Recently, we showed you one of the largest antique malls in Texas. What you’re about to see definitely pales in comparison where size is concerned, but more than makes up for it with inventory. From real human skulls to taxidermy and every twisted thing in between, this Houston-based oddity shop shows that horror can be both elegant and gruesome.
If Edgar Allan Poe and Oscar Wilde opened an oddities shop together, this is precisely what it would look like. This eclectic collection is your one-stop shop for all things terrifying and twisted.
