Tonight’s ‘Ghost Adventures’ Premiere Investigates the ‘Poltergeist’ Movie House
As you may recall, the Poltergeist house in Simi Valley, California – as in, the house that served as the filming location for Tobe Hooper’s horror classic – went up for grabs last year, and the home’s new owner has invited Zak Bagans and the “Ghost Adventures” crew inside.
The single family residence was built in 1979, just a couple years before the Poltergeist crew came into town, and it’s located on 4267 Roxbury Street in Simi Valley, California.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,373 square foot home sold last year for $1.2 million, with the historic horror property including a pool house and a massive in-ground pool.
The “Ghost Adventures” team steps foot inside the iconic home for the season premiere of the popular series on Discovery Channel tonight – Wednesday, April 16 – at 10pm ET.
This very special two-hour season premiere marks the very first time the Poltergeist house has been investigated, with Bagans and his team exploring the infamous “Poltergeist Curse.”
“It was mind-blowing,” Bagans tells PEOPLE. “To be in the house that was in the movie, but also to know that there is actual paranormal events occurring there, it just blindsided me.”
He adds, “I wanted to see whether or not there was some type of inception for this curse, what would be the beginning of it. Why were some of the cast and crew complaining about paranormal occurrences while filming? Where did this originate from? And so much of the film was filmed at the house, I wanted to see if something there could be responsible.”
Check out some clips below and watch along as Zak Bagans and his “Ghost Adventures” team investigate the Poltergeist movie house on Discovery Channel tonight at 10pm ET.

AMC’s horror series “The Terror” wrapped its third season last month, but plans are already in motion for season four.
Executive producer David W. Zucker has confirmed that “The Terror” Season 4 is moving forward in a new chat with ScreenRant, revealing that they’ve “just closed the deal on the book we’re gonna develop next” for the series.
Which novel they’re adapting remains shrouded in secrecy at this stage, however.
That might not seem like much to go on at this stage, but the second season was an original story. Furthermore, there was a lengthy gap between seasons two and three, causing many to speculate that the third season would be the anthology series’ last. Unlike its first two, Season 3 shifted from airing on AMC to a dual Shudder and AMC+ weekly release plan, with neither streamer revealing viewership numbers.
So not only is this confirmation that the series is moving forward, but it won’t be another six years before we see Season 4.
The first season of the supernatural drama, based on Dan Simmons’ novel and aired in 2018, was set on the frigid decks of a Victorian Era sailing ship following a doomed course, while season two, “The Terror: Infamy,” which premiered in August 2019, centered on a malevolent, shape-shifting force that is locked up with prisoners in a Japanese internment camp.
Season 3, “The Terror: Devil in Silver,” tells the story of Pepper – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself.
Dan Stevens (The Guest, Abigail) stars alongside Judith Light, CCH Pounder, Aasif Mandvi, John Benjamin Hickey, Stephen Root, Michael Aronov, Marin Ireland, Chinaza Uche, Hampton Fluker, Hayward Leach, and Philip Ettinger.
The six-episode new season is based on Victor LaValle’s novel, The Devil in Silver.
