Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum, Connecticut

Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum, Connecticut

Open since 1966, the Witch’s Dungeon Classic Movie Museum is the longest-running Halloween-ish museum in the United States. It is only open during the month of October. The brainchild of Bristol, Connecticut native Cortlandt Hull (who was literally a child when he opened this place), the museum is housed in a 40 by 17 foot Swiss chalet-style structure full of life-size figures of classic movie monsters, like Lon Chaney’s Mummy, Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein, Bela Lugosi’s Count Dracula and Vincent Price’s Abominable Dr. Phibes. The heads of many of the figurines were based on life-casts of the actual actors who portrayed them. Some costumes, background sets and props are from the original films. Because the place is so tiny and only open once a year, there are hour-long lines to get inside. I guess the waiting is the really scary part. But at least the museum redeems itself with outdoor screenings of silent horror classics.
