The author of ‘Conjuring’ seeks a new spirit for the Malibu townhouse

Screenwriter Chad Hayes, half of the duo who wrote the brotherhood behind the film “The Conjuring”, has put his townhouse in Malibu on the market at a price of $ 1,245 million. Or, the place can be rented for $ 7,000 a month.

Located in a gated community near Point Dume, this end unit of around 2,300 square feet has a mixture of hard wood floors and Saltillo tiles, high ceilings and fireplaces in the living room. There are two main bedrooms, each with a balcony, plus an office with a built-in. The powder room sits at the entrance.

Private terrace with landscaping and fountain sitting outside the main living room.

Community amenities include a saltwater swimming pool.

In addition to “The Conjuring” and “The Conjuring 2,” Hayes, along with his brother, Carey, have horror credits which include “House of Wax” Jaume Collet-Serra (2005) and “The Reaping” (2007). Recently, the brothers wrote “The Crucifixion” (2017) and this year “The Turning” starred the actor “Stranger Things”, Finn Wolfhard.

Catherine Bindley from International Realty Sotheby and Debbie Kester from Douglas Elliman hold the list.

The terrace and dining room are located in the main living room.
