Service and selection is always top notch. Just know that it's a seasonal retail shop and that they may not have your size in stock anymore if you shop too close to Halloween...

Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, Ninja Turtles, or spicy adult related costumes are available in abundance here. Costumes ranged in price from 999 to 3999. Also right now they're taking 20% off your total price. After Halloween everything reduces drastically. A friend of mine comes in every year and loads up on half or third price costumes and then has them for the next year. Masks, makeup, props, wigs, hats, yard decorations it's all here. Really reasonably priced, friendly staff, and a wide variety makes this the perfect stop for your everyday Halloween party, going out to the bars, or trick or treating with the kids.

When you need a serious costume (not one of the cheap ass ones in a bag from Halloween Express) this is your place. Here's how it works: 1. Plan ahead - visit well before your event and WAY ahead if you want a Halloween costume. There are a limited number of sizes, so if you show up the day of you may be disappointed. 2. Browse the extensive stock of costumes, many of which are housed in awesome vintage costume closets. It's all neatly organized by theme and there are helpful staffers if you can't find what you want. 3. Pay up. It's not cheap as rentals run $50-100 plus a deposit (this includes minor alterations, cleaning and pressing). Everything is handmade, so if you spill a whole bottle of Rumchata down the front of your Renaissance Wench costume, you'll be dinged for repairs. Other important facts: *it's kind of creepy in here. Like vintage carnival creepy. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm just saying. *There is a small room where "retired" costumes and accessories are for sale for next to nothing. *If you need true stage makeup they've got an extensive selection, plus lots of accessories. *Rachel's right - there's a definite musty smell going on. It reminds me of the old Marlene's Touch of Class on Water St. Halloween is approaching fast - if you're thinking about a costume rental, get a move on!

If you catch Jeff Campbell on a day he's there, thats the man who nurtured my love for magic and helped me perfect my craft - he's incredibly talented, helpful and personable. I believe his son owns the place now, but I could be wrong? Don't see something you were looking for? They're usually able to place an order for you!

It's through him that I heard of the Central Street Busker Festival that took place the next day and his line was loooong! Most recently, we went to his show last week that the Mt. Prospect Public Library held for spring break. That was very very well attended, with a long line of folks waiting to get in (and that's with all of us registered to attend!), but the show was a lot of fun. He did a little magic, a little comedy, and some fun balloon tricks. This guy has been doing this all his adult life--unless that's also a joke and part of his act--but regardless, he's great at his job. I'm looking forward to seeing him again and my little one having the chance to pick her balloon creation on her own.
