Buyers and sellers can now create the home of their dreams and worst nightmares on realtor.com®. Just in time for Halloween, realtor.com®, a leading provider of online real estate services operated by News Corp subsidiary Move, Inc. today announced the launch of "Build Your Own Haunted House."
Consumers can build a spooky home complete with haunts and sounds and share it via email, Facebook or Twitter any time during the month of October. The haunted house option offers a menu of animated and customizable options such as lighting color to adorn the outside of the home as well as lawn features, including a customizable for-sale sign, tombstones, jack-o-lanterns and skeletons. Spooky homes also can be customized with flying features that include witches, ghosts, crows, or bats, and sounds from wailing ghosts, shrieking witches, thunder or wind to add even more fright.
Since no Halloween is complete without a creepy costume, users also have the option to place a headshot onto a zombie as part of their scary home scene. Once the house is complete, it comes alive with the sights and sounds of Halloween.
"At realtor.com, we want to make the home experience enjoyable, and what's more fun than having the opportunity to build your own haunted house and share it with friends and family," said Nate Johnson, chief marketing officer for realtor.com®. "This speaks to the brand experience we are trying to create at realtor.com."
Users are invited to "Share the Scare" with all their friends, an option which encourages them to show off their creepy creation by either sending a "Happy Halloween" email-o-gram with a personalized note or posting their haunted house to Twitter or Facebook.
Realtor.com®'s "Build Your Own Haunted House" will be available until midnight on Oct. 31.
