Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Q: How long does a visit to the museum take?
A: Most visitors spend between 45 minutes and 1.5 hours exploring the exhibits at their own pace. You can extend your visit by taking the time to read all the information and watching the documentaries in the on-site theater.
Q: Is it scary, and is it family-friendly?
A: The museum is a tribute to the creativity of horror, not a haunted house: no actors or jump scares. Lifesize figures and the heavy, macabre themes might not appeal to everyone, so it is recommended for families with older children and/or adolescents who enjoy horror movies.
Q: Are the monstrosities and props authentic?
A: Our collection is a blend of real screen-used props, creature suits, and custom pieces made by Tom Devlin himself—a must-see for horror fans who love the history of special effects.
Q: What should I wear?
A: There is no dress code, but since the museum is a walkthrough experience, we suggest wearing comfortable shoes.
Q: Is there anything else in the area, near the museum?
A: The museum is located in the historic Boulder City, a quaint little town with lots of shops and interesting restaurants. The museum’s owner also owns the nearby Outpost 51 Alien Museum, another popular destination for horror and/or science fiction fans.
