About The Fascinating World of Weird:
Hi there! Welcome to the website of the Fascinating World of Weird! Please allow me to introduce myself and tell you what’s goin’ on here…
My name is Todd Anderson and the Fascinating World of Weird is my brand name for the purpose of promoting all of the weird things that I produce and am involved in. Previously, my brand name was “Horrific Things.” Under that name, I published The Fright Seekers Guide to Haunted Attractions, which was an annual book that featured various Halloween attractions across the United States. In 2022, I decided to change the name of my brand in order to slightly broaden the scope of my content. So now, here I am in the present, doing everything I currently do under the “Fascinating World of Weird” brand name.
So why did I decide to use the name that I did? And what exactly is it that I do?
Many different people and things (and for many different reasons) can be classified as “weird.” However, for the sake of simplicity, we’ll just say that the Fascinating World of Weird is so named for two main reasons.
I, the brand’s founder, am a total weirdo. I’m way far outside the realm of what many might classify as “normal.” Take a look at my official bio below and you’ll totally understand. And by the way, I’m totally fine with being a weirdo. It makes life much more enjoyable. (For me, that is. Not for those around me.)
All aspects of my brand (live performances/sideshow stage act, merchandise, publications, web/social media content, etc.) are centered around subject matter that only a small group of (fellow weird) people in this world care about. However, those types of individuals are usually obsessed with such things.
As far as what I produce/build, publish, perform, and so forth… Well… That is always in development. I am constantly coming up with new cockamamie ideas. However, the Fascinating World of Weird has a few main facets. Those facets include (but aren’t necessarily limited to):
- My Blog
- My YouTube Channel/Social Media
- My Books
- My Weird and Monsterous Creations
- My Live Sideshow/Oddity Performances
So now the big question is… Why should you care anything about what it is that I do? Well… If you are fascinated with the realm of weird things (strange, horrific, nostalgic, or nerdy), then hopefully I can offer something that will bring a certain degree of entertainment to your life.
Since the concept of the word “weird” is relatively broad in and of itself, let’s break it down a bit so you know if I might offer something of interest to you. The Fascinating World of Weird covers anything in the realm of Halloween/haunted attractions, horror/sci-fi, circus/sideshow oddities, classic spookshow performances, comic books, cartoons, horror hosts, monsters/slashers, cryptozoology, strange and awesome nostalgia, and anything that may go bump in the night… I’m sure you get the idea by now. So anyway…
Welcome to the Fascinating World of Weird!
About Todd Anderson:
Todd Anderson is a weird guy with entirely too many hobbies. He is an author, YouTuber, magician, ventriloquist, balloon twister, haunter, guitarist, and maker of his own unique line of monster puppets. Todd is married to the love of his life, Heidi, and they reside in Bellbrook, Ohio, where every year at Halloween they put on an amazing home haunt. They have six children (Hailey, Caleb, Hannah, Hope, Carly, and Michael), but in-laws and grandkids are beginning to pile up. They love them all the same. Todd greatly enjoys weird stuff and thus started the brand “Fascinating World of Weird” for the purpose of exploring all things strange, horrific, nostalgic, and nerdy. Above all things, Todd and his wife, Heidi, are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and have full faith in His saving grace.
