Halloween is obviously one of our favorite holidays here at Thrills Ville and, if you don’t know, we are a half block off the Edwardsville Halloween Parade route, perfect for killing time after staking out your spot and setting up your chairs! Stop in on 10/31 from 6 - 9 and get your photo taken with our special guests Michael M. and Jason V., exclusive discounts and some other surprises! Stop by and get spooky!

After the parade, we will be out and about in Downtown Edwardsville so say hi if you see us and you can score a coupon for a future Thrills Ville visit! Stay tuned to our socials for more updates and see you on Halloween!

Thanks to everyone who came through for Trick or Treating on Main Street before Halloween! We loved seeing the little ones all decked out as their favorite characters and all the reactions to our buddy Screampool. For about 2 straight hours we had a parade through the store as we gave kids the ultimate trick or treating pop quiz: candy from the chocolate bucket or candy from the fruity bucket?

Fortunately, Joe has made a full recovery after his surprise run in with Michael Meyers. If that doesn’t make sense to you, you should check out the Halloween ad on our YouTube channel!

Adding some missing spiciness to the local business line up, Thrills Ville has opened in Downtown Edwardsville. Conveniently located between Stagger Inn and Dewey’s Pizza, Thrills Ville is bound to be your new favorite destination while waiting for a table. Just don’t be surprised if you find you need more than a few minutes to soak in everything it has to offer.

Since opening, many people have immediately been struck by the Thrills Ville vibes: “This place doesn’t feel like it is in Edwardsville”, “This reminds me of a cross between a video store and my old basement”, “[…] everything you have in here is something that is near and dear to my heart”, “I wish I didn’t have to leave and I could just sleep here”. The store seems to hit people on a different level. 

Featuring vintage movie posters, collectables, toys, VHS tapes, keychains, stickers, magnets, and other rad merch, Thrills Ville has a style all its own that is apparent the moment you step in the door. The brainchild of long-time graphic designer, art director, and advertising guru Joe Wieneke, Thrills Ville invites you to dive in to a world of pop culture, art, and inspiration.

But don’t let the memories and nostalgic vibes fool you, Thrills Ville is not a throwback store, wishing to go back to a bygone time. Thrills Ville is a celebration of all things rad, new and old. Join us as we start our adventure and build a community around the things we all love. Welcome to our store, welcome to our community.
