The band formed in February 2003 by Jack Spooky,[2] 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 2004 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' Childs Spook Show Baby!!, on March 23, 2007 through the German record label Trisol.
