This place was very cool. You have to call to arrange a tour. It was $15 for 2 hours, which you definitely need in this place. It is cash only! Miss Pamela is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her collection. There are 2 floors filled with Halloween and witch paraphernalia. Each room has a story to it- this includes a witch room (and the Salem witch trial), a Harry Potter room, a nightmare before Christmas room, a costume room, a games room, and much much more. She doesn't do bloody, gory things but delves more into the history of the eras, especially the artwork. This place is amazing and definitely the place to go when you're near Altoona. read more

Castle Halloween Museum - Museums Near Me - Altoona, Pennsylvania

Miss Pamela has the most extensive collection of Halloween memorabilia; showcased in her very own beautiful Victorian home. She has been collecting for over 50 years. Starting with the Victorian era, and working her way up to 2020. She does not believe in blood, and guts...so her pieces actually tell stories of old fables from around the world. She is a wealth of knowledge, and values each one of her pieces as if they were her children. She is truly dedicated to finding someone who will take over when she is no longer with us, and deem her house a public museum once and for all. You need to call ahead for appointments. Her tours are either one hour, or two hours long. And believe me I thought one hour would be plenty...In reality I could have spent the whole day. It's all based on donations, but no less then $10 per person for the hour tour, $15 per person for two hour tour. However, in the end you will want to give her so much more, including a hug if it weren't for Covid times. Please wear a mask the whole time. She is touring you through her private home...Be respectful. Pamela, I hope your goals are meet, and your home becomes a permanent part of this world. We definitely need more people like you. Thank you for sharing your passion with us. read more
