Instead of trick or treating this year, why not spend the night at one of cinema's most recognizable spooky spots?

The location in question is the cottage from Hocus Pocus. The Sanderson Sisters are back after 29 years, with the release of Hocus Pocus 2 finally upon us, gracing Disney+ on Sept. 30. To commemorate the occasion, Airbnb has replicated the spooky, spellbinding cottage of dramatic witches Winifred, Mary, and Sarah (played by Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker), tucked within the woods of Salem, Massachusetts.

Hosted by the Sanderson Sisters on the app, the cottage appears to be a near-perfect replica of the witches' home from the films. Broomsticks, apothecary bottles, and melted wax candles are found in every crevice; ancient spell books line the walls, and a smouldering cauldron sits in the middle of it all. Basically, a Hocus Pocus-fan's dream.

Airbnb is offering two guests the chance to stay in the historic cottage, with activities available, too. This includes a special screening of Hocus Pocus 2 and the chance to explore the history of Salem with visits to the town's most haunted properties. At this time, Airbnb is also making a donation to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Salem.

The website also says that guests can "try their hand" at the spells that the sister's use for their scheming, but it's a bit of a mystery as to how that'll be executed. The house does feature a massive cauldron at the center, so chances are that some Hocus Pocus-esque magic can take place right there.

The exclusive stay is open for two guests on Oct. 20 for $31 for the night, not including taxes and fees. Like with the Home Alone Airbnb offered last year, it's not a contest but it's first-come-first-serve as to who gets to stay.

If you do want to step into the sister's humble — and creaky — abode, check out Airbnb's website. Let the mischief begin.

Hocus Pocus 2 is streaming on Disney+ from Sept. 30.
