Unleash your inner artist with Delia DeetzNew Jersey, United States
Airbnb just got a major aesthetic upgrade, darlings. Say goodbye to boring old Airbnb bookings and activities, and say hello to Delia Deetz’s latest masterpiece: a Beetlejuice-inspired art class just in time for Halloween.
That’s right, she’s stepping away from her Beetlejuice icon fame to host an experience that’s as avant-garde as her own sculptures - all in the name of honouring her legacy. Think of it like therapy with a side of acrylic paints - and possibly a seance or two.
Okay, so Delia won’t technically be standing over your shoulder, critiquing your creative technique (unless she’s doing it from beyond the grave). It’s her assistant that’ll help you unleash your own artistic side (in the creepiest way possible) with the help of a paintbrush and a black-coloured canvas.
Not much of an artist? There’s still plenty to explore. The house itself might be more New York City art exhibit than a comforting place to rest your head, but the spooky paintings, sculptures and a tastefully curated decor all combine to stoke your creative flame.
You can even go exploring; you’ll find the Handbook for the Recently Deceased in the attic, disorientating hallways to walk down and subsequent keyholes to peek through, and if you happen to say HIS name three times, don’t be surprised if you find yourself in The Afterlife.
While you can’t actually stay in the house, this three hour experience will have you putting your skills (and inner turmoil) to good use. Just remember to toss out the artistic rule book - Delia’s never read it.
