“THIS HOUSE IS CLEAN.”….is it, though? Perhaps one of the most iconic totally-not-haunted-houses-with-pool in film history, this Simi Valley abode played a major part in Tobe Hooper’s 1982 classic, “Poltergeist.” If you’re a fan of that film, or are looking to relocate to the area in California, we have some news for you.

Already the subject of numerous op-eds, retrospectives, and documentaries, one favorite studio has acquired an in-the-works biopic about the 6’4 service industry icon who unfortunately took his own life in 2018. A24 has reportedly made an offer for Star Thrower Entertainment’s Bourdain flick. The most interesting part of this news?
