I had become friends with a few of the actors who portrayed those villains, so it would make me feel a bit skeevy to have to place their portrayals in any sort of preferential order. I was also blessed to have voiced two classic Batman villains in the recent animated films, so there was the additional risk of being perceived as showing favoritism among those. Also collected are photos and postcards showing the streets and buildings of Tinseltown during its heyday.

While the newer versions of the mask are from the same molds, (yes, they’re still being sold today!) the quality of plastic isn’t as good as it was in the ’60s. The masks added an eerie sense of threat in an indescribable manner. The gift shop will also be open during your visit to the museum. The museum also gives tours, visiting the homes, murder sites, and graves of deceased celebrities both notorious and beloved, from Manson to Marilyn. The tours, while macabre, are deeply researched journeys given by lifelong aficionados.
