About Scatterbrain

Scatterbrain is a handmade plush toy and accessories brand featured at the Haunted Happenings Marketplace in Salem, Massachusetts. Designer Lisamarie Pearson creates original sensory-friendly characters — including signature octopus pals, bat buddy finger puppets and wristlets, and huggable sloths — all designed with tactile comfort and bold, rainbow-bright colors that kids and adults love.

The Scatterbrain collection goes well beyond plush. The booth features matching stickers, enamel pins, magnets, a coloring activity book, kids and adult t-shirts, sweatshirts, and new handmade octopals and bat buddies each season. Every character is an original Scatterbrain design — not a resale or licensed product — giving shoppers something truly unique with a playful, creepy-cute aesthetic that fits right into Halloween season.

A Haunted Happenings Veteran Since 2019

Scatterbrain has been a beloved fixture at the Haunted Happenings Marketplace since 2019. With a focus on sensory play, the booth draws a loyal following of families — especially those with children who have sensory needs — looking for fun, accessible Halloween products that are never too scary. Lisamarie introduces new designs and products every year, keeping the booth fresh and exciting for returning fans.
