In the past 60 years, curator Rich Correll has amassed the world's most extensive, privately-owned collection of authentic sci-fi, fantasy, and horror movie memorabilia.

Acquaintances such as Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, Basil Rathbone, Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, John Landis, Rick Baker, John Carpenter, Joe Dante, Peter Jackson, and Rob Zombie have inspired him to keep the memory and recognition of their work alive. Rich has chosen to honor their accomplishments by sharing it with the public through his exhibition, Icons of Darkness.

The collection offers memorabilia from movies spanning almost 100 years of Hollywood history including Frankenstein, The Exorcist, Star Wars, Iron Man, Jurassic Park, Spiderman, Joker, and Harry Potter.

Halloween Game Spin-the-wheel

The Montalbán has transformed the lower level of its interior space from traditional theatre seating to an open floor plan, with an outdoor Halloween game-area on the top floor. This new configuration allows for plenty of social distancing. IconsOfDarkness.com
