Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum

關於

The Witch's Dungeon Classic Movie Museum located in Plainville, Connecticut, USA, houses a collection of classic movie monster figures.

The museum is owned by Corlandt Hull, a native of Bristol. He is the great-nephew of film actor Henry Hull. Josephine Hull, known for her role in the classic film and stage play Arsenic and Old Lace, is also a relative. In 1966, Corlandt's father assisted him in constructing the Swiss chalet-style building that now houses the museum. Initially, Corlandt crafted life-size figures of classic movie monsters using wax, fine wire mesh, papier-mâché, and polymers. These figures were later replaced with more accurate versions.

The museum is open year-round on weekend evenings. The museum relocated to 103 East Main Street, Plainville, CT 06062, where the expanded space allows each figure to have its own backdrop and props. Additionally, the museum features professional-level lighting designed by Emmy Award-winning Bill Diamond.

The heads of many of the figurines have been based on life-casts of the actual actors who portrayed them. Background sets and clothing are authentic to the era, with some costumes or props actually used in the original films. Characters represented in the museum are:
