballroom. I just heard that place is, like, worse than Bogotá.' — SETH MEYERS 'We're going to build a beautiful ballroom: gold inlays, crystal chandeliers, Corinthian columns. Moving on, right outside these doors is a crimescape the likes of which we've never seen. So, needless to say, hush-hush on the gold inlays.' — SETH MEYERS, imitating Trump 'But I mean, the man's got a point. D.C. can be a very, very dangerous place. I remember on Jan. 6, 2021, when someone told an angry mob to get their steps in by storming the Capitol, and that someone was the president.' — NICOLE BYER, guest host of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' The Bits Worth Watching On Friday's 'Real Time,' Bill Maher said the actor Dean Cain had joined ICE 'not because he's MAGA — he just needs the money.' What We're Excited About on Tuesday Night The actress Zoë Kravitz will appear on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.' Also, Check This Out The siblings Lupita and Junior Nyong'o star together in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night,' at the newly renovated Delacorte Theater in Central Park.
