One of Michigan’s strangest events takes place this weekend

---

MONROE - You’ll see things at this event you have never seen before. And that’s the point. This is one of Michigan’s most chilling and creepy events of the year.

The 4th annual Michigan Oddities and Horror Fest takes place at the First Merchants Bank Expo Center at 3775 S. Custer Rd. in Monroe on Saturday, January 31 and Sunday, February 1. Tickets can be purchased here or at the door.

The event will feature around 150 vendors selling all kinds of oddities like real human bones, taxidermy and wet specimens. There will also be limited edition art, tattoo artists and food trucks.

“I believe this event is so weird and unique because you have 150+ Vendors that bring some of the craziest items that most people have only ever seen before on TV,” said event organizer, Nate Thompson, who also is the owner of The Michigan Museum of Horror.

The event will also feature celebrities taking photos and signing autographs for fans, like actor Lochlyn Munro from “Scary Movie,” “White Chicks,” “Freddy Vs. Jason,” and “Dead Man on Campus.”

The Michigan Oddities and Horror Festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. both days.
