Like many small businesses in California, The Mystic Museum in Burbank is now closed to the public due to shelter-in-place orders set forth by California’s governor amid the COVID-19 pandemic. But that’s not stopping shop owners Erick and Kiko from sharing their unique style of spooky with the community.
The two took to Instagram last night to share their plans for the shop while the city is on lockdown. While you won’t be able to go check out their current exhibit Slashback Video: The Beginning, or visit their store in person, you will still have an opportunity to get your hands on some of the spooky and witchy items sold in their shop. The Mystic Museum has completely revamped its online store with 300-400 new items that you can purchase and have shipped to your home. Items range from home decor to jewelry, books, oddities, and more. The shop has even listed all of the remaining original VHS art from Slashback Video: The Beginning.
The two also outlined their plans to stay engaged with the community while the shop is closed. The two will be holding a number of free online events with plans to live stream things like late-night ghost stories, ghost hunts, a tour of the museum, and more. Erick also plans to hold an online version of his Ouija Board seminar that he previously presented at Midsummer Scream.
Best of all, when all the crazy subsides, The Mystic Museum plans to hold a huge re-opening bash to celebrate. And if you’ve ever been to one of the opening events for one of their exhibits, you know they know how to host a really good time.

If you’ve followed All Hallows Geek for a while, you know that The Mystic Museum is one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve attended nearly every opening reception for their exhibits since 2017 and Erick and Kiko are always super friendly and welcoming. They are huge supporters of the local community and local artists, which is why I hope those of you who can, will help to support them during these uncertain times either through a purchase, or donation.
To check out their online store or to make a donation, visit The Mystic Museum website. If you want to keep up on their live stream events, make sure you’re following The Mystic Museum on Instagram and Facebook.
