    It was about what I expected for 10 bucks based off the reviews but I still found some things…read morepretty cool and other things underwhelming. The crime scene photo room was underwhelming as I've seen worse in Facebook groups but everything else was really cool and there was a few photo ops. If your into weird and creepy its not a bad hour spent and the town its located in is super cute.

    I gotta respect someone opening up something like this in Monroe. I don't know how they do during…read morethe week - I checked their hours and was surprised they are extensive as they are - but the MMoH was packed on an August Saturday afternoon! The thing is this place is so small it doesn't take many people for it to be packed but still. On this day dude was doing pretty well at ten bucks a head. This is a fun little museum if you're into the macabre but the operative word here really is little. The crime scene photo room is underwhelming but the embalmed animal cadavers in little tubes of fluid really packed a punch. There is a note from PETA or something similar saying they were all ethically sourced. The stand up selfie coffin is a lot of fun. I had my sister take dead and alive pictures of myself in it. And the chair that some local woman was found dead in that was supposed to have strange energy in it really did feel a bit uncanny when I sat in it, though I'm not sure how much of that might be paranormal placebo effect. I never thought the ouija board display would be my favorite part of this museum or that they even would have multiple ouija boards, let alone like a hundred. I didn't know they had such an enduring popularity or so many makes and models existed. This was also a little window into the ravages of the Great Depression as just about every decade from several ago to the 1910s was well represented except for the 30s. Some of the ouija boards even reeked of old school racism, with depictions of wild witch doctor Africans or sinister swami Middle Easterners. History ain't always pretty. Evil clowns, a Michael Myers and a Freddy Krueger were among the movie props. Others were less interesting. This museum is two floors but it's very small and even if you totally pore over everything here there's no way you could spend multiple hours here. The storefront to their right is vacant and the bookstore on their left is listed as permanently closed so it would be nice if they could expand here or relocate. Maybe have special night events, maybe pair it with a little theater that focuses on horror? I'd like this place to last but I feel like eventually it has to grow or die. Don't we all? We're all gonna be one of those skeletons one day....
