I absolutely loved this gallery. The attention to detail of the figures was mind-blowing. I found myself getting creeped out as I walked through the halls and I loved every minute of it. I would highly recommend this gallery to anyone who's a fan of horror or a fan of sculpture. The sculptures were masterpieces and were extremely realistic and... more

These characters are the closest to real life you will ever get! Everything was wonder from the horrifying creatures to the eerie hallways and the gracious, welcoming host topped it off! I would love to go back and I plan on it very soon. If you're ever in the area, definitely visit this attraction and if you aren't in the... more

I visited Count Orlok's today and truly enjoyed the experience. The owner is extremely knowedgable and pleasant. He has created the perfect atmosphere to display his creators. It is a must for any monster fan or visitor to Salem. more

Horror movie fans will love it but they need to expand it. Some truly great movie characters were missed in this Gallery. more

Super cool museum for horror film enthusiasts. Clearly, someone paid close attention to detail in recreating the movie scenes. We really enjoyed ourselves; it wasn't cheesy like some of the other places in Salem. The guide was really knowledgeable and spent a long time talking with us about films. more

If you are lucky enough to have James, the Museum's creator, to walk through he might have a moment to explain backstory on any of the inhabitants. He and Mark (from England) can answer just about any question involving this genre. When waking through the exhibits, take your time. Enjoy each "monster's" attention to detail, right down to the eyelashes!... more

If you like horror movies this is a great place to see all of your favorite characters. If you go when it changes into a hounted house, see it before it changes and then again for the haunted house. When I went, it was a part of a 4 pack of events. Good buy. Good times. more

Think Madame Tussauds gallery but with all horror characters. It was so fun--I didn't see the haunted house portion but my husband who is a huge horror film nut loved this. There were few people there on a Tuesday morning, and the guide came into the museum with us and talked films for a good 30 minutes. There was even... more

What wonderful replications of all the different horror movie monsters! They all looked incredibly and creepily like their horror movie counterparts, down to the smallest details. It is as if the museum obtained the actual costumes from the movies. During October, apparently some of the monsters come to life and try to scare people in the museum. However, I missed... more

I wish I would have been there before 1pm last Saturday, because after 1pm in October the museum is turned into a haunted house. What I did get to see of the exhibits was great, but they shuffle you along in the dark and you don't get to really look at the exhibits at all. The haunted house was too... more
