Tom Devlin spent over 2 decades working in special effects and his museum is a testament to his talent. I don't always do the best with haunted houses so I was nervous going in but the exhibits are so interesting I couldn't help getting sucked into each and every one. The amount of items was incredible and I spent far too long looking at everything available in the gift shop. I can't wait to go back! read more

A really wonderfully condensed history of make-up, horror directors and special effects masters through the years. Descriptions, displays, examples and actual items used in film making are displayed. They also have a small pinball room. Their gift shop has a bunch of shirts and horror items for sale. Lots of things to look at. They have coffee and tea for sale, too. Overall, we took about 30 minutes to really inspect and read displays I was interested in. Big private parking lot. Nicely air-conditioned inside. read more

This was a fun place, especially as horror movie fan. From my family, It wasn't exactly a full "monster" museum, as the name suggested, but my family wanted to see more monsters like Bigfoot, Loch Ness, and other "monsters". That being said, its movie monster displays were great and better than expected. Still, it was well lit, some great movie props, and the behind the scenes video at the end was entertaining. read more

Dusty, beat up old figures. Most are covered with dust and pieces broken off. Very short tour. Classic rip off at $20 a head. Maybe $2 worth...maybe. Avoid unless you are a dedicated horror fan that wants to read about the actors read more

This has been on my list of things to do for almost a decade now. Finally was able to make my way to it and it was definitely a cool exibit. There is a lot of movie history here which is very cool. The museum itself is dark, a little old and run down. While I appreciated all of the artifacts and movie information they had on the wall, I would say the $20 entry fee is pretty high for what it is. It is very dark inside which gives it a good vibe but in some parts it takes away from the experience because it is hard to read the information they have posted around. This is not an interactive exibit which could be good for those who fear things jumping out at them. Overall definitely worth experiencing at least once if you are in the area, but I probably won't be back unless they do some updates. read more

Every time we're out in Vegas, we make the extra trip out to see this museum and we are never disappointed. Each time I've gone. It has been different and this time I absolutely loved the way they have it. It did go up in price so that was a little bummer, so much to see in there so much to look at if you love horror and all things creepy this is definitely a place you should check out if you're in Vegas area read more

If you're like me, someone into all things horror, creepy, crazy and weird then this is your place to be! I highly recommend coming here and check out the museum in the back of the gift shop. Entrance fee into the museum lets you go at your own pace. Once you're done with your tour enjoy the gift shop, small arcade and free movie screening room. Parking onsite with plenty of photo ops. Gentlemen working the counter was awesome and engaging! I can't rave enough how AWESOME this place is!! read more

Such a spooky and visual terror of actual props used in Hollywood horror films by artist Tom Devlin! A cute place in Boulder City and worth the drive from Vegas to try some Halloween themed attraction . There isn't a crazy line or over priced ticket as there are this time of year , and this place celebrates spooky season all year! There were many vignettes from classic horror films like Halloween, Friday the 13th, Chucky, Scream, The Exorcist, and the restroom even has The Shining theme ! The staff were kind and entertaining as well read more

I have to say, I was pretty impressed with this place. We love going to Boulder City and are big horror fans so we just had to stop here. It doesn't look like much but appearances are deceiving because this place has a lot to see inside. The "museum" is self led so you can go at your own pace which is great. We had so much fun and took a bunch of pictures. The displays, scenes and monsters are all so well done. They're not cheesy at all. It's obvious they take it serious and spent a lot of time on it. Surprisingly, we learned a lot while we were there too! We are actually planning on going back with my 14 yr old and his friend. They're going to love it! I highly recommend this place. It's a hidden gem and worth the trip. read more

If you grew up in the 1970's-1990's eras, and watching VHS/DVD Horror Movies was/is your weekly passion, this is a must see, FUN little museum! Also has a unique gift shop and small arcade. Self guided, allow 1 hour to take it all in. About 45 minutes from the strip, it's worth the trip. Located in the inviting town of Boulder City, in itself makes for a pleasant 1 day side trip from your LV stay: lots to experience, museums, shops, some hiking and unique parks, vintage public pool, interesting restaurants nearby like the China Bistro, S.W. Diner, Tap Room,etc. The Hoover Dam tour just a few minutes away. On either way, try to ignore the endless sprawl of Henderson, it's planning/zoning dept. successfully made the city as unsightly as possible (it can't be accidental). Endless traffic, a dreary mismash of auto parts stores, gas stations, malls, strip malls, mini malls, convenience stores, banal "locals" casinos' and every corporate chain possible. Top it off with miles of "planned communities" bereft of any charm. 300,000 lucky residents and more on their way. read more

Had a blast checking out this cool collection of monster movie props, busts and more! The place was creepy ( in all the right ways) and a great deal if you are looking to escape the heat and the crowds for a little while. read more

One of my favorite places to visit with the family (we're horror fans)! The setup and attractions are different almost each time we go so we take away something new each visit. read more

We've driven past this place dozens of times since it opened without a second glance. Today, looking for something to do, we pulled in & really enjoyed our visit. Plenty of wax figures of old time horror movies & literature posted next to them explaining the movies & the make-up secrets behind the creation. Very interesting. Of course, it has the obligatory gift shop with monster themed T-shirts, purses, stickers & more. If you're a horror movie fan, it's worth the entrance fee & you should stop in for a visit. read more

This place was really cool to visit. All of the characters are very well made and look super realistic. I like how the backdrops of the movies are also built in which adds to the horror theme. You feel transported to the films and you can get awesome pictures too! I will say it was a little pricey for how small it was but for the experience I'm still happy I paid to go see it. Check this place out, we went around Halloween but you should visit regardless. Especially if you love movies. read more

This Museum is very unique. All the pieces were handmade by Tom. Tom's dad welcomed us and gave us information on the museum. While inside the museum, you're allowed to take pictures and videos. However, you're not allowed to use flash while doing so. This is due to the intense light that is believed to hurt paint on delicate objects. My favorite characters are Michael Myers, Jason & Ghost Face (Scream). I purchased the Michael Myers air freshener and stickers to add to my stickers collection. read more

Awesome! Devlin is an incredible special effects make up artist, specializing in horror. Gift shop is great, decent prices. Small game room with the ELVIRA pinball machine! The museum is bigger than you think. Worth the $20 pp. Horror models from all your fave movies; all recreated by Devlin. Props, signed memorabilia etc. Also has a small theater showing horror artists work...very cool. I highly recommend for all horror fans, about 30 mins out of Vegas. Restaurants nearby. read more

I took my kids to Hoover Dam and we stopped off here afterwards and had lunch in Boulder city as well. It's a great little museum if you're a horror thing.

Tom Devlin's Monster Museum - Display - Art Museums Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

Okay so at first we thought the price was kind of steep for admission but we left feeling SO glad that we went. Everything exhibit was perfectly executed from the creature design to the cinemographic lighting choices, to the audio. I must add that there was a small child somewhere else in the museum screaming their head off so that was the creepy icing on the cake. I thought the choices of monsters were perfect - from vintage silent film to current campy underground favorites. Super delightful for those of us who love a weird roadside attraction! read more

Neat place! Some cool things to see that will remind you of the USA channels Up All Night shows of the 80's and 90's, and the Elvira era of films. Interesting to see the various movies Tom Devlin worked with. The guy at the cash register was friendly and excited about his job. I know everyone has to make a living, but I feel like the entrance fee is a little steep for the size of the place. read more

Tom Devlin's Monster Museum - Creepshow! - Art Museums Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

This place was much smaller than I expected, but it was still totally worth seeing! I believe it was $25 to get in, and it was really cool to actually see the costumes and the set-up they have. I finished the tour pretty quickly because I was alone and it definitely felt a little creepy lol, but I guess that's the point isn't it? The people who work here were super Duper nice! Very personable and asked how I found them. They must've known I was from out of state, lol. The gift shop it is awesome and they have a little arcade if you're in the mood for some games. Boulder city was awesome and if you're in the area, this is definitely a fun place to stop! read more

Just showing the outside portion because I don't want to ruin the goodies that they have inside for anyone wanting to visit. Just about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip, it's a delight for the casual horror fans as well the movie buffs out there. Masks were not required for vaccinated people as the new cdc guideline are, but the area was clean, as well as the staff being so friendly. So if definitely recommend Tom Devlin's monster museum to anyone that is interested read more

Located in Boulder City this location was not hard to find. In front of the building is a sign that cannot be missed, a purple hearse, a dinosaur, a prop of Michael Jackson from Thriller amongst other spooky things. There is a parking lot attached with plenty of parking. Once inside there's a small gift shop where you can buy memorabilia t-shirts postcards different things from scary movies . There are also scenes in the gift shop to take pictures . The cashier was very professional and very personable . He told us that the exhibits change from time to time. Therefore, each time visit your most likely going to experience some thing new. After we paid we entered in through the wooden door. Scary movie Buffs, this is the place for. Each exhibit was very detailed and also had a placard with information from the movies & behind-the-scenes details. There were some amazing opportunities for taking pictures. We were able to walk through the exhibit in about 20-25 minutes. Everything was in great condition,clean and the easy lay out was very easy to follow. The end of the exhibit leads back out into the gift shop. My husband enjoyed the iconic Movie Monsters and my teen is a walking horror flick. It was worth the admission price for us. However, we opted not to bring our under 12's. We will return to see whats new ! read more

Visited in the month of May and it was a great display of horror movie props. Took our 7yr old and he loved it. Not too scary by that I mean nothing jumps out at you. The gentleman at the counter was polite, and informative. He even showed us his work on modeling figures. It's a small place but well laid out. Pricey but I will support small businesses when we can. Totally recommend if horror is you thing! read more
