Nobody buys just one Tiny Terror. You start with Michael, then you need Chucky to keep him company, then suddenly Billy from Saw is sitting on your shelf with his tiny "Wanna Play a Game?" sign and you're rearranging the whole row to make space for the Bride.

Tiny Terrors builds the horror icons we grew up with by hand — one at a time, with the costuming, hair, and likeness detail to actually pull it off. Around $25–30 a piece. Built for a shelf.

Find them at Tiny Terrors

They'll be with us March 6–7, 2027 at the Lucas County Rec Center in Maumee.

This is what we’re talking about. Toledo’s horror and oddities scene is alive and growing — and Mortuary Manor is proof.

A 128-year-old former funeral home with tours, artifacts, and ghost hunts? Yeah, this is our kind of place.

If you’re in the 419, go check it out.

First day of spring. The ground is thawing. Things are waking up.

We've spent the winter building something in the dark — locking in vendors, signing contracts, laying plans. Now the days are getting longer and the momentum is picking up.

Less than a year until Black Swamp Horror & Oddities takes over Maumee.
March 6–7, 2027. It's coming.
