SPOOK SHOW'S VENDOR/PERFORMER FAQs
What is Halloween Club's Spook Show?
2013 was the year that Halloween Club held its very first Spook Show outside of the La Mirada superstore location. This get-together for the local Halloween lifestyle community grew into a spooktacular must-do annual event to fill the void kindred spirits feel at the start of the year.
This fall, we're hosting the very best ghoul vendors to come recreate, sell, exhibit, shop, frolic, and celebrate the unique culture inspired by the ancient Halloween tradition at Halloween Club's 9th Annual Spook Show!
The Halloween festival will feature over 100 curated local vendors, artists, collectors, teachers, spook makers, and spookipreneurs for like-minded Halloween enthusiasts. Halloween Club will also hold its biggest sale event on 1000s of costumes, accessories, and decorations. Support local scary business growth, save the date: September 17th, 2022 RSVP for FREE here!!

Payment and completion of the Secondary Application Checklist Form are both required immediately after the sent acceptance confirmation email. We've provided the option for an SMS alert to alert you. Please submit payment within 2 DAYS, or you'll incur a $60 late charge and may even lose your reservation and go into the vendor waiting list. No exceptions. These fees are to reserve your spots only. You'll also need to promptly sign the vendor liability release to complete your confirmed participation in the event available via the Secondary Application Checklist Form.
You'll need to provide your tarps, canopies, wires, tables, chairs, furniture, etc. It'll be your responsibility to ensure your booth is appropriately secured and manned throughout the event. To ensure a clean and safe time, you'll be required to maintain a waste-free environment. Cancellations will not be refunded. No exceptions.
If confirmed as a vendor/exhibitor, you'll be required to help promote the 9th Annual Spook Show using the artwork we'll provide and tagging us via @halloweenclubs #spookshow9 #halloweenclub #spookshowHC.
Will you provide any equipment? Tables? Chairs?
At this time, we're not offering these options. We'll inform you immediately if anything changes, until then, please plan accordingly.
In addition to the booth space, we'll feature your company logo on event pages as well as event programs. Your goods/services may also be promoted.
Do I need vendor’s permit?
Only food vendors are required to provide a copy of permit and registration.
I would like to share a booth, what do I do?
If you are sharing a booth with another vendor, please fill out the form for each business. You’re both required to be Halloween/dark in nature to ensure we're all recreating the spirit of Halloween on September 17th, 2022. You'll incur an additional $100 shared space fee.
How are vendors chosen?
Halloween Club's currently seeking local Halloween/dark-themed professionals, artisans, craft-makers, cooks, and teachers that’d like to participate in our 2022 Spook Show. The event will feature curated local vendors, artists, collectors, teachers, spook-makers, spookipreneurs for like-minded Halloween enthusiasts. Our goal is to showcase every year an exciting new unique mix of a variety of what constitutes Halloween culture. Registration found here.
We reserve the right to turn down too many of the same type vendors/exhibitors. If your organization/work isn't Halloween related, your vendor/exhibitor request won't be accepted. To be fair, prior participation doesn't guarantee confirmation for this event and appreciate your understanding. Please sign-up for future events here.
How soon will I know if I was accepted or not?
Approximately within 2 business weeks (BUT LIKELY LESS). We encourage you to signup for a SMS notification to ensure you're timely with payment/paperwork. We appreciate your patience during this time.
I was a vendor/exhibitor at your previous Spook Show(s). Why haven't I been chosen/notified yet?
To be fair to all talented spooksters, prior participation in Halloween Club's Spook Show doesn't confirm you for this event. Signing-up also doesn't guarantee your reservation for the event. Accepted vendors/exhibitors will receive a confirmation email up within 2 business weeks of signup. We appreciate you understanding this.
I’m with a hearse/spooky car club - do I fall under exhibitor? Also do I have to pay?
Yes, but you must be confirmed to do so. Confirmed hearse/car clubs will have reserved parking on the event day starting from 8am-10:30am. Please sign up as soon as possible as we've got extremely limited space for this.
I don’t live in Southern California, can I still apply?
Yes, absolutely! Here are some useful links to help with accommodations of local hotels (1-5 minute walking/driving distance):

I’ve been accepted, how do I submit payment and by when should I pay?
When accepted, you'll receive an email that'll contain a Secondary Application Checklist Form. That form will include a PayPal link for making payment. Your application remains outstanding until full payment and the Secondary Application Checklist Form (includes liability) are both submitted. Payment must be received within 2 DAYS to avoid a $60 late charge or risk having your application canceled altogether. You're required to submit the Secondary Application Checklist Form on the same day as payment.
I've been accepted, but my name doesn't appear on your featured vendor/exhibitor lists. How come?
Was your liability release form submitted? Did you provide high-resolution images? Or if you're a food vendor, did you email a copy of your registration/permit? If not, please check your confirmation email for the Secondary Application Checklist Form that is immediately required with payment.
Can I choose my vendor spot? Where will I be placed in the event arena?
There'll be an additional $100 fee for requests to be placed alongside a vendor friend to ensure variety throughout the arena. Special accommodations for medical/physical/technical reasons, please make sure you make us aware when applying.
I have a question/concern not listed here, who do I contact?
