Movie fans got nostalgic on Tuesday when the official Twitter account for Blockbuster tweeted for the first time in six years as part of a new partnership with Airbnb."Just checking in," the account tweeted early Tuesday, along with the hand waving emoji.
The movie rental company proceeded to retweet a link from the official Airbnb account, which teased an "End of Summer Sleepover at The Last BLOCKBUSTER" at the last Blockbuster in existence located in Bend, Ore.
"Dust off those membership cards for a sleepover inside the world’s last BLOCKBUSTER," the listing by Airbnb host Sandi reads. "When you call dibs on this stay, you're booking a night back in the '90s, but this time you won't have to beg your parents to rent the latest horror flick — we'll give you the keys to the entire store!"
Sandi goes on to explain that local movie fans will have the opportunity to request to book one of three exclusive one-night stays at the Blockbuster location on Sept. 18, 19 and 20. The request period will begin on Aug. 17 at 1 p.m. PT, with each stay available for a maximum of four people.
"Whether you want to stay up until sunrise or pass out on the couch, we've created the perfect space complete with a pull-out couch, bean bags and pillows for you to cozy up with 'new releases' from the '90s," the post continues. "Crack open a two-liter of Pepsi before locking into a video game, charting your future in a game of MASH, or watching movie after movie."
After the final guest checks out, movie lovers will get the chance to stop by the living room space, as well as purchase some Blockbuster merchandise in-store or online for a limited time. Airbnb has also agreed to make a donation to the Humane Society of Central Oregon as part of the partnership.
