Press Release:
For more than a decade, the East Village’s iconic Obscura Antiques & Oddities shop has been New York City’s foremost destination for one-of-a-kind, bizarre-and often shocking-artifacts. Since becoming the focus of Science‘s hit series, Oddities, the Big Apple’s epicenter of the eccentric has become pop culture’s Mecca of the macabre.
Entering its third season, the franchise has come to define the oddball subculture on television. Since its premiere, Oddities has won over legions of viewers and inspired “colorful” collectors throughout the U.S. and beyond to seek out Obscura’s purveyors of peculiarities: Mike, Evan and Ryan.
DON’T MISS ODDITIES’ MID-SEASON FINALE THIS SATURDAY ON SCIENCE
–The Mid-Season Finale of ODDITIES Premieres on SCIENCE
Saturday, March 10, at 9:00 PM ET/PT & 9:30 PM ET/PT–
The third season of ODDITIES takes all the deliciously weird elements from its past two installments and kicks it up a notch. This time, the merchandise gets weirder with some of the most notable pieces, including a two-headed pig, a mummified “member,” an occupied coffin, a prostate warmer and a preserved heart with bullet holes. The visitors this season are also more eccentric than ever – they include a self-admitted evil clown, a burlesque dancer, and viewer favorite Edgar Oliver. Mike, Evan, and Ryan also head out to Los Angeles where they meet like-minded celebrities like Cassandra Peterson and Limp Bizkit guitarist, Wes Borland.
