"Because if you ever want to slut it up in a pair of white gogo boots, then you should totally get them here."

This place was pretty cool, actually. The guy and girl that were working here were really nice and helpful. My fiancee and I thought they had some really cool costumes. I bought one of those rings that shocks people when they shake your hand. It doesn't work the way it was advertised. I was hella disappointed.
Another thing I liked was the "18 and older section." They had some interesting stuff there. Whips, chains, dick lollipops, vibrators, dildos...I swear you would think you were in one of them sex shops.
It's a cool little spot where you can find costumes, wigs, practical joke items, even adult stuff.

This place I happened to walk in by random.
I walked in and OMG Costumes, Wigs and Boa's OH MY!! Me and my fiance were right away greeted by the shop keeper, Rarely people ever acknowledge the fact that I exist let alone I'm shopping in your store. As I walked through the store, I seen some pretty groovy costumes, they had Judy Jetson! Where in the world could you find a nostalgic characters Also They Have 18 and Over... Section Pretty Rad, They had a selection of Dirty pasta, Bachelorette Party Favors, even a cane for the dirty old men who like the look under ladies skirts or dresses.
I enjoyed all the old skoo gag gifts. Exploding Pens, Stash Cans Bacon Bandaids...Being here reminds me when I was Kid.
So if year round you need a costume. Come Here!!!
Looses one star...
For being too Cramped in Aisle

This is not at all related to the House of Humor in Redwood City, which is way bigger and has much better selection...
The only choices of costumes here are the "leg avenue" slut brands..which is fine if you're really skinny, which my 23 year old neighbor that I grew up babysitting is,...little bitch....j/k I heart her! After she tried on every thing in the store she finally decided on the warrior princess/viking costume and plastic viking hat for $107....(record scratches) wait wait wait! Fucking A!! That is EXPENSIVE!
That is why I returned my $60 costume from Fredericks of Hollywood(yes that's why they rock, you can return stuff there) and decided to emprovise with a black corset, shorts and knee boots I already own...I had to buy a few accessories but didn't spend nearly as much as she didi!
These costume shops really take advantage of us, these costumers are ridiculously expensive and poorly made and on top of that, there is harldy any selection,...every girl this year is going to be a dirty nurse, Goldilox, A Pirate or something that looks like lierderhosen aka...bar girl type costume...or will be in lingerie that passes them off as a devil or witch....whatevs...I think this is my last year dressing up.
Anyhow this House of Humor isn't that great and really expensive, plus it's small, and the dressing room is tiny and all sales are final! Go to Spirit or House of Humor in RWC...
PS The guy who was working there, was a total perve,..kept trying to get my friend to model all the costumes for him, GROSS

Unreliable hours. I checked the website, saw that they opened at 11 on Saturday, and showed up. The sign on the door said they opened at 10. There was also a sign about how they don't really observe business hours. Additional signs included the fact that you cannot return costumes and that shoplifters will be killed.
Two other people came up and inquired about the opening time in the five minutes I waited. I called the number and there wasn't even an answering machine. I will never rely on this place to get what I want.
PS: There is a fabulous costume shop just up the street called Debbie Lyn's: http://www.yelp.com/bi...

Walked in here the other day because I was going to Hollywood Video that's in the same shopping center and somehow had never seen this place before.
The 4 stars is mainly for their selection of cool wigs. They have all sorts, in a rainbow of colors. Need an afro wig? They've got them in every color.
It's pretty dark and cramped inside, and the costume selection is so-so, but there are definitely some neat finds. Plus, the people that work there are nice.

Small gag, party and Halloween shop in the Civic Square shopping center. Used to be the only game in town till the larger stores like Diddams, Party America and the Halloween stores popped up. It is dark and dirty inside but still full of gag items. If you want to pull some practical jokes, this is the store I would check out first.

Average halloween type store. They were the only place around where I was able to find fake gold chains.
