💡Weekly Inn-Sight

Which historic hotel holds the Guinness World Record for hosting the world's longest-running Halloween party, started in 1938

 ✨ | Suite  Spotlight

Beetlejuice, Bettlejuice, Bettleju..shhhhh 

Well, well, well... Airbnb just dropped the stay of the afterlife! They're opening the doors to THE Beetlejuice house in Hillsborough, NJ.

Instead of a basic overnight stay (boring), they're giving you a FREE 3-hour paranormal experience + Princeton hotel stay. That's right. FREE.

🏚️👻 | "Don't Say His Name" Experience 

It's a chance to step into cinematic horror history...

• VIP access to the infamous house.

• Exclusive peek at the Winter River model attic (featured in BOTH movies!).

• Art class with "Delia Deetz" (your ghost host with the most).

• FREE hotel stay in Princeton included (because sleeping in a haunted house is so 1988).

Fun fact: While the original 1988 Beetlejuice house was just a facade with all interior scenes filmed on Hollywood soundstages, this New Jersey tribute is bringing the haunted house to life as a fully immersive experience. (No word on whether the sandworms are included. 🪱)

🛸 | Suite Stays

Where E.T. meets luxe

Forget the haunted houses—how about beaming yourself to a literal UFO suspended in the middle of a Swedish forest? The Treehotel in Sweden takes stays to the next level with its iconic UFO suite.

Inside your private mothership (yes, you read that right), curved walls and round windows nail that "just abducted" vibe, while mood lighting sets the scene for close encounters.

And unlike those sketchy UFO sightings your uncle swears by, this one comes with Wi-Fi, heating, and a bathroom (though no shower – apparently aliens haven't mastered that technology yet).

👽🛸 | Hotel…Phone…Home

"Oh, you stayed in a 5-star hotel? That's cute. I slept in a UFO."

• Retractable staircase that makes every entrance feel like a sci-fi movie scene.

• Sleeps 5 humans (or presumably 12 small aliens).

• Nestled in Swedish Lapland, perfect view of the Northern Lights (aka free alien light show)

👀 | Stays Gone Wild

The Craziest Stays Around the INN-ternet

This week’s “STAYS gone wild,” I found the most “extra'“ haunted house that’s not actually haunted.

For the price of your sanity (and their nightly rate), you can experience "ghostly illusions" that come with - wait for it - their own remote control. Because nothing says authentic haunted experience like spirits with an off switch!

Sleep in themed rooms like "The Raven" and "The Fortune Teller," complete with spooky projections and eerie sounds. There's even a hot tub outside, nothing says "authentic haunted experience" quite like doing the Monster Mash in a jacuzzi.

👍️ 👎️ | Stay or Nay 

Would You Dare?

🤡 Wanna sleep with 2,050 Clowns? Challenge Accepted!

Alright, gather 'round! I've got a wild one for you today. America's Most Haunted Motel™️ in Tonopah, Nevada isn't clowning around. The infamous Clown Motel houses over 2,000 smiling faces and enough nightmares to attract Hollywood horror films on the reg.

Sweet dreams... if you dare
