We tried to visit Slasher World when it first opened a little over a month ago but the line around the block was a little bit of a deterrent, LUCKILY, we drove by earlier today and parked the car as soon as we saw the front door open. My wife told me about this before hand, but I still didn't truly know what it was so I was pleasantly surprised to walk into the coolest Horror shop i've probably ever been too. The moment you walk in you are greeted by a giant Art the Clown from the Terrifier movies head and it's insanely cool. All around the store they have different areas for different movies such as Friday the 13th, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Scream, and one of my personal favourites, Candyman. On top of having a ton of cool replicas, photo ops, and things to take photos of, this place has a ton of different merchandise for sale that represents both the store itself and the horror movies the areas are based on. The coolest part of this place to me was what was in the back, Slashback Video! Seperate from the Slasherworld store itself, this is a paid experience ($13) to go to the back area and rewind through time to a retro horror video store. THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME! Thousands of horror VHS tapes set up (some insane custom ones), two arcade machines (they supply the quarters for you), hundreds of posters and cardboard ads, "employee" lockers, and even a cool front end so you can be the employee of the day if you want too. I'll be honest here, some people might not think $13 is worth it for the mock video store, but I 100% did and had a blast hanging out for twenty minutes and looking over everything that was on display and taking pictures.
Overall, Slasher World is a must stop for horror fans in Los Angeles. This place has a little bit of everything and I'm stoked to see what the future brings and what kind of events they have here in the future. Will I be back? 100%. I might even have to stop back before the holidays to get some Christmas shopping done! read more
