What a waste of my time. Walked in today at 11:45am and for a minute felt SO overwhelmed by…read moreeverything. First, the size of the store with all those dummies, ugly masks and costumes. All put in the wrong places. All at the same place. Not organized nor prioritized. Store is very big. Didn't get a nice welcome from anyone. Earlier yesterday when I called, the guy that I talked to was very curt, dry and barely let me speak. I wanted to know if they sold a black color leotard, and elastic black color pants with some sequins on them that shine bright like diamonds. He said yes, we do. So when I walked in this morning, I was basically on my own. Tried looking for both-- the leotard and the pants. What he didn't tell me is that they had tiny, small leotards for kids. In light blue and pink. I asked someone and he walked away. Every now and then I like to dress up for Halloween and I have a Yelp event coming up soon; and they want us to look as dramatic, spooky as possible. So looking fwd. to it. So I ended up buying a UHU Glue Stick, a pair of round gray earrings, and a cute mask like I am going to a mascquerade or a ballroom event. I also got a nice black wig, with a clip-on comb. Prices are crazy, service is not very helpful nor friendly. They have a parking in the back and on the street. This is a year round store that sells: wigs, costumes, make up for every occasion. They have their sister store one block down that sells: books, toys, props, some art-crafts and gifts. I don't think I will be visiting either one of their stores again. Plenty of other stores that sell almost the same things--if not better with more affordable prices. Good for nothing. I don't know what kind of business do they do, being open year round.

My friend said Western is the best and she was absolutely right! Christina worked with me to make sure I had a costume with one days notice for my daughter's school project. She emailed me photos, talked me through what measurements she needed and even recommended an alternative costume shop in case she didn't have what I needed. Not only did she have the perfect costume, but she found the best accessory for the dress and helped fit my daughter as well. And she gave me a great price for the rental! Christina was gracious, deeply knowledgeable, professional and just a joy to work with. Thank you, Christina!!!!

I was fortunate enough to chat with Lily! She asked me exactly what I was there to receive, and I told her I needed a fun costume, without spending tons and tons of money. We went through a catalog, and then we took a walk to see what costumes were lurking. I found a cool costume, and also another one. We were both pleased that at least we narrowed it down to just two. We came to the consensus that although one may be a bit more lively, the other would be more comfy for an all-day event. I sent a picture for approval, and I was told everything worked except the Hat. Forunatly, We knew that if we switched the hat, we could still have a great look. She got me two potential Hats from a very high shelf in the back. And I couldn't quite decide, so I ended up purchasing both! I knew that I didn't want to take any more time in analysis paralysis, but Lily was very patient with me, and she knew this was important to me, so she was right by my side the whole time! Once I got home I noticed that there was a stain on one of the hats that we just didn't catch, so I came back to make a note, and Christina, her boss, was kind enough to take some baby wipes and make it looks spick and span. It's funny because once the stain from the silly hat was gone, I said, " ok good, now I feel confident wearing this!" Both Lily and Christina were very kind, pleasant, and helpful. I highly recommend visiting them for all your costume needs! And I look forward to returning someday. Maybe even Halloween season! Thanks so much for your patience and kindness!!!

I brought my dress that was too small for a reference because it was just too small in my breast area. I also brought in the dress that I'm wearing to the wedding that is one size up. That's absolutely too big on me. It's a corset top dress from house of CB. I brought the smaller one as a reference, thinking it would help them. Because I requested to try that on for the woman who is tailoring the dress so she could see how it's supposed to fit... but the owner threw a tantrum and told me he would not do it. I never was treated so terribly by anyone in any establishment like this before. He snapped and threw a tantrum because I wanted to show the woman tailoring the dress. What a psychotic control freak. My sister gets all her items tailored there. She's a dancer. I walked in and was shocked how filthy that place was. I'm stunned this place has any stars. The fact the women on the phone told me to come in and they would do it same day is crazy. It took me a hour to get there they literally not only wasted my time but the man was an absolute nightmare rude control freak. I never had such a terrible experience ANYWHERE- DO NOT GO HERE .

This is the type of store that I always wanted growing up, but never had until coming to Los Angeles. A year-round costume and prop store, with horror enthusiasts working the beat and a constant stream of classic movies on the monitors throughout the space. Super cool, and a constant lifesaver for whatever ad hoc creative needs there might be! One thing: the hours can be irregular, so just make sure to call ahead before stopping by. Highly recommend.

Lover's Paradise in Sherman Oaks!…read more Kreepy Halloween in Sherman Oaks is the spot for everything spooky! From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by an incredible selection of costumes, decorations, and animatronics -- it honestly feels like Halloween heaven. They have something for everyone, whether you're decking out your home, office, or throwing a full-on haunted party. Prices are fair, and there are always great deals to be found. I was impressed by how easy it was to find exactly what I needed -- from last-minute costume accessories to large-scale animatronics and detailed décor pieces. The staff is friendly, and the store layout makes browsing fun and effortless. If you love Halloween (or even just like to decorate), this place is a must-visit. You'll definitely leave feeling inspired -- and probably with a cart full of spooky treasures!

It's a big store dedicated to all things Halloween and Christmas, which is a weird mix but whatevers. There's hardly any circulation inside the store and it doesn't help that everything smells musty, which tracks considering how old the costumes are. There's a decent selection of everything you could possibly be looking for, but they're outdated and it feels like someone's trying to offload a bunch of things they've been keeping in storage. Overall if you don't want to shop online and want to look at Halloween things in-person, it might be worth a look. Truth be told though, you'll be able to find everything cheaper and in better quality elsewhere.
