Arquette told Insider "every detail" of the original filming location has been restored to its former 1990s glory. "There's the landlines, there's Jiffy pop, there's Reddi-whip," he said.

According to the listing, there's even a vintage microwave in the kitchen for guests to pop popcorn before bingeing the movies on VHS.

Up to four people can stay overnight and they'll find many nods to the home's infamous past - the bedroom, for example, has a Woodsboro High banner and a chest revealing a not-so-subtly hidden Ghostface costume.

Arquette, who was 26 when the first "Scream" movie was released in December 1997, said he was thoroughly impressed at how the home has been returned to its 1990s roots.

"You can tell the designers involved really love the films," he said. "There's even a door that has Ghostface's knife marks from actual filming from the first film."
