Are you looking for a new community to join? Do you love horror, Halloween or creepy stuff?

Then you need to stop in at Terror Trader and join this community.

Arizona has a few good options for the horror/Halloween scene, but there is only one store I fully support.

941 West Elliot Road Suite 3, Chandler, Arizona 85225

Terror Trader located in Chandler, AZ.

They opened in September 2021, and they have built a whole community for Horror/Halloween that no other place has. They are open year round and they are ALWAYS busy. No matter if it's the middle of summer, Terror Trader is always full of the most satisfied customers.

They buy, sale, and have a full store of local vendors/artists you can support. Providing a large selection in the store for everyone! In the store you can find a large selection of masks, decor, haunted dolls and items, and handmade items from local artists/vendors and so much more! A whole room of old classic horror movies on VHS. Don't forget to check out the oddities room and see the only smurf corpse. They even have multiple photo ops in the store and they are constantly changing.

Even the poltergeists love it here! There is always some kind of paranormal force knocking things over. I wouldn't be scared though, they're just having a little fun. Follow Terror Trader to see the ghosts in action!

So many creepy dolls to choose from!

Almost every month they have an event. This event provides so much entertainment and support for the horror community. From creating a shopping experience of 50+ vendors at events, to a cash prize cosplay contest, you can't go wrong with Terror trader. It is kid friendly, and a welcoming environment to everyone. You can see the diversity of their customer base and it is truly amazing.

Cosplay competition

The Grimmlifecollectivead a signing and photo op here last year. It was an amazing experience to meet this couple. If you don’t know who they are you need to check them out. Especially if you are into all things spooky! They travel around the country and go to the coolest places.

Celebrity guests make appearances for signings and photo ops. They had Linnea Quigley at a previous event and it was amazing to say the least.

Jason and Gina are the owners and they are the nicest people that you could ever meet. You will never catch them not smiling or full of energy! They have built something special and amazing. There is no words to describe these two, you just have to go see for yourself.

Meet the owners

Keep an eye out for Grandma wandering around, she's usually handing out treats. She always has the biggest smile on her face and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. She brings joy to every interaction.

They also have a podcast with J-decay and they are so entertaining together you have to keep listening to every episode. These creeps discuss everything and there is never a dull moment.

These 2 also have a daily morning cut of their conversations first thing that you have to watch. Never a dull moment with these ones. You can watch these here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh3WHKEM1Pjd_URkcdxx41Q

So instead of supporting large overpriced corporations that don't care about you, come to Terror Trader and join the family. I can't put into words the experiences and atmosphere that they create. It is truly unmatched by any community I have been a part of.

I recommend you go stop in at Terror Trader if you are in Arizona, or just make the trip out here and attend an event. You'll find that it is worth it.

The next event is October 15th and it's going to be the largest most killer event yet!
