Her father incriminated a homeless man as his daughter's killer by placing the gun next to him. On one Halloween night, when she tried to scare someone with her Red Death costume from the tale The Masque of the Red Death from Edgar Allan Poe and some fireworks, her victim, later revealed to be her father who suffered from PTSD, unexpectedly shot her to death with a rifle. She tried to wear her most frightening Halloween costume, but alas, she was still teased for being too cute. Spooky started her life as a cute human girl who was insecure due to her cute appearance led her to be made fun of, especially during Halloween.

In the Secret Arcade Room in the manor, a note from the Karamari Hospital DLC, and the Spooky's Dollhouse DLC revealed the brief but understandable backstory of Spooky. ~ Spooky's Father's note found in Karamari Hospital DLC. That man clearly overreacted to your fireworks, but we can only blame a PTSD sufferer so much.

I was confounded no one understood your costume but I guess people don't read Poe anymore, even with the new Price film. You always liked to scare people, especially when they didn't understand something. I've tried hating the man that took you from us, but in the end the only person I can hate is myself.
