Greetings, fellow curious minds! Welcome to the bizarre and captivating realm of the Fascinating World of Weird! I’m Todd Anderson, the somewhat peculiar mastermind behind this unconventional journey, and I’m thrilled to have you here.
Unveiling the Weird Origins
Formerly known as “Horrific Things,” my venture into the peculiar began with my publication of “The Fright Seekers Guide to Haunted Attractions,” an annual guide to Halloween attractions across the United States. However, in 2022 I felt the need to broaden the scope of my brand, and thus, the Fascinating World of Weird was born.
What’s the Weird All About?
Why the name, you might ask? Well, two main reasons. First and foremost, I proudly declare myself a weirdo, comfortably residing far beyond the borders of normalcy. It’s what makes life more enjoyable… For me, at least. Secondly, everything under the Fascinating World of Weird umbrella caters to the tastes of a select group of equally peculiar individuals, obsessed with the strange and extraordinary.

Breaking Down the Weird
Given the broad spectrum of what classifies as “weird,” let’s break it down. If you’re into circus history, Sideshow performance, Halloween/haunted attractions, horror/sci-fi, oddities/curiousities, classic spookshow performance, comic books, cartoons, horror hosts, monsters/slashers, cryptozoology, and all things strange and awesome, congratulations!

Meet the Weirdo Behind it All
Allow me to introduce myself properly… I’m Todd Anderson. I’m a weird guy with an excessive number of hobbies. I’m an Author, YouTuber, sideshow performer/human oddity, magician, ventriloquist, balloon twister, haunter, guitarist, and creator of unique monster puppets, props, and other artistic creations. Oh, and did I mention I’m happily married to the love of my life, Heidi, with six fantastical children, an awesome son-in-law, and a beautiful granddaughter?
But enough about me… The heart of the Fascinating World of Weird lies in exploration, celebration, and, most importantly, embracing the peculiar.
