Horror enthusiasts, addict, and aficionados rejoice! A new oddity shop has opened up in Lindenhurst, and it contains everything a classic movie monster fan would ever need!

The Strange Love Parlor, located at 37 West Hoffman Ave, carries all sorts of items. The store offers horror novelties, apparel, taxidermy, candles, coffee, home decor and more!

When it comes to novelties and apparel, this store offers many different posters and T-Shirts from classic horror franchises such as Nightmare on Elm Street pins, patches, and coin pouches. Even larger, interesting items such as a life sized Spike from the Gremlins series!

Taxidermy is interesting , disgusting, or awesome depending on who you ask, but why not all three? Taxidermy is the art of preserving an animal’s body via mounting or stuffing, for the purpose of display or study. Animals are often, but not always, portrayed in a lifelike state. There are many taxidermies such as skeletal butterflies, beetles, and even scorpions.

Some home items include vintage chairs, and couches, in the vein of Victorian and Gothic designs ! Gothic furniture is the reminiscent of 12th to 16th-century affluent European archetypes and culture. Such furniture pieces typically come in shades of purple, black, and deep monochromes.

The store even has a salon in the back, for those in need of changing up their hair style! You can get your hair cut, styled, and/or dyed.

Everyone who loves anything revolving around the occult should definitely check out this awesome store and pick up a thing or two.
