A message sent to Party City: "Yesterday, I visited Party City in Sterling, VA on Route 7 with my little grandson. The entrance way was decorated with innocent enough looking Halloween decorations which I noted immediately.

When we stepped into the actual store, the sights and sounds were so completely horrifying that my grandson began to sob uncontrollably. I moved quickly past (or so I thought) the area of horror, only to find that aisle after aisle were also too frightening for a little one who was already traumatized. I quickly exited the store. Party City is not a Halloween store.

How does is make sense to decorate your store that insults the sensibilities of a large enough proportion of the population and scares the c**** out of small children. If I had wished to visit a haunted house, I would have asked if it were appropriate for small children, and made a rational decision based on that information. I feel that my grandson and I were duped by Party City. After leaving the store, this little child, less than 2, cried and clung to me for quite some time.

I pray that the wicked images he was "forced" to view will not be the thing of nightmares for him. Where were the warning signs? Nowhere, of course, as you did not want to "SCARE" away business. However, you did just that.

I have been letting my family and friends know to avoid this store, and will not be back myself. Thinking that I was going to have a fun time picking out birthday supplies for a child, turned into a "NIGHTMARE." I would appreciate the courtesy of a response as to what made Party City think that this tasteless, horrifying display was a good idea."

Reason of review: Offensive store display that could not be avoided..

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Location: 47100 Community Plaza, Sterling, VA 20164, USA

Halloween is supposed to be scary. And my god, if you have a grandson who is that frightened in broad daylight then going to Party City probably isn't the smartest thing to do.
