I Think These People Love Movies Just A Little TOO Much. Check Out Their Houses.

How would you like to live aboard the Starship Enterprise? Inside the Batcave? Inside a TARDIS? It might be fun for a while. Then, you might change your mind when you think about the practical applications of actually having those iconic home decor items in your house, where you’d have to look at them—and clean them—every day. However, some people don’t mind those issues, and have chosen to construct rooms, and sometimes entire homes, based on designs found in popular movies and TV shows.


On a similar note, hotels offer themed rooms for people who want to experience it, but might not want to live it. We rounded up a few of the wackiest we could find.

Simon Dale built this real-life hobbit hole for his family and yes, they really live in it. Besides its obvious charm, Dale built this home as a low-impact, environmentally sustainable home.

Dale built it almost completely from recycled and found items. Adorable and sustainable? The Baggins would approve.

The Eden Motel is one of those hotels where the room rates are by the hour, if you catch my drift. Creeped out yet? Me too. But when you take the less-than-savory implications out, it


So, what do you think? Do these rooms seem like a fantasy come true (despite the erotic overtones in the Batman room) or a kitschy, nerdy nightmare? To be honest, I could probably live in that Hobbit house.
