WELCOME TO HEPCAT HORROR HOUSE

Hepcat Horror House was created to provide quality collectibles and fine art for monster fans and rockabilly cats of all ages. My name is David Laff and I grew up loving anything to do with classic monsters, an infatuation fueled by the movies I would watch with my parents and the strange retro novelty records my Dad would show me . By Kindergarten I was rocking to 'The Monster Mash', my hero's were Jack Pierce and Boris Karloff, and my aspirations were to become a Hollywood make-up artist. As I grew up, I saw practical effects being phased out of mainstream filmmaking, and also began to enjoy the more novelty aspect of horror music, art, and films. I moved to Los Angeles, California, after graduating from High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. In Los Angeles I studied filmmaking, painting, special effects make-up, and music production. Along the way I was able to meet and consult with some of the last practical practitioners and innovators of the film and effects industry, and learn about the the dwindling art form I always cherished so much. Living in Los Angeles I also got a better taste of rockabilly culture and was able to expand my horror music knowledge by digging through obscure rockabilly and horror novelty selections at the well stocked local record stores, which began to heavily influence my art style and subject matter. Now I have moved to Las Vegas, Nevada where I blend Hollywood effects and traditional art techniques with retro horror motifs to create fine art versions of some of your favorite nostalgic novelty items. I am proud that every product I offer is authentically handmade from conception through to the final product, never utilizing any sort of digital sculpting or artificial intelligence.
