A Los Angeles house famous for giving nightmares has sold for stunning $2.1 million after an extensive renovation.

Feature in the famous 80s slasher film 'A Nightmare on Elm Street', the home's eerie red door featured prominently in some of the movie's most shocking scenes.

Unworried about its history of cinematic terror, Angie Hill purchased the house in 2008 for $1.15 million and spent a year renovating the property.
