From knife-crazy satanic worshipers to next-level crazy fangirls, we count 9 of the creepiest
bedroom shrines ever.
9 – Knifey Shrine • Police who were trying to arrest a woman
in Florida were shocked when they accidentally uncovered this bizarre satanic shrine hidden
in her mobile home.
• The woman was reportedly being questioned over her previous offenses of criminal mischief
and violating her probation but wouldn’t let the police officers inside her caravan.
They broke the door down to find the vehicle overflowing with more than 3,500 knives, swords,
fake body parts and devil worship pentagrams.
• After attempting to slice up the officers with a machete, she was thankfully arrested
and charged for being an aggressive weirdo. 8 –Get the Shoe Shrine
• You don’t even have to be a devil-worshipper to build yourself a creepy-ass shrine, here’s
an example of a person who prefers to worship high-heels.
• This is apparently a shrine made to honour the shoe choices of fictional character Carrie
Bradshaw from Sex in The City.
It’s a very specific obsession that must have taken hours to cut out all those photos
and copy quotes about shoes all over her wardrobe.
• I guess shoes aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but a big collage shoe mural is just
a little on the creepy side.
7 – Stephen Fry • This shrine is a celebration of the witty
and charming persona of English celebrity Stephen Fry.
• It was created by a girl in her late teens who is apparently a huge fan of Fry’s activism
and all-round intelligent character.
The cupboard altar features pictures of Fry from his different acting roles and quotes
about his thoughts on life.
It even has a creepy candle in the centre, which the teenage worshipper is not allowed
to because her mother’s house insurance policy does not cover shrine fires.
• As far as shrines go, there are far worse human beings you could worship.
6 - Royals • If you’ve ever wanted to sleep in a
stranger’s house looking at the queen, this bedroom covered in 10,000 pictures of the
royal family might be for you.
• Margaret Tyler from Wembley in the UK started collecting royal paraphernalia in
1977, and now her house is completely filled with it.
You can rent a room in her eerie royal shrine for the night and she will even serve you
royal themed food for breakfast.
• A whole room is dedicated to Princess Diana alone, with a portrait of the princess
painted on the ceiling to watch down on you while you sleep.
5 – Dr. Who • If the royal family isn’t your thing,
maybe you’d prefer to stay the night in someone’s house being watched by science-fiction
aliens.
• Tom Nichols rents his Dr. Who themed bedroom out to guests who can snuggle up next to a
Dalek and try on alien replica costumes.
All the money Nichols receives goes towards a local scout group to fund their facilities.
• If you’re trying to find Nichol’s house in England, just look for the ten-foot
tall Tardis in his front yard.
4 – David’s Toyland • It seems vintage collectors run a fine
line between collecting items and full-blown crazy hoarder obsession.
• David Mansour is a long-time toy collector and pop-culture author.
In 2011, Mansour had approximately 10,000 collectable toys in his bedroom, which he
referred to as his ‘Toyland’.
It even contained a section called Barbie Island which starred mostly vintage Barbie
and Kens and also newer Bratz and My Scene dolls.
• After Mansour moved to California, he opened an online store called ‘From Abba
to Zoom’, where you can peruse over 3,000 of the vintage toys.
3 – 1D • It’s probably fair to say most people
had a celebrity crush when they were growing up, but these one direction shrines have absolutely
no chill.
• The teenagers who live in these bedrooms must spend a fortune in magazines and posters,
only to cut out pictures of the pop-stars and stick them on every inch of their walls.
They’ve even made candle-lit vigils for the band, which is a sure-fire way to tell
someone that you’re actually a maniac with an unhealthy obsession.
• I wonder how these people coped when Zayn abandoned the group.
I imagine they were pretty cool about it, they probably only burnt their walls down
and cried for a whole year.
2 – Bob Dylan • If you’re going to worship someone,
why not install a giant foam version of their head in your room?
• A guy named Mel Prussack has an enormous shrine dedicated to singer/songwriter Bob
Dylan, and apparently even owns the first ever film recording of Dylan performing in
the 1970’s.
He follows the singer around the country whenever he tours, and collects signed objects like
a baseball autographed by Dylan and Willie Nelson.
• His collection even extends to sculptures that Prussack makes himself from objects which
remind him vaguely of Dylan’s song lyrics.
1 - Bieber • You know you’ve taken your fandom too
far when you legally change your last name to pretend you’re married to your idol.
• 22-year-old Gabrielle Newton-Bieber has taken her worship of Justin Bieber to the
next level.
Her room is covered with photos of Bieber, and she even sleeps with a life-size cardboard
cut-out every night.
She has five Justin Bieber related tattoos on her body, and has plans for more.
The young woman says she would only consider dating a real person if he looked identical
to Justin Bieber.
• You know when I said earlier that there are worse people to worship?
Yeah.
Well.
Here we are.
