Cherish Harrell Brooks loved Foy’s Halloween and Variety Store in Fairborn as she was growing up. Now she has her own spooky store in Fairborn, The Secret Chamber House of Oddities And Artwork.
Cherish and her husband have traveled to horror conventions around the country. They started selling at the annual Horrorhound convention in Columbus for a few years before opening their own shop.
Looking around the store, I saw a dead bat mounted and framed, a sideshow poster about a Human Blockhead, skulls from various animals and many other unusual items. “I want people to walk in here and spend an hour looking at odd things,” Cherish told me.
As we talked, Cherish was working on a piece of art that will be sold in the store. I also saw a lot of art by Tiffany Clark, who was recently named Best Local Artist by Dayton.com
If you’re looking for a shopping experience that is out of the ordinary, try a visit to The Secret Chamber of Oddities and Artwork.
