Starting in a couple of weeks, horror fans can visit a real haunted museum without leaving the friendly confines of their own house.
A new discovery+ anthology series–The Haunted Museum–will premiere Oct. 2, as reported by comicbook.com, and will take fans on a tour of the eerie collection of Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures fame, courtesy of filmmaker Eli Roth (Cabin Fever and Hostel). Check out the trailer on this page for a sneak peek.
Bagans reportedly has amassed thousands of bizarre artifacts in his 30-room Las Vegas-based mansion/museum–a collection that spans “paranormal legends, true crime, Hollywood pop culture and haunted history.” And Roth and his team of writers will present the most frightening items in a series of nine horror episodes.
Included in these shows will be Peggy the Doll, the Devil’s Rocking Chair, Charles Manson’s cursed television, the Demon House staircase and the infamous Dybbuk Box.
Bagans said the series is “the scariest thing you will ever watch. These items are especially fearsome because of the intense, evil energy they contain. The horror is palpable.”
Roth agreed. “Never before have I been involved as a producer in a project this scary,” he said. “There has never been a show where you can see a terrifying story and then visit the real cursed object in person.”
