Meltdown on WRIF

Weekdays 3:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Saturday afternoon I took the trek down to Monroe to visit the Museum of Horror. My friends, Jeff and Todd from Detroit Paranormal Expeditions suggested I check it out. They did a recent investigation down there and told me it was pretty active.

As I walked in, I was greeted by a smiling Raychel and Brooke, while Black Sabbath played on a really cool Crosley record player. I knew it was my kind of place. As I walked around the first floor, I was drawn to an area that said ‘Wall Of Death’. This was really interesting to me. From a piece of the carpet where ‘Dimebag’ Darrell was killed, to stuff from Jeffrey Dahmer, the Zodiac Killer, The Black Dahlia Murder and others.

The walls are adorned with horror movie posters. Halloween, Night of the Living Dead, Scream and more. A TV playing 80s movies, and, of course, rock music playing. There’s also something which owner, Nate Thompson told me was his favorite piece in the whole museum, an actual kit to help kill a Vampire. He told me he got it from The Netherlands.

My favorite thing was a haunted OUIJA board from a bar in Detroit. Really cool!

On the second floor, all of your funeral dreams or nightmares come true. From very old caskets, to embalming tools and much more.

There’s also an 18 and over room. To say it’s morbid would be an understatement. Below is a picture of my friend and I in there.

It’s definitely worth the trip from anywhere you might be in S.E. Michigan. They’re always adding and taking out pieces as well. Nate told me he’s always searching for cool stuff to add, so let him know if there’s anything you’d like to loan or sell to him.
