update!

We are THRILLED to announce a Grand Reopening for a refreshed Costume Mansion will take place the weekend of June 27-28, 2026. We are very excited and look forward to welcoming you back for our Grand Re-Opening Weekend, a celebration in itself!
We truly appreciate everyone who reached out with kind wishes, encouragement, and generous offers to help during the reconstruction. Your support has meant the world to us.
Our reopening date for the first-floor gift shop is TBD and will be announced at a future time.

Pretending is Our Reality.

Year Round Imagination.

Nestled in the heart of historic Old Sacramento since 1974, we’ve been supplying amusement and enchantment to our visitors with a frightfully extensive supply of themed costume apparel and novelty gift items. We welcome you into our ‘reality’ and invite you to explore all three floors of our Mansion. Allow our killer staff to inspire and assist you in outfitting your alter ego (however many personalities that may be).
