On Saturday, The Mystic Museum in Burbank California opened its latest exhibit to the public. Called 90s Slashers, the immersive exhibit features props, art, and photo ops from some of the most popular horror films of the 90s.
When you enter the exhibit, the walls are lined with original movie posters and promotional materials that will have you reminiscing about your 90s horror theater-going experiences. Once inside you’re treated to over 20 pieces of of original artwork from local artists, all inspired by some of the top films of the decade. As with past exhibits, all of the original artwork on display is available for purchase. Some artists have also made prints available, which can be purchased in The Mystic Museum’s store.
But the real draw, as with past experiences at The Mystic Museum, is the over half a dozen photo ops and interactive displays that allow you to relive some of the most iconic moments in 90s horror, including the opening sequence from “Scream,” the lotion scene from “Silence of the Lambs,” and the Cabrini-Green Candyman graffiti from 1992’s “Candyman.” You’ll also find various pieces of 90s horror memorabilia peppered throughout the experience. The various display cases house everything from original motion picture soundtracks to film scripts and toys.
General admission to 90s Slashers is just $16, but for an additional cost, you can purchase a plastic knife that when inserted or tapped at various parts of the exhibit will provide some additional interactivity, bringing to life some of the photo ops and installations, the most impressive of which is the Candyman archway.
