Cooger and Dark's Wax Museum and Chamber of Horrors

As I wandered through Babbage Square, my eyes were drawn to the hands emerging from the pavement. They turned out to be part of Cooger and Dark's Wax Museum. Naturally, I needed to see what was inside.

The museum has exhibits of famous individuals in horror and the occult. Below, H. P. Lovecraft...

… and the Babbage Cuckoos. Well, doubtless a part of New Babbage history of which I am woefully ignorant.

Attached to the wax museum is a Chamber of Horrors. Most of these pictures need no explanation.

This lad below, however, bears an uncanny resemblance to the mastermind behind both the wax museum and the chamber of horrors, young Jimmy Branagh.

Master Jimmy noted that there would be a Grand Re-Opening shortly, with a DJ and dancing for those with a left and a right foot, and a bar for those who have been manufactured with two left (or right) feet.
