That Horrifying Clown Motel is Now Up for Sale
Afraid of clowns? You might want to avoid Nevada altogether.
Located in the small mining town of Tonopah, between Las Vegas and Reno, the Clown Motel has good rates, is pet friendly and offers free internet, but it’s not the amenities that have made it one of the most well-known roadside stops in America. Rather, it’s become a viral hit here on the internet because, well, it’s the scariest motel in America.
Not only is every single room clown-themed, but the lobby is also filled to the brim with creepy clown figures and trinkets. Worse yet, the infamous Clown Motel rests right alongside a cemetery filled with gold miners who died from a plague in the early 1900s.

“It’s like From Dusk Till Dawn conspired with Stephen King’s IT to create a real life horror film,” RoadTrippers.com once perfectly described the creepiest motel in the world.
So why is the motel making headlines once again? Well, Las Vegas Now reports this week that the Clown Motel has been put up for sale by its owner, who’s looking to retire. Bob Perchetti opened the Clown Motel 20 years ago, and he’s ready to move on – we can only assume that the undead miners and creepy clowns finally drove him from the premises.
“I’m going to go fishing. I want to go enjoy myself,” said Perchetti. “It became a way of life with me. It’s funny you get attached to something. I haven’t gone so far as to start talking to them. Oh, I’m going to miss the clowns. I’m going to come back. I’m going to come back and visit my clowns.”
You can own the Clown Motel for just $900,000.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
