This mansion of macabre was featured on MTV ’ s “ Extreme Cribs .” With stuffed animals ( real ones that were once alive ), a hidden laboratory , a coffin bed and extractions of various body parts ( that we think were given up voluntarily ), this house makes the Addams Family seem tame by comparison . It is seriously filled with strange and interesting artifacts , and the hosts , Mr . Arm and Velda Von Minx , have a delightful sense of humor .
