New England is known for its antique shops and collectable art, but Weirdo Wonderland in Milford has put a unique twist on vintage.
There are thousands of pieces that are out of the ordinary or inspired by Halloween.
"I opened it thinking it would just be weirdos like myself," says Eric Bruce.
He says there is stuff in the store from his childhood, and that many of the pieces come directly from the artist themselves.
Bruce says his personal collection goes back over 30 years.
He says the store was closed for four months, and that finding new stock has been difficult.
Bruce says that even if you're not into horror or Halloween, people may be able to find a comic book or an obscure movie they haven't seen since the '70s.
