'Dazed and Confused' remains a beloved cult classic If you lived in the 1990s and wanted to travel back in time to the 1970s, there weren't many more enjoyable vehicles than Richard Linklater's 1993 film 'Dazed and Confused.' Linklater originally approached the semi-autobiographical tale of his high school years in Huntsville, intending to make an anti-nostalgia movie to pull back the curtain on the shared misery and lowercase 't' trauma that many of us experienced. The movie, filmed in Austin in 1992, served as an early milestone in Linklater's career, with him making the jump to the more fraught world of studio filmmaking after the breakout success of his micro-budget indie film 'Slacker.' 'Dazed and Confused' also marked one of the first films in the careers of many of its young stars, including Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck and Parker Posey.

Dazed and Confused home up for sale in Austin — and it's less than $1 million
Fans of Dazed and Confused have an opportunity to buy one of the houses featured in the movie. Located in the Allendale neighborhood of Austin, Texas the four-bedroom and two-bathroom house has recently hit the housing market for a price of $950,000. The home was originally purchased in 1965 for around $30,000. The 1993 film Dazed and Confused follows the story of various high schoolers in Texas celebrating their last day of school. The home available for sale belonged to the character Mitch Kramer, a rising freshman who joins the cool group of seniors after they haze him. Kramer was played by Wiley Wiggins in the movie. 'My parents' home has been a special part of Dazed and Confused history. Richard Linklater went to the city of Austin specifically looking for a house with a straight hallway from the front door to the back to make filming easier, and this home was the perfect fit,' Marjorie Tinnell, one of the listing's reps said in an interview with The New York Post. 'Our family pictures were even left up during production — so in a way, I can say I was 'in the movie' too! It's a fun piece of Austin's film legacy, and I love that fans still appreciate it today.' In addition to the home's bedrooms and bathrooms, the front shutters and front door were painted to match one of the movie's scenes where Kramer's character leaves home to jump in the back of David Wooderson's — played by Matthew McConaughey — car. The Austin house also features two office spaces, a dedicated game room, and modern upgrades recently made to the kitchen. Another one of the listing reps Chris Tinnell specifically highlighted the neighborhood, telling the local Austin Fox station, 'Being in Allendale and being between what I call the two D's, that's downtown and the Domain, it's in a fantastic location.' Tinnell also included a line from the movie in the listing video for the house. 'You gotta keep livin', man — L-I-V-I-N '— and this is the perfect place to do it!' the video's description read, referencing McConaughey's classic phrase. The Dazed and Confused house isn't the only well-known home that was recently on the housing market. Back in May 2024, the Home Alone house was put up for sale at over $5 million. The iconic house featured in the 1990 Christmas movie was listed as 'sale pending' in December with the Coldwell Banker Realty website, where the house was listed, now reading 'sold.' The mansion's exterior was used as the McCallister family home in both Home Alone and the 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. Macaulay Culkin, who played Kevin McCallister in the movies, admitted he had thought about buying the house when it hit the market. He told Entertainment Weekly: 'I had half a mind to buy it — just for giggles.' The home, which is 9,000 square feet (836 square meters), was built in 1921 and has four fireplaces, two laundry rooms, two hot tubs, a wet bar, recreation space, a gym, a private cinema room, and an indoor sports court.
