It's a very large store with a lot of inventory. I looked around, but they didn't have anything…read morethat caught my eye. The item that I had stopped here for was one they did have, but the website makes it look better than it is and in person it was pretty terrible and cheap looking and 25 bucks for it so I wasn't going to pay that. Admittedly, though, they do have tons of costumes, makeup, and so on for you to create a fantastic alter ego. Employee was semi helpful, but she seem to be the only one so wasn't able to help much. (It was the day before Halloween.) Their website says they have parking in the back at the Montrose store. I'm not sure where in the back because I went to the back and there was a parking spot beside the one that I was in and then a UPS truck backed into the only exit, which is truly only large enough for a single vehicle (he was inches from the curb on both sides). So I had to wait while the UPS truck picked up a bunch of packages because the entire way was blocked. Luckily, that only took about two minutes, but I still wouldn't park there because who knows how long it might take the next time. There's parking in the front on the street.

The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because they have some culturally insensitive costumes, most notably the white people in Native American costumes.

They have an array of collectibles, posters, VHS, DVD/Blu-ray, horror-themed candles, lapel pins, and more. The staff/store owner was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.

Pair your trip here with a visit to Kuma's Corner (heavy metal themed burger bar with some of the best hamburgers in Chicago) and/or Dmen tap (which features goth nights and dungeon crawls)! Both of which are on the same block.

Athenian Candle Company has been my go to for various needs for at least 10 years if not longer…read more They are a local business in Greektown with lots of knowledge and the most sincere customer service team. Sometimes I go there with a purpose, like, I need a St Francis and a St Anthony candle, or maybe I need some Morocco oil. Other times I am a complete disaster and I go in and they ask If I need any help, to which I say yes, and tell them my issue. The staff always knows exactly what I need and is more than willing to help. Oftentimes they will offer you a blessing at checkout - Say yes and accept with gratitude. The blessing will bring you goodness and peace and probably whatever else you need. At the beginning of the Athenian Candles gives out catalogues and Christian calendars with purchase. Both are wonderful gifts. The catalogue has a lot of information about products you may not have been aware of. Parking right in front can be tough; it is Greektown. if you go a block or two away you will find likely a free spot.

Paper Source is a great place to find nice paper to wrap with. There's something about a…read morebeautifully wrapped package that is just extra special. They have a nice selection of cards as well; I came here and found a happy first birthday card for my daughter's friend, which I wasn't sure I'd actually be able to find. That I can go to a store and find a specific type of card with ease because of their great selection is incredibly appealing. I haven't used it but I like that they sell wrapping paper in single sheets instead of huge rolls. I have several rolls of wrapping paper but most of it is Christmas themed, since there's not a lot of other times I need the paper. To buy an entire roll for, say, a baby shower when most of my friends have either had their kids or are childfree would just be annoying but Paper Source has your back. Service has been fine the few times I've come in here. As for parking: It's Southport, need I say more? You may find it but don't be surprised if you don't, and it'll be metered. The Southport Brown Line station is only a few blocks away so consider that option if you pop in.

This is a cute space with LOTS of nostalgic candy. I picked up several items I remember enjoying at my grandmother's house when I was a kid, including gummi rings, violet mints, wafer saucers, and more. The owner is a delight to talk to, and everything is very reasonably priced. Dizzy Cow also has small gifts (mostly for kids.) There are toys, lip balms, little craft kits... lots of things you'd want if you were on your way to a niece or nephew's house or a babysitting gig. I picked out an ice cream-shaped bath loofah for my sister, and the owner went WAY above and beyond, wrapping it with ribbon, a sticker, and a sweet little bubble blower for free. Wow! I heard Dizzy Cow does goodie bags. I will definitely be asking after them the next time I am tasked with hosting a party at my job. When I was done shopping, the owner also recommended a store down the block, which I went to and enjoyed. North Center's small business owners clearly know and love each other. :)
