Tom Devlin's Monster Museum in Boulder City is a horror-themed attraction dedicated to special effects makeup, classic monsters, and horror movie history. Created by special effects artist Tom Devlin, the museum features life-sized sculptures, screen... read more-used props, and behind-the-scenes displays from both well-known and cult films. It offers a deep dive into the artistry of practical effects, showcasing creatures from various eras of horror cinema.

The museum is laid out like a guided walk-through, with each room dedicated to different themes or genres—ranging from Universal Monsters and slasher villains to zombies and sci-fi beasts. Visitors will see figures like Frankenstein’s monster, Freddy Krueger, and lesser-known creatures from independent films. There’s also a section that explores Devlin’s personal work, including effects from low-budget productions and original creations.

It’s both entertaining and educational, suitable for horror fans, makeup enthusiasts, and families with older children. The museum also features a gift shop with horror merchandise, collectibles, and makeup kits. While it’s more niche than major Las Vegas attractions, its authenticity and passion for the genre give it strong appeal to fans of practical effects and film history.
