Tom Devlin's Monster Museum is well-worth the visit. The rest of the family I went with are all monster/horror fanatics and really know their stuff. They were totally impressed with the museum and how extensive the information was. I am not a horror aficionado, and I found it interesting, engaging, and fun. There were some monsters that were so like-like, I made my son go into the room first. The museum outdid itself with descriptions, and the looped movies at the end talking about the making of Tom's different B-films was great! We want to go back again and go next door to the Alien museum as well.

Interesting mix of screen used pieces, artist created props, and photo ops. You can tell the creative passion put into many of the displays. Unlike other museums, you can get very close to the figures to look at and take pics. It took about 30 min for us to go through, although that could easily be an hour if you read everything and take your time. Make sure you look at the cars outside as well!

Dusty, beat up old figures. Most are covered with dust and pieces broken off. Very short tour. Classic rip off at $20 a head. Maybe $2 worth...maybe.
Avoid unless you are a dedicated horror fan that wants to read about the actors

We found this little gem on a drive around town. Wow, so cool. So much movie history. I had no idea. My husband and I loved it. I must say he did like the cars the most. Loves Christine!

Forget Disneyland—this is the happiest (and creepiest) place on Earth if you’re a horror fan with a pulse and a love for things that go bump, crawl, or screech in the night.
Tucked away in Boulder City like a secret level in a Resident Evil game, Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum is a full-blown love letter to horror, monsters, and the kind of movies your mom told you would give you nightmares (and she was right). It’s like walking through a haunted IMDB page—every mannequin, screen-used piece, and creature feels like it might suddenly spring to life and ask if you’ve got a light.
The absolute scene-stealer? The Puppet Master display. Legit next-level. If those creepy little puppets had actually moved, I would’ve happily gone down Final Destination style. It’s that good. It’s like stepping right onto a Full Moon set with no safety net.
And then there’s the man himself—Tom Devlin. The dude’s a walking IMDb of horror knowledge with mad scientist energy and a heart of gold. He gave us a tour like we were long-lost friends, and his passion for monsters, gore, and latex was infectious in the best kind of way. You can tell this place isn’t just a business—it’s his Frankenstein’s lab of love.
If you’re into horror, cult classics, or just want a selfie with a creature that could haunt your dreams, get your spooky little self over there. It’s like Halloween threw up in the best possible way.
Five stars. One for each finger of Freddy’s glove.
