I live in the San Fernando Valley and drive over an hour every year to shop at this place. Maybe all of you need a little extra love in your life so as not to be so bitter. I have been going to HC for YEARS! Halloween is my families ""Christmas"" We go all out! We make our annual trip to this great place the first week of October every year. Yesterday we spent 2 1/2 hours shopping for new props, costumes and party favors. We were assisted by at least 4 difference staff members; all of whom were very helpful and nice. A couple of props were not operating properly and the staff took their time to replace the batteries and fix any problems. The girl working on in the wig department spent 20 minutes helping me find the perfect snake wig for my 7 year old daughter's costume of Medusa. I think all of you need to take a chill pill and realize that the staff is there to assist hundreds and sometimes thousands of people who walk through their doors on a daily/weekly basis. Have your costume ideas in mind prior to visiting this store. They are there to point you in the right direction, not to play dress up with you or plan out your entire Halloween house decor. Get over yourself!
