Awful store. Spooky has been a seasonal Halloween store in Hanford before. It was once opened near…read morethe old Walmart and again in the vacated Hollywood Video location. They now take up a spot in the Hanford Mall. It's never been a great store and definitely no competition to Spirit, but they have in the past offered a few items not found elsewhere. I went this year to check it out and their selection is pretty lousy. Their inventory is pretty much just discontinued Tekky Toys items and dated costumes (is anyone really in the market for a Napoleon Dynamite or Borat costume these days?) Their poor selection is not even the worst part. NONE of their items work. All of their props' "Try Me" buttons have been deactivated because they have removed the batteries from all their items. So even if you were interested in an item, you couldn't even try it out. But batteries being removed is not the only reason. They have several signs posted throughout the store saying, "Do Not Play With Merchandise". If you so much as touch an item, you will be scolded by the staff saying not to play with it. I saw a young boy touch a plastic axe, and an employee immediately went up to him and said, "You can't play with that!" I also pulled a box down from a shelf to get a better look at the prop and an employee was eyeing me the whole time. I felt incredibly uncomfortable in that store. I tried to support the local guys, but I'll be now only shopping at Spirit for my Halloween needs.

Terrible!! I don't remember a time when I have ever been watched so closely while trying to shop!…read moreNor have I ever been in a store that has so many posted "rules"! At the entrance to the store there is a posted list and it says No Strollers Allowed! Really?? How many people with kids shop the mall with out a stroller?? Since we had our stroller, we weren't going to enter, but one of the employees saw us hesitating and waved us in, saying it was ok, that rule only applied when it was really busy. There were only two other people shopping at the same time as us,and as soon as we started browsing, the employees started roaming! My husband went to the toy/accessory aisle and as soon as he tried out an item that he was seriously considering buying, the worker literally jumped around the corner and "VERY LOUDLY" tells my husband Do Not Play With The Accessories!! My husband was at first shocked, then a bit embarrassed by this! He just told her I'm sorry, but I'm not spending that much money on an item unless I know that it works! He put it back, and told me Let's go!, I'm not spending my money at a store where they treat people like this! We immediately left,and later purchased the items we wanted on line. Very hard to shop local and to support businesses when you receive treatment like we did!

Ok- one super satisfied customer here, party success! I had attended an event where this company,…read moreKealoha Events, had supplied 3 characters, and I totally remembered how much the kids all loved them. So, I booked the Character, Stitch, for our birthday using their site- & it was super user friendly. The party was outside, early evening, and in the high 80's to 90's, temperature-wise. The Character arrived with Sean, who was the one directing and leading the activities. They played hot potato, musical chairs, had a cookie eating contest, and danced. Stitch posed for lots of pictures and Stitch made his way around to greet and mingle with guests, both the kids and adults. Balloons were blown up to play with, and Stitch hung out right by the birthday girl when it was time for cake and The Happy Birthday Song. They came with their own sound system, and even added in a requested song to the set. I just needed to have an outlet available, super easy. I booked online, but also spoke with Sean on the phone, and he clarified any questions I had, as well as provided me with detailed info. I received emails and phone calls for confirmation and updates. I was so pleased that the Stitch (Parody) Character, as it was listed on their site, was available on 626 Day (Stitch Day). Might I say...that costume was actually really well made, and authentic looking. Sometimes characters are like a close 2nd, or kinda resemble one you'd hoped it would be- not the case here, I was so pleased! They stayed for one hour, and helped to create fun memories for all the guests! Sean shared with me that there are many characters, bounce houses, etc. to choose from- so I went back to the site, and I was in awe! I had really just looked up the character we wanted to book, but there are really so many options- and the slides and bounce houses listed too look cool! So overall, the amount of interaction between the character and guests for that hour- great! Based on our whole party experience, I would definitely recommend booking with them. Such a fun way to elevate a party!

I loved how she told me there was no pressure in booking when I told her I was still shopping around. I also asked if she could get Princess Aurora's pink dress since I saw she only had the iridescent blue dress on her website and she said yes and was very accommodating. When she arrived she was the sweetest and stayed in character the whole time. My daughter loved her and so did the rest of the children. All the adults loved her and asked where I found her and I was of course more than happy to let them know. They loved how professional, sweet, patient, and great she was with the kiddos. The children loved all the activities with princess Aurora and so did some of the adults! Madison was so great! I definitely recommend and will definitely hire her for any future events I may have! Also, great singing voice! Thank you, Madison!
