Top Horror Masterminds Creating “The Hollywood Horror Museum”
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.

We have the Jason Universe to thank for the recent return of Jason Voorhees, with the short film Sweet Revenge and Jason’s arrival in Dead by Daylight helping to bring the hockey mask-wearing horror icon back into our lives. What else is planned, you ask?
In a chat with Variety this week, Jason Universe’s Robbie Barsamian teases that everything we’ve seen up to this point is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Jason’s return.
“We’ve been busy behind the scenes laying the foundation that everyone is finally starting to see come to life, but this is just the tip of the iceberg,” Barsamian teases.
“We have a thrilling lineup of new projects that we can’t wait to share more details on soon.”
Barsamian also notes during the chat with Variety, “We want to give fans fresh takes on what they love most about Jason and continue to expand his world in authentic ways that resonate with horror fans today.” One of those expansions will take the form of the upcoming Peacock and A24 series “Crystal Lake,” which stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees.
“The Crystal Lake TV series will take fans back in time to tell the story of how Pamela Voorhees came to be the mother of all slashers,” Barsamian tells Variety this week.
“Crystal Lake” premieres October 15 on Peacock.
Callum Vinson (“Chucky”) is playing young Jason in “Crystal Lake,” which will tell the origin story of the masked slasher who has stalked the grounds of Crystal Lake for decades.
Last year, the Jason Universe team had teased that a new movie and a new video game are top priorities for the near future. But at this time we have no updates on either front.
Stay tuned for more from the Jason Universe.
