It's creepy and it's kooky,
Mysterious and spooky,
It's altogether ooky,
The Ghoul Gallery.
His house was a museum
When people came to see 'em
His wife began to scream
Time to open a store it seems!
(Scary)
(Sweet)
(Petite)
So get a witch's shawl on
A broomstick you can crawl on
We're gonna pay a call on
The Ghoul Gallery
[A shameless modification of the The Addams Family lyrics]
This store in downtown Oregon City is the perfect haunt for a Halloween enthusiast. Open year round, it is a mix of gothic, Steam Punk, Skullduggery & Halloween merchandise. The focus is on home decor and accessories, so note that this is not a costume shop. But if you want to buy some skulls and a spooky candleabra for your piano, this is the place. The brick-and-mortar store is called, The Odditorium, Oddities & Curiosities, but their on-line store is the Ghoul Gallery.
Easy to find when the hearse, Hursula, is parked out front. Limited hours, so it is typically closed on the weekend when I am strolling through downtown Oregon City. For me, the curiosities wre the non-Halloween merchandise, like a random collections of LPs from the 60s and 70s. They are gearing up their big event of the year, A Nightmare on Main Street - a Gathering of Ghouls, on October 21st with games, prizes, and a store-wide sale. So much spooky fun!
