Curioporium — Local services in Southington

Had the absolute time of my (after)life exploring Curioporium!

We learned about this shop online and, as a horror fanatic, I knew I had to check it out. We planned a whole day to drive 2 hours each way to see it. Once there, we spent almost 2 hours exploring the shop and marveling over the attention to detail. The scenery, lighting, and sound effects blew me away. I really love the concept of everything that you can see being for sale, BUT that leads me to my one gripe: The pricing seems very inconsistent and unreliable.

I had my eye on a specific piece, and asked the employee how much it was (as many displays do not have price tags). She mentioned that she had to send a picture to the owner and they would respond with the price. When she returned with the price, it was a little out of my range, so I decided to purchase something less expensive.

When I got home, I was checking out their online shop and noticed the exact piece I was originally interested in purchasing listed for over $100 cheaper than what the owner wanted me to purchase it for in store. Which makes me glad I didn’t end up buying it, but leads me to wonder if I paid too much for the things that I did end up buying.

Overall, it was a great experience and I look forward to going back if I’m ever in the area again, but I’m hoping there is more honesty in regards to the pricing...

According to our host, who was dressed and in character, the building is actually haunted, adding to the already fantastic atmosphere. There was so much to see. Everywhere you looked, there were tons of details and creative scenes, with each room having a different theme. It’s one of those things that you have to see...

I have never been so inspired. They eclectically bring in oddities from defferent cultures NOT just respectively but also respectfully. The artists here add inspiration from the fans interactively. Plus they go as far as to bring in local talent. It really is a safe place where the cast , owners and artists really care about you even on a personal level. So it's not just a business. its really isnt just a shop or a show its become a community. I've been cross country 8 times and it's still my favorite spot. They really have brought aesthetic to...
