Orange Dracula 5 & 10 — Local services in Seattle

This is one of the absolute best shops I’ve ever been to. It’s funky, offbeat, creative, and welcoming. There’s also a psychic chicken that’s one of my favorite things I’ve done in Seattle.

The shop itself is an excellent collection of pins, patches, posters, accessories, and just about any other kitschy items you can imagine. They have vintage unopened Rocky Horror and Pee Wee trading cards alongside more recent themed items for current popular shows/movies. There’s also some classic goth jewelry like studded leather bracelets.

Up front, they’ve got a menagerie of old amusement machines including a film Photo Booth (it takes credit cards!), a love tester, and my favorite: the psychic chicken.

The man behind the counter was telling me all about the chicken. They bought an arcade attraction with a rubber chicken that dispensed kid’s toys. But the ship redid the chicken machine so instead of dispensing toys, it dispenses plastic Easter eggs with printed fortunes inside. They’ve really leaned into it, they have bumper stickers and pins all about the psychic chicken.

I’m not exaggerating here, the famous psychic chicken was one of the coolest things I did on my Seattle trip. It’s the perfect combo of kitschy, vintage, and downright weird.

Can’t speak highly enough of this shop. I really recommend giving them (and the...

Very rude employee on 7/29/24. A friend of mine was interested in checking out the shop so I went along and as we were browsing the store a female employee ask me a question and to keep it short she seemed to not like my answer and got very rude all of a sudden and a bit awkward. I was very polite and had zero attitude.

After the somewhat brief exchange we proceeded to walk around looking for something to purchase she was rudely glaring at me and unbeknownst to me started filming and or taking pictures of me and my friend.

My friend told me later that she had gotten her phone out and was doing one of the two I was unaware of this. I would highly recommend not having this employee interact with customers anymore. My friend ended up not buying anything because he felt uncomfortable being glared at and filmed or having pictures being taken of both of us.

The only thing we did was get photos taken in the Photo Booth and then we left. Overall terrible experience at least when that...

Just visited yesterday. I was in Seattle for work and had some time to kill between hotel check out and my flight so I wondered Pikes Place. I am soooo glad I didn't miss this place (on the bottom floor, so it was a close call). As soon as I clapped eyes on it I knew it was for me. This is sort of a "Either ya get it or ya don't" type place, so, make of this what you will:

They had vintage, packaged vampire teeth and fake blood. A vintage Tor Johnson Halloween mask

The only band poster they had was of the Cramps

There was a Dracula pinball machine.

Either this kind of stuff means something to you or it doesn't. I chatted with the proprietor for a while about mask collecting, shopping the post Halloween clearance sales, and stuff like that. He knew who Tarantula Ghoul was! The guy was super cool. This is a must-stop-by for me on my next Seattle...
