Dapper Cadaver Celebrates 10 Years!
This year marks our 10 year anniversary! Dapper Cadaver has come a long way from our first days on Hollywood Blvd as two crazy kids selling horror props in the back and gothic novelties in the front of our store. Whether you have been there from the very beginning or just learned about our company we appreciate the unique quality of your vision and the opportunity to participate in building it. Bringing in new scenes to life with the right props and décor excites us every day. We thank you!
We have a lot of fun ways to celebrate in store, from an anniversary party in June to specials throughout the year! Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook or Instagram to make sure you are the first to know.
