Hey pure-blooded Horror Fans and Monster Kids!
We’re building the first and only retro-drenched destination of its kind in the United States: Kreature Features Pizzeria & Horror Museum in the Pittsburgh, PA area — complete with an 80s/90s video arcade — targeting an October 2027 opening.
Picture it: themed hot pizza coming out of the ovens, a full arcade of classic cabinets, and a museum wing packed with memorabilia, movie and TV props, an art gallery, and playable stations dedicated to 80s NES horror and 80s–90s kid culture. One cohesive, spooky-powered experience.
Sample Haunted Pizzeria Menu:
- Fright Night Special — Smoky bacon, roasted garlic, blood-red peppers, and a midnight-black olive “vampire bite” finish. Pure 1985 Charlie Brewster energy.
- Night of the Demons Pie — Spicy sausage, jalapeños, black olives, and a swirling purple-tinged “possessed” cheese blend. Don’t open that door.
- Freddy’s Nightmare Supreme — Pepperoni, mushrooms, green peppers, and a swirl of spicy dream sauce.
- Camp Crystal Lake Slaughterhouse — Pepperoni, bacon, and jalapeños with a smoky edge. Friday the 13th campfire carnage.
- Goosebumps Haunted Mask Supreme — Pepperoni, mushrooms, and an eerie green pesto swirl under melted mozzarella. The mask wants to stay on.
- Graveyard Resurrection Pie — Spicy pepperoni, gooey mozzarella, and tangy blood-red marinara. Inspired by Splatterhouse.
- Belmont's Vampire Hunter Special — Extra garlic, roasted red peppers, black olives, and a drizzle of herbed “holy water” olive oil. Pure Castlevania energy.
- Beetlejuice Neitherworld Special — Alternating red sauce and white garlic-ricotta stripes, topped with black olives and green peppers. It’s showtime.
Games featured and playable in the arcade:
Core collection: Splatterhouse • Haunted Castle • House of the Dead • Ghosts ’n Goblins • Aliens

About Kreature Features magazine:
Kreature Features is our full-color print magazine celebrating horror and Monster Kid culture. The 66-page premiere Halloween Nightmare Special drops October 2026 with interviews (Tom Holland, Tony Gardner, Tim Jacobus), a Monster Squad feature, a John Carl Buechler tribute, Ghostbusters Spooktacular coverage, and more ghastly-powered retro horror mayhem. Single copies and 4-issue subscriptions are now part of the reward tiers below.
About the game:
Cap’n Retrovania’s Totally Toxic Pizza-Slingin’ Showdown is an original 8-bit NES horror-splatter action-platformer. On Halloween night ’87, Cap’n Retrovania and the Arcade Crypt Commandos tear through a haunted boardwalk carnival to stop Lord General Dracenstein and his Legion of Saturday Morning Creeps. Think pizza-powered beat-’em-up carnage, exploding-head VHS energy, 4-player co-op, and a love letter to real NES hardware — including limited grey and Radioactive Orange Ecto-Ooze cartridges.
Your pizza slice funds bigger haunted levels, combat polish, sprite art, physical carts, the magazine, and the 2027 brick-and-mortar build.
