Castle Halloween

On the way back from our recent trip to Pittsburgh, we stopped in Altoona, Pennsylvania to visit Castle Halloween.  I've never seen so much Halloween in one place.  So many rooms filled with vintage Halloween memorabilia and decorations of every kind imaginable.  Photos of the interior of this beautiful brick home are hard to come by since there's a one-photo-per-person limit, but I think I might have been snapping away secretly so I could promote this magical place to anyone who reads this entry.


It's by appointment only, so if you're ever in the area and want to visit, make sure you call first.

Address: 2028 Broad Ave, Altoona, PA 16601
Phone: (814) 940-1031
Curator/Owner:  Pamela Apkarian-Russell

Below are some bootlegged photos of this incredible museum, and they only show a fraction of what's inside...

Some of that must be from the collection of Chris J. Russell and the Halloween Queen (Pamela Apkarian-Russell). The crepe witch's costume is shown on page 41 of Stuart Schneider's "Halloween in America: A Collector's Guide with Prices" (1995).
