A new Kickstarter has launched that aims to open the first ever museum dedicated solely to horror! With founding board members like Clive Barker, Sean S. Cunningham, Joe Dante, Mick Garris, Tom Holland, Victoria Price, and Sara Karloff (as well as others), the Hollywood Horror Museum aims to be an “enormous” building with a wide collection of props and displays.
Per the Kickstarter: The purpose of this Kickstarter is to raise the initial funds to develop The Hollywood Horror Museum, to obtain a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational status in California and present our first Walk Through Exhibit at Stan Lee’s Comikaze in Los Angeles Oct 30-Nov 1.
Their mission reads:
The mission of The Hollywood Horror Museum is to educate, enlighten and inspire people of all ages about the artistic, technical, psychological, historical and creative aspects of horror in films, media, art, literature, and pop-culture.
The museum will present horror in a fun, historical and informative environment through interactive exhibits and programs, while teaching all aspects of filmmaking from makeup, costumes and special effects, to model making and computer graphics.
