Best collections of macabre and occult stuff in seattle. From antique halloween decor to religious antiques. Wet samples and old medical equipment. So much splendor, it is like a museum.

Happened upon this store & so glad I did. It was like being transported into a unique wonderland. I loved looking at all the oddities and even things that weren’t my taste were still interesting. My favorite was the vintage-esk cat photos, so cute !!

I found this place by pure luck as I was having lunch near by. I have a knack for finding strange things and this place did not disappoint. As you enter Ballyhoo Curiosity Shop you will be greeted by a flight of stairs down to the shop. It really gave it an extra distinctive feel to the place! Once you make it down, you'll notice how small the area is. But it definitely makes up for it in the eclectic assortment of oddities!
