HIDDEN GEM ALERT! I have passed this unassuming spot a million times and never stopped by until…read morethis weekend when we were in need of supplies for a friend's halloween costume. When we entered the building I instantly realized that the store is huge (though only part of it is accessible to customers). The store has LOTS of supplies in the back that are catalogued. Think they don't have what you're looking for? Ask first, but their products are also listed online. The door was locked when we arrived, but the gentleman working quickly came over and let us in. He also took us to the makeup room to peruse a bit too. The prices seemed super fair. Honestly, I thought that Theatre House blew their competition in the city out of the water. I love cappels downtown, but their prices are higher and it's a more crowded/compact store. The whole experience at Theatre House was great and I'll definitely be back!

This is one of those places that I've driven by countless times and thought, hmmm I wonder what…read morethat place is? Well, I finally had the chance to patronize it and I found it to be a surprisingly nice place. Similar to Cappel's and other costume/theatre places, Theatre House has a lot of stuff under one roof. the setup of the place is reminiscent to Service Merchandise and by that I mean that most everything is not visible to the general public, rather it is stored in the back warehouse. One can view their products online and bring in the id number and tada, you now have that costume or whatever. They do have a few catalogs that one can peruse and then tell a worker to retrieve for you. It's like having your own personal shopper, ha ha. They do have tons of hats and masks and some general costume items on display. I did find it a little off putting that the hats were like 10 feet above the ground and not really visible up close. Oh well. The worker that assisted me was friendly, knowledgeable, and fast at retrieving the items I needed. Prices are fair and there was even a discount section for bargain hunters. Parking is right out front and free. So, whether you are looking for a crazy, sexy, scary, weird costume, or just need some theatre makeup, this is a place to check out.

Great selection under one roof. The prices are decent, not great, but at least you can see the…read moreitems in person as opposed to getting it online. You never know what you're going to get if you go that route. Parking is slightly lacking in this area, but I went on a weekend and there were many meters to choose from. The person working the counter was pleasant. Like the other Cappel's location, I believe all sales are final, so choose your items wisely. This place is always on the short list for any themed party or special event needs. I would advise you to try to get here before any major holiday so that you get a larger, less picked over selection.

Ha..you know..you get what you'd expect from shopping at a store like Halloween City…read more A decent selection of costumes and Halloween related items at extremely outrageous prices. And they always take over the vacated locations of failed retail stores. Always casts a depressing light on the shopping experience (ie: remember this used to be a Circuit City? I loved Circuit City. I miss Circuit City. I wish this was still a Ciruit City :( (not talking about this location specifically, just saying that's how it generally is..not sure what this location used to be..it's next to the super Kroger..I can't remember..oh man, I've been talking in the parenthesis for a while now..and I think I'm in a parenthesis of a parenthesis at this point..need to get back to the review.)) Anywho, I shopped at this location the Sunday before Halloween because I am always a last minute shopper. Everything was pretty picked over. All that was left was some super expensive crap, and some moderately expensive crap. I went with the moderately expensive crap..and it had an additional discount attached to it because they were trying to get rid of it. The cashier looked depressed to be there (didn't blame her..she was going to be out of a job in a couple of days). She didn't know how to ring up the discount..she called someone over to help her..they did something and walked away..the item still wasn't discounted..she called her back over and they finally figured it out. Fun times. Anywho, I don't know, shop here if you're lazy, would rather pay more than have to go bargain hunting for Halloween crap, and feel like walking around the corpse of a failed retail shop..I guess those are my take-aways from shopping here..I dunno. TWO STARS!!

They are also known for their illusion costumes that are worn by one person, but give the impression that there are two people, such as Horse and Cowboy, Dolphin on a Wave, Gorilla and Cage, or other animal/man combinations. Chances are, if you've seen a mascot in Cincinnati, you've seen Stagecraft's work. Most recently, Stagecraft designed the Twirl and Whirl mascots for Cincinnati's 2012 World Choir Games. Other notable figures include: Gapper of Cincinnati Reds, UK Wildcat mascot, Snappy Tomato, UC Bearcats mascot, Elder High School panther, Pac Man, Kroger grocery bag mascot, Kahn's pig, Frisch's Big Boy, and countless other characters. To date, Stagecraft has created over 4,000 mascot costumes for customers worldwide. As each mascot is custom made to order, pricing varies by design. Turn around time is 4 - 6 weeks and shipping averages between $50.00 - $100.00.

This place is WEAK and small…read more You'd think for a company that over price items and takes pride in ripping people off cheating them out of their money that the company would be able to find a unit that's big. Obviously not. I AM NOT impressed with this company. The managers are ugly, the staff are practically kids who have dead energy and you can't count on them to carry a conversation. They're just robots. This place is just a hole in the wall in a nice area. I would never tell anyone about this store, they have very little; they make it seem like they have everything and when you ask for something, they send you to another location. So might as well shop at another halloween store. I know for sure the people running this company are crooks. They don't care that they're ripping people off, as long as their own pockets fatten up then that's all that matters to them.
