A look inside The Gremlins Museum

Spooky season is full of ghouls and goblins, but tonight we're making room for some gremlins. The film franchise holds a very special place in the heart of one Snohomish County man. That's right. Ian Grant turned his home into a gremlins museum with the world's largest private collection of props and behind-the-scenes artifacts. Fox 13 photojournalist Walker Anderson takes us inside. My youngest five-year-old realized I have a better toy collection than him. What is that? Mark one. Don't shake it. We're here at Gremlins Museum. We're gonna have to open it now for Christmas. Gremlins Museum is my little home of Gremlins memorabilia, artifacts, props, puppets. It's kind of basically everything you can imagine for a Gremlin. I've been collecting kind of merch since forever, but Puppets has been about six years and it's sort of happened pretty quickly. I've become the main kind of Gremlin puppet collector in the world. To me Gremlins is sort of my earliest memories and nightmares and so to me having the puppets or really the actors here is pretty special. Up here we have, this is one of the Gizmo Corvettes from Gremlins 1. They only made, I think it's around four of them, and it's a kind of RC'd up, you know, just Barbie carve, essentially. Their kind of acting days are basically over at this point because the original foam is rigid, and they would just kind of crack and turn to dust, essentially. Some of the best artists in the world worked on these puppets and so to me they're like you know it's like having an art gallery here and so when you see them in person you can really appreciate all the detail and like masterful paint work and everything that went into them it's really just each piece is incredible. Oh, a little gizmo there. Well, there's only one caveat, David. The Gremlins Museum isn't open to the public, but you can take a virtual tour and explore the archive yourself online.

Yes, no water, that's right.
