I've been to House of the Rock. It felt like a descent into madness. You only glimpse the sunlight for a few minutes about halfway through the tour if you do the entire thing, a quick jaunt outside sandwiched between passing through hallways lined with model sailing ships and stumbling upon a player orchestra (think player piano, but an entire orchestra of robot people). At one point when we were walking through the doll hallway, where just hundreds of dolls sit behind glass, their gazes fixed eternally outwards, already a good two hours into our expedition, when the haunting sounds of a slightly-out-of-tune instrument wafted towards us from somewhere up ahead. It was truly horror in the most classic sense.
I know Monroe Street Books! Well, the owner! He and his wife are peaches! He's a cartoonist too! https://www.dickchodkowski.com
BTW If anyone with little kids is looking for things to do with kids while in the Red Rocks area this summer you must check out Tiny Town in Morrison. It's a mini village with a little train you can ride, open since 1915. Little people love it.
I used to drive past that gas station everyday on my way to/from work but never stopped to try it. And my husband still brings it up on occasion to our friends when talking about VT 🤣
American Pickers went to House on the Rock and it was WILD! Side note, if you're not watching them, you should! They are fun and find some crazy stuff. Great for kids too - History channel.
If you are interested in House on the Rock, I recommend Neil Gaiman’s novel ‘American Gods’, in which HotR is featured! Great storytelling, and somewhat as bonkers as the actual place.

The Museum of Everyday Life in Glover, VT is fun.
Creepy, creepy castle. I love haunted things and scary movies!
Uh, I had no clue Charlotte Gainsbourg put out music. And it's really not fair she's this amazing at music and acting.
YES I'm so glad you went!!!!!! Bonkers really is the word.

That photo of the doll is clearly haunted. Did you bring an entity home with you?
