Fails WP:ORG. Most of the reliable coverage on this entity is routinary, and it has actually decreased through time, as it has never been more than a project. The only sources that go into more detail are blogs, reddit posts and other sources taking their info from the organisation itself. There is some indirect coverage of the entity in articles discussing the founder's alleged legal problems, but they're described as not reliable by some editors (they seem COI editors, but they probably have a point anyways...). A possible alternative solution may be to turn the article into a redirect to Huston Huddleston, as most of the coverage on the entity is related to him.

Delete because technically it's WP:TOOSOON. Might be worth revisiting if/when museum actually opens, as it has "teased" for years. Not sure I agree with sending a redirect to Huston Huddleston, as "Hollywood horror museum" is arguably a more generic term, and other Hollywood Horror Museums appear to have existed in the past. Newspapers.com search yields many references to "Hollywood horror museum" in the 1990s to early 2000s, mainly in New Jersey (where it was part of other attractions), but also in White Plains, New York; St. Louis, Missouri; Los Angeles, California; and other locations.
