Screenwriter Chad Hayes, one half of the brotherly writing duo behind “The Conjuring” films, has put his townhouse in Malibu on the market for $1.245 million. Alternatively, the place can be leased for $7,000 a month.

Located in a gated community near Point Dume, the roughly 2,300-square-foot end unit has a mix of hardwood and Saltillo tile floors, high ceilings and a fireplace in the living room. There are two master bedrooms, each with a balcony, plus an office with built-ins. A powder room sits off the entry.

The roughly 2,300-square-foot floor plan features high ceilings, a living room with a fireplace and a side patio.
