Hillary and Donald masks

Around Halloween time, this is a purely Halloween Store. Cramped aisles of costume after costume from boys, girls, men, and women. Then there are accessories, masks, make-up, and other Halloween items. Almost bought a Ghostbusters costume, but it wasn't even close to authentic and didn't have the backpack/proton pack. I checked Google Shopping, and there were a ton of better costumes at cheaper prices. The place was pretty disheveled, but it was before Halloween, so I understood. But, if you need a costume right away (and can't wait for delivery), this is your spot. They have a ton of options.

Seriously feels like I walked into the year 1930 here..

A costume shop like NO OTHER, this place is both cool and scary. Like seriously scary. It's like walking into a horror movie, they have super old carnival games with noise coming out of them every couple minutes or so like music and voices (creeeeeeepy).. The place is like one huge haunted attic of someone from many many many many years ago that has just been discovered by you. What seems like old theatre costumes and wigs/props/random accessories line up every inch of the place, with hidden corners and crevices filled with more stuff. Most of the wigs seem to have been worn/tried on but the good thing is that you can try any wig you want and there's a huge mirror to do that-- no frills. The back is lined with costumes you can rent, but they also have a lot of new packaged costumes (ones you'll find anywhere else around Halloween) at the front. It's pretty hard to describe without being there, it's just that unique. If you're in need of a costume, an idea for one, or you just like to visit haunted places, I would def say come check this place out at least once, it's kinda like a museum..Though I did get a couple things I probably won't come alone next time haha yes it was THAT creepy to me! PS: I couldn't really find the place when searching 'costumes' on yelp but happened to pass by (right across from mitsuwa market).. A hidden 'gem' I guess you can say.

"Katrina..?" "Yeah!" "Where are you?" "I'm in the military uniforms room! ... Where are you?" "I'm next to the aisle of headless monster suits!" We continued this call-and-response, finally meeting somewhere between the pile of white go-go boots, the wall of hats and the creepy seamstress station, at the Lawrence Welk Show dress mile, tucked in the back. The only thing that made me sad about Robinson Beautilities, apart from the part where they don't want you taking pictures, is the fact that all of the costumes and most of the accessories are rental-only, which means that none of those spangles or feathers or epaulets or beads were going to make it home to their rightful place in my costume trunk in the attic.

Don't let the name confuse you. The first time someone recommended this place I questioned the recommendation but no more. This is the best place to go for costumes, accessories, and random dress items whether you're planning for burning man, Halloween and just about everything in between. Walk past all the packaged costumes in the front to see the extensive collection of rental costumes. One area I've found them to be great for are items needed for costumes from various eras - 80's prom to 50's madmen. I haven't left here disappointed yet. Service is friendly and accommodating but can sometimes be slow particularly if there are a lot of other people here. Also while generally well organized sometimes you need to root around a little to find what you want. Just plan to go with a little bit longer than you might expect and you'll be fine.

this.... I can't...

I am reviewing this establishment as someone from out of town doing window shopping who likes oddball weird things. And woah, does this place fit the bill! With their assortment of dusty/vintage/off-label character costumes, I felt like I was in a B horror movie from the 70s. It was so cool! They also had vintage arcade games as well (warning: the Terminator pinball machine and the skeeball machine both ate our quarters). Lastly, let me review the store clerk. We walked in and he was just sitting behind the counter quietly and eerily staring off into space like he himself was a dusty old costume. Highly recommend if you are a hipster or photographer or instagramer, this place has a lot of interesting things to wonder at.

Eva was awesome! She can really help you put a costume together!

Hard to believe that this business is already open. We're not even in the middle of August, so…read morenothing is sacred anymore right? In any case well I didn't buy anything on this trip, I did mosey about and saw some pretty cool animatronics, along with the New York subway theme for this year. Spirit Halloween does put out a consistent product, and usually has something for everybody including the adults such as myself. If you're a fan of Halloween, I definitely suggest you roll through here or any of their other nearby locations. Lastly, I was greeted upon entry, so that in and of itself was somewhat refreshing considering they're still tearing down a thousand boxes and setting up the shelves.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SHADY COMPANY. I paid for an item in cash in store and literally two minutes…read moreafter discovering a manufacturer defect on the product, I immediately returned it the very exact same time (same day). When I went in, I told the cashier about it and she asked me if I wanted to grab a different one. I told her no because I didn't want to deal with the same product discovering more problems later on. She asked "Do you have the card ending in..." as she was looking for it on my receipt I told her I paid in cash. She confused me and I thought I paid with my card so I told her to hold on and I went back to the car to get my wallet. As soon as I went back to the store I saw the cashier on the phone. Standing there confused I thought she was on the phone with a customer. It turns out she was talking to her manager MATT. I found it odd as I was standing there waiting for her to finish her conversation with the manager. She then tells me "Yeah we can't give you cash refund, we can only refund you back with any type of card" I told her "I literally just bought it a few minutes ago and I gave you cash" She goes "yeah I know but there's a lot of scams going on right now" So in my head either she thinks I was trying to pull a fast one on the store or both the manager and the employee is doing something shady. That detail on their return policy is not even indicated on the receipt or not mentioned when I check out. I tried to reason with her that I literally just bought it in cash she can just give me the cash I paid her with. If the store is worried about scammers then I don't understand her logic at all why she wouldn't just give me back my money. I had to give her any type of debit or credit card to get the money back. Now I had to wait for the stupid bank to clear to even get it. I was pretty upset and I told her "So now I have to wait for the bank to get the money?" She nonchalantly says "Yeah probably within 3-5 business days. Like wtf? Either the employees from that particular store are stealing HARD CASH in their registers, or this company is downright just taking HARD CASH payments and using the company credit to return refunds. This doesn't make any sense. This leaves a bad impression for the company brand. I have been a Spirit Halloween guest for many years and this is the first time I've ever heard of it. I understand there have been more scams over the years, but to insinuate that towards me while I'm returning a defective product on behalf of this store is unacceptable. I was just trying to return a pos product the store is selling so I can get my money back. But it turns out this company is full of greed. The staff needs to be investigated. It felt like I was the one that got scammed here. I found it really odd the cashier phoned the manager and discussed something when I briefly left and came back. What did she need to talk to him for? If this was their policy she should already know. Store should ONLY accept card payments NOT CASH--if refunding back to a card is your ONLY method of refunds. Put up a sign that says "Card Payment Only" or at least reference this to every guest that pays with cash every single time. When they check someone out paying with cash, tell them PRIOR that refunds can only be processed through a card.

I called this company in the hopes that they could help me put together a prop birth certificate as a 14 year old birthday prank I wanted to give my son. It is something I've wanted to do since he was born and something I think would bring joy to his heart with the intentionality and time behind it... Pictured are the responses I received. It was truly hurtful. I get that if you cannot offer these services you might educate them on that. After spending over an hour trying to get my full credit card scanned to them for a quote and this was their response when I only followed the prompts of their website, I was blown away. Just so the public is aware, this company only handles "large productions" in case you didn't see it on the website, I certainly did not. So if you're not a big production company, be prepared to be rejected or talked down to. I was, however, able to develop my own gift to my son. I'll put it in the photos as well :) Praise God!
