Halloween Dungeon is a year-round Halloween shop that opened in Seymour, Connecticut in September…read more2024. It was founded by local couple Amanda "Ravange" Tuttle and Alex Tuttle. The longtime collaborators turned life partners have loved all things Halloween for as long as they both can remember. Amanda has been working for a number of various haunted house attractions since 2008 (both as an actor and set designer), while Alex has designed and built a number of Halloween sets over the years. The two eventually founded their own production company called Doom Haus Creative Studios. Originally planning to open an escape room in Shelton, their plans were squashed when the 2020 pandemic shut down their progress. When a spot that was formerly home to the Greenwich Workshop art gallery became available in downtown Seymour, the couple decided to open their own shop. Every item on the shelves is either handmade by Amanda and Alex, handmade by one of their small business Halloween friends from around the country, or hand-curated by the couple. Halloween Dungeon is more than a Halloween shop: it's an immersive shopping experience. I recently stopped by Halloween Dungeon when I happened to be in downtown Seymour. I had a ticket to see a double feature at the Strand Theater (sponsored by Connecticut Cult Classics). As I was walking to the theater, my eye caught the exterior of Halloween Dungeon. I have loved all Halloween-related things for as long as I can remember, so it was a natural reflex for me to step inside the shop. The interior is almost like the set of a horror film. It's dimly lit with sound effects and you can smell the aroma of what I can only describe as "Halloween in smell form", courtesy of the shop's curated selection of scented candles. There were so many cool masks, costumes, books, and various props and accessories. I was especially impressed by the shop's selection of custom tombstones. I spoke for a few minutes with Alex and Amanda and they informed me that they host various events with costumed characters. They also have different themes in the store throughout the year, such as "Christmas with Krampus" or "Valloween". I didn't purchase anything on this visit, but I know that I'll be back. Whether your're looking for props for your haunted house attraction or items to make a terrifying costume, Halloween Dungeon is the place to be!

I was recently in downtown Seymour, and happened to stumble upon this amazing Halloween store!…read moreFirst I have to start off by saying that Halloween Dungeon is no Spirit Halloween or Party City... No, this is a LEGIT Halloween store with many items that are handmade. Here's the scoop on this spooktacularly cool spot! The store is located right on Main St. in Seymour, just two buildings down from the Strand Theater. You'll know you're in the right spot because you'll see the Frankenstein and other creepy figure in the front windows. Once inside, there's a cemetery complete with headstones, turf grass, and a picket fence. There's a large chalkboard sign listing the number of days until Halloween. The two owners (either husband and wife or boyfriend/girlfriend) are very friendly and will greet you upon entering. The store goes decently far back with tons of spooky items for sale, like high-quality clown masks, straight jackets, fake heads and brains, "severe trauma kits," custom headstones, skulls, skeletons, halloween handbags, books of spells, "Zombie Parking Only" signs, and so so much more! All of the items are high-quality, and many are even hand-crafted. They even have events and characters come in every so often. For example, the owners told me about how the had Van Helsing come in to take photos with customers several times. And around the holidays, they had Krampus come in for a meet-and-greet with customers. It's obvious that the owners are very passionate about Halloween and their store and I would definitely recommend paying them a visit! They'll be sure to wish you a "Happy Halloween!" when you leave.

Billed as a "mom and pop" toy shop, it certainly makes one think back to the toy shops of yesteryear for those of us old enough to remember shopping for toys "pre-Internet".

Everything is priced more than fairly, and most of it is cheaper than what you'd pay at a party good store. I absolutely love that I can support a local business and get a great deal at the same time. The staff was very friendly as well. Eager to help but not overbearing. I will definitely be back here again. As a small business owner, the products I can get here are indispensable. So happy I finally checked it out!!!

Simply put what make them special, besides the selection, is the welcoming and friendly folks. Everyone gets greeted, they checked in on what we needed. Last time we visited, we asked about small rolls of brown shipping paper to warp some for the boxes we had at home. What we saw was a HUGE roll. Other stores would have said, "no, sorry". This tore, "hold on, we will open this and cut/roll what you need". Awesome.
