The reproduction of the haunted house experience is very detailed; it could be mistaken for the film set of the movie. On the outside of the haunted house it has an architectural style described as being a combination of small town Americana and Victorian gothic. According to Airbnb, the house will be covered by a mourning veil for Delia’s beloved husband and memories, along with ghosts, Delia’s artwork, and a portal into the afterlife. On the other hand, inside the house, guests won’t only find abstract sculptures of the characters, but multiple assets and scenes from the BeetleJuice Beetlejuice 1988 movie.
Delia stated, “Now that my work is posthumously appreciating in value and recognition, it’s only fair that artistic souls be invited to my magnificent home. So come admire my life’s work and create with a capital “C” in the first-ever art class from beyond the grave. Just watch out for that pesky trickster in the attic!”
