Great wax museum inside the oldest bank building in Salem (1803), and they make use of the old vaults, so it's a unique setup. If you are a fan of horror films and their history, you'll like this place. There are placards throughout the gallery that provide a lot of little known facts/trivia about the actors and films throughout horror cinema history. No photos allowed in the gallery, just in the shop. Gift shop is small, but charming. My daughter and I really enjoyed it.
If you love horror movies or shows, this is the place for you. Many cool and realistic wax figures along with their history. Pictures of their gifts shop included.
Very awesome attraction in Salem. The wax figures looked real and spooky. I took my daughter's, who are 3 and 6 they had a blast. I would consider this attraction family-friendly, but some people may think differently.
Very fun and detailed statues and horror culture props + more! This location was great to walk through and had some of the most recognizable horror figures in history with some awesome extra little surprises along the way. I would recommend going to this attraction greatly!
Amazing figures, best in town compared to all the lesser quality mannequins in the other museums around here. Definitely worth the visit if you’re a horror fan.
You don't need to be a horror fan to enjoy this place (I'm not) but some knowledge of cinema will greatly enhance your experience.
From the very beginning, you realize that this museum takes very seriously its monsters' portrayal. The wax figures are extremely lifelike and very detailed. Signs with interesting info and curious facts are attached to the displays. The music and the lighting creates an adequately eerie atmosphere.
All the great monsters of cinematic history are here from Nosferatu to Jason to Jigsaw and beyond. And there's memorabilia too. A must for horror fans, a should for cinephiles, a why not for the rest.
FANTASTIC tour. I was so excited for the Lifting The Coffin tour and it exceeded my expectations. If you’re a fan of horror movies, you MUST do this tour! It was SO fun. The figures are extremely realistic and look just like they do in the movies. James is awesome. And the aesthetic and music was so fitting. It was great to meet someone who has the same appreciation for horror films! James also asked a lot of fun horror movie trivia questions throughout the tour! I’m so excited to come back and see the new exhibits James has in the future. This was my favorite tour in Salem!!
There are a lot of great small museums/exhibits in Salem, but Count Orlock's is by far my favorite. The exhibits are very well done, with interesting tidbits of information. The models themselves are interesting to look at. The ambience of the place also really adds to the exhibits. Staff are always super friendly as well.
