The CANDY SPOOKY THEATER
The CANDY SPOOKY THEATER (ザ キャンディー スプーキー シアター) was a Japanese visual-kei indie band, who debuted in 2005 with the single Pumpkins Scream in the Dead of Night Parade. The band was originally made up of three members: Jack Spooky (vocals), Peggy (bass), and Zull (guitar), but after Zull left the band in the summer of 2007 he was replaced by Kiddie Skeleton. Their music is driven by Tim Burton-like horror influences.
The band had stopped activities after their June 6th performance in 2014.

The band formed in February 2003, but prior to that Jack Spooky and Peggy were in a band together called Dororo [however, then Jack was known as Shati and Peggy was known as MeiLa (迷La)]. The band later in 2005 started to release music, under their own label called Candy Makers (CM(S)). They debuted with the four tracked single Pumpkins Scream in the Dead of Night Parade, which was limited to 1,000 copies. From there on, they have released three more singles and were featured on a three tracked single called Mikkai. They have also released there first full-length album, Living Dead Spooky Doll's Family In The Rock'n Child's Spook Show Baby!!, on March 23, 2007 through the German record label Trisol. They have also finished their first U.S. tour called "Comical Horror's Wonder Land East Coast Showcase Tour" which ran from May 20-22. At the end of the tour, Zull left The Candy Spooky Theater to pursue his side project, Monaural Curve. Zull stated his heart was no longer in the band.
