We are Karen and Ricky Dick. We own and operate the CASTLE BLOOD seasonal haunted attraction in southwestern Pennsylvania, and also own CASTLE BLOOD HAUNT COUTURE, a Gothic clothing/costume/corset business that caters to haunted attractions, rental costume shops, serious hobbyists, and the Gothic and Fetish markets. We are a
husband-wife costuming team, with 50 years of costuming experience between us. We used to compete regularly on the
science-fiction costuming circuit (with multiple Best-In-Show wins on the regional, national, and international levels), but have been semi-retired since 1994 (about the time our haunted attraction was born, LOL!). You can see our work in "The Costume-Maker's Art" book edited by Thom Boswell, published by Lark Books, 1992. Karen is the founder of the annual Costume-Con convention, and Ricky is the founding president of the New York/New Jersey chapter of the International Costumer's Guild.
At any given time, you will find us auctioning items from our business (costumes, corsets, polyurethane foam props, and THE WHOLE COSTUMER'S CATALOGUE), or odds and ends from our
various personal collections (everything from STAR TREK and anime/manga to baseball collectibles).
