What customers say

Coolest store in Bridgeport for sure. Lots of awesome selections of movies and records and awesome T-shirts. Everything is very affordable as well which is great. If you are a fan of horror this is definitely your store.

Fun way to spend an afternoon! A must for horror movie fans and otherwise. Prices are reasonable- not dirt cheap but better priced than you’ll find online, for the most part. I got some good deals on used Stephen king books. They have a lot of items that are limited / exclusive/ hard to find elsewhere.

Just a Fantastic store. Give yourself some time to look through this awesome store. Plenty of great collectibles, vintage and new, from VHS, DVDs, Blu Ray's, vinyl records, horror posters (new and vintage), apparel, books, collectible toys, horror magazines, soundtracks, etc.

★★★★★ — Mr., 2022-11

A gem of connecticut ! Physical media is sooo important and this place offers everything you might need. From records, to DVDs, books, and even sun discs! There’s two floors, the first one mostly has movies and the second has the records.
