If your a horror junkie like myself they have amazing one of a kind masks and great costumes and collectibles. I cannot recommend this museum enough and it will be a stop everytime we are in Nevada!
– Estee A.We happened to pass by and stopped. So glad we did. My husband is a total horror fan and it was his birthday. The museum was really cool with lots of different things from different movies. Tom and his family run it and are super friendly. Think my husband would have stayed all day talking about horror films with Tom. Totally worth a stop!

Tom Devlin’s Monster Museum
Boulder City, Nevada
Are screen monsters art? Tom Devlin says they are, and he’s built a museum to prove it.
Tom is somewhere inside the head of Gingerdead Man.
Tom made a name for himself as a Hollywood sci-fi, horror, and fantasy practical effects artist, working with everything from animatronic puppets to skin-crawling prosthetics and makeup. His credits include big-budget films and TV series, but his passion lay elsewhere. “My heart was in the B movies and independent stuff,” he told us. “The punk rock version of filmmaking.”
Tom, however, found that the stars of these productions — the monsters — were bashed online, criticized by those who couldn’t separate the creatures from the surrounding films. “Nobody acknowledges the work that goes into them,” Tom said. “If you take out the bad acting and poor scripts, it’s really cool-looking art.”
Tom and his wife considered creating a museum to celebrate screen monsters, but it wasn’t until they moved their family to Boulder City, and saw an empty building on its main street, that the idea clicked. “I said to myself, ‘That could be a monster museum,'” Tom recalled. On a whim he called the landlord, paid the rent, and only two months later opened the museum to the public.
A man and his many monsters.
