Hillary NoelleApril 13, 2015I had a great time here. Very educational and creepy. Just the way I like it. Lots of great exhibits. Homemade house atmosphere.
Upvote3Downvote- Brodie OlmsteadMarch 1, 2015Lots of serial killer artwork and letters. Entire room of just Charles Manson and Black Dahlia. Actual bunk bed from the Heaven's Gate mass suicide. A must-go for the morbidly inclined. Free parking!Upvote2Downvote
- DailyCandyFebruary 25, 2014If you think watching The Walking Dead has desensitized you from wincing at macabre, think again: Watch a how-to video on embalming, or hang out at a mass suicide site replica and Cannibalism Niche.

JoeAugust 30, 2019Much more than just a horror display. This place recreates real life depictions of some of the most depraved events in history while also reminding us to appreciate the life we have.UpvoteDownvote- Alexia CardenasJanuary 31, 2019If you're into serial killers, they've got something for you. Taxidermy? Also. Cults? Yep. Mortuary studies? Check. Pretty graphic so it's not for the faint of heart.UpvoteDownvote
Vesper AOctober 9, 2017No pictures allowed inside but very educational for those interested in the history of death, taxidermy, & murder. Photographs are graphic in some rooms but good signage for the squeamish.UpvoteDownvote

Catherine CaiApril 12, 2016This place is awesome if you like gore and death. If you get queasy from stuff like this... DO NOT COME HERE. It is upchuck material central.UpvoteDownvote

Michelle ConnochieOctober 6, 2017A bit too gory for my liking, almost glorifying blood and guts and gore.Upvote1Downvote- Neil WeakleyFebruary 18, 2010Go here & check out the amazing, not for the squeamish, collection of all things mortuary science, serial killers, & tyrannical rulers. Fascinating! Read letters from serial killers? Weird fun!Upvote1Downvote
