Horrmazing Experience LOVED IT!!!! - This is a great Horror Museum we go every few months and they are always mixing it up. From the classics to the current day. On screen props along with great Monster to get a selfie with. The people there are all amazing and very friendly. They always have interesting information on the Horror industry If you ever get a chance to talk with Tom while you are there a much added bonus. I think our next visit might be the private tour with Tom Devlin. Stop by and check it out you will be glad you did !!!

An Absolute MUST For Horror Fans! - I went to attend a live broadcast of Danielle Harris' and Scout Taylor Compton's podcast, Talk Scary To Me and to celebrate the 6th anniversary of the museum. Everyone was super friendly and the museum itself makes you feel like you are right inside a movie. The pieces that Tom has created are nothing short of incredibly realistic (I kept expecting something to jump out at me) and lighting is the perfect touch for the effect. My favorites were the Puppet Master dolls. GO SEE THIS!!!

Fun but expensive! - A very fun stop before checking in to our hotel in Boulder City. Did find the price pretty steep- would be more likely to recommend to others if admission price wasn't 20 $ a pop!

Quirky, weird and fun!! - An interesting visit. It's small, but crammed with things to look at. They do a good job of walking you through some of the bigger moments (and names) in movie monster history. There are plenty of cool photo ops and a fun gift shop to browse.

Meh - Make sure you know what you're walking in to. I didn't, so I was surprised. It's essentially similar to a small wax museum.

Ok museum - They have some realistic monsters and good props, the film they showed was very long and drawn out, we thought the film was going to be about Tom Devlin but after 45 minutes we left
