What to expect:"The Horror has arrived in Tuscaloosa! Experience a Massive Haunted House with 2 themes that will test your sanity! Prepare yourself for classic Horror scares and new Terrifying visions as you traverse room after room of horror! What goes bump in the night? You’ll find out at Alabama’s Most Terrifying Haunted House"
What to expect: Out in Elberta, Alabama exists a plot of land that is peppered with Virginia artist Mark Cline's creations...namely, a few dinosaurs and more notably, a full-scale fiberglass recreation of Stonehenge.
What to expect:"The Holmes Medical Museum is located in Baldwin County’s first hospital, which served the community from 1936-1958. Many of the items on display are the original medical artifacts including surgical instruments, operating room machinery and a human skeleton. The interior of the museum is practically unchanged from the time it served as the area’s first hospital."
What to expect: This beautiful and historic cemetery is Alabama's largest and oldest! This cemetery is also home to a small children's playground, located at the far end of the grounds, in Maple Hill Park, that local lore claims to be haunted by the souls of the children buried there.
What to expect: Little Nadine Earles was only four years old in 1933 when she wished for a doll house for Xmas which her father was feverishly working on before the big day. Unfortunately, little Nadine died on December 18th, only one week before Xmas day. Her parent still granted their daughter's wish in her afterlife and converted the doll house into her tomb. Inside there are many dolls and toys which her parents filled over the years. Most intriguing, however, is that what seems like a small bed inside is Nadine's actual gravestone. Her parents are also buried on the plot next to the doll house. The only thing that could make this story more Goth is if the doll house was a mini Goth castle!
What to expect: Visit the abandoned film set of the fictional town of Spectre from Tim Burton's 2003 movie, "Big Fish." Situated on an island located a bit North from Montgomery, visitors to the island can still view six homes, the church, two trees from the spooky forest, and the columns from the front of the character Jenny’s house. NOTE before you go: Take Alabama River Pkwy to Cypress Ln and then about 0.3 miles to the entrance gate. Once you reach the unattended gate (daylight entry only), call the number on the sign to receive the gate access code. You will need to pay a $3 per person access fee to cross over to the island (fishing, boating, and camping is also allowed). The gate is monitored with cameras.
What to expect:"Founded in 1962 by Dr. Samuel Eichold II, the Mobile Medical Museum preserves and exhibits medical artifacts and archives to commemorate Mobile's prominent place in the history of medical education and public health in the state of Alabama and the Gulf Coast. The Museum's collections and exhibitions provide the public with a broad understanding of the evolution of the art and science of health care. The Museum's permanent exhibit showcases over 300 years of local and world medical history, from the colonial period through the present."
What to expect: This highly secluded, privately owned, natural Conservatory that is home to a special bio-luminescent glow-worms known as “Dismalites.” After dark, thousands of these worms light up the canyon walls like a sea of stars across the very selective environment they inhabit. A nighttime guided tour is not to be missed to witness this natural beauty!
What to expect:"The Museum of Wonder is a modern-day cabinet of curiosities filled with art, artifacts, and found or gifted objects including the world’s largest gallstone and an actual footprint from Sasquatch! At the age of fourteen, Butch built a one-room log cabin that became a workshop for his many creations and eventually the first incarnation of the Museum of Wonder. As his skills developed, Butch began to build and fashion furniture, sculptures, and many other works of art and constructions. The Museum soon became too small and too popular for the log cabin to contain. In 2014, Butch built The World’s First Drive-Thru Museum out of shipping containers. It sits off U.S. HWY 431 in Seale, Alabama and exhibits a rotating display of Butch’s handcrafted designs and curiosities for the wonderment of visitors and passerbys alike."
What to expect: Between the years of 1826 to 1846, Tuscaloosa was indeed the Alabama State capital and the Capitol building was completed in 1829. After serving as the State capital for only a couple of decades, the government decided that the capital should be elsewhere and eventually befell on Montgomery. The Capitol building was then transformed into the Alabama Central Female College until 1923 when the building caught fire while a construction worker was doing routine repairs. Today, the ruins of this structure still remain in what is now a public park. Get your Goth pose photos here!!!
Location: Woods Quad @ the University of Alabama map & directions
What to expect: Located in the University of Alabama's public sculpture garden, Goldie 71, created by Joe McCreary, commemorates the history of Birmingham’s Sloss Furnace industry and its closing in 1971 after nine decades. This one is especially for you Steampunk and/or Steamgoths types!

What to expect: For the literary inclined amoung you, this unique (and very rare) bookstore boasts the fact that EVERY book that is displayed for sale is actually signed by the author!!!
What to expect: Now, while there might not be a lot of "Goth-friendly" stores in town, this family owned business breaks that mold by selling an impressive line of Alternative/Geeky/Horror/Gothy products & gifts!
