Halloween-themed Dead & Breakfast

A mid-1800s building filled with macabre decor, an on-site bar, and an oddity gift shop

Dawn and Jim go above and beyond

Guests describe it as an unbelievable experience, praising Dawn and Jim as outstanding hosts
Our haunt-themed oubliette in historic downtown Manitowoc is a must-stay for any Halloween enthusiast. The private lower level is all yours, with access to the full licensed bar and oddity gift shop right on the premises upstairs. The manor has been compared to a museum displaying a vast array of macabre items and is often a destination for paranormal investigations. Join us in this unique setting where we celebrate All Hallow's Eve...every day of the year!

The space
This historic building was built in the mid-1800s and has been home to numerous businesses including a hardware store, dental office, and a furniture store which also made coffins. The main parlor, on the top floor, is very spacious and the decor is what we like to call creepy chic. Next to the main parlor is The Shrunken Head Outpost Bar. This critically acclaimed trading post themed bar is a favored watering hole for locals and weary travelers alike. After traveling all day start your evening with one of our exclusive drinks such as The Poison Apple or Wisconsin Cherry Popper. On the first floor The Mad Hatter Curious Goods gift shop is full of horror collectibles, wands, body jewelry, incense, and various Halloween themed pieces made by local artists. This unique store is a regional destination for oddity seekers and lovers of the dark.

Guest access
The top floor contains our full service bar and the main parlor where guests can enjoy one of our specialty drinks, play pool on our leopard table, enjoy a board game, or watch a movie on our big screen TV. Reservations are required for the bar and it is open to the public on Friday and Saturdays from 5pm-10pm. The 3 guest rooms and separate bathroom is located on the east wing of the second floor, and the gift shop is on the main floor. There are many steps in the building and unfortunately we are not handicap accessible.

Other things to note
Our building is know for it's paranormal activity. We invite you to investigate if you have your own equipment, and if not, our paranormal team can accommodate a group for a fee with a reservation. We also offer an interactive theatrical night for a fee, where our creatures lurk throughout the night which insures an unrestful night sleep. Our Dead & Breakfast has had the pleasure of hosting numerous celebrities including Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster), Ross Marquand (Aaron of the Walking Dead), Miko Hughes(Gage of Pet Sematary), Douglas Tait(Halloween Kills), and Irish singer Daniel O'Donnell.
