Besides obviously being a popular spot during the Halloween, Ibsen specializes in costume rentals for all occasions. But think theatrical more so than "sexy nurse." Need a couple Elvis costumes? How about a half dozen medieval maiden dresses? Giant fuzzy bear? What about some custom-made outfits for the cast of your directorial debut at the community theater? No worries, just head to Ibsen and they'll take care of you.

The best rental costume shop in Omaha. I highly recommend this for special events such as…read moreRenaissance fairs, Santa Clause occurrences, Easter bunny outings and Madrigal events. Ibsen costume has over ten thousand rental costumes to choose from and a much smaller selection of retail costumes and accessories. When I first moved to Omaha in 2000 I worked here part time. There is an animatronic cowboy that is voiced by me that greets customers with a "Welcome to Ibsen Costumes" with a fitting gravely cowboy voice. There is also a nice selection of wigs, masks, makeup, and tiaras. Look for the battleship gray building on the corner of 50th and Hamilton covered in Frankenstein's face.

Great selection of costumes for Halloween or the GroundHog Prom. Much cheaper than the local…read morecostume shop.

THis store is great but it needs clowns and i will soon graduate from Janine's University Devoted…read moreto the Up Keep of Clowns and the Mad Cap Hecklers That Roast Them, also known as UDUKCMCHTRT. I went in here not expecting spirits but atleast a clown. No Janine. Janine is the best clown of all time and ordered a truck of clowns to teach me how to hop on one foot. One day i'll not be attacked by the neighbors dog and it will be because of Janine. Janine is the clownest clown that ever clowned. Her son, Young Chap Number 1, is the jester i aspire to be. Hopefully i can be like him by next Spook season. As long as i get a job being a clown at Valentino's i'll be a happy flying monkey. Maybe i can then be the official clown of spirit and can order in the Bill Nye Science Guy makeup and May Run make up. I would love to teach people the ways of the clown.

Employees here are real effing assholes. I don't know if…read moreit's because the Huskers lost last night or something, but you can't ask a simple question without getting a freaking teenage-like attitude from 40-somethings. I'm from Reno, NV, and employees at Halloween Spirit stores were 20x more friendly and helpful compared to Lincoln. One of the bigger employees, a male with long hair, acted like a complete child when I asked if they had a certain mask available (I already looked on the wall beforehand). I think it's because my friend and I interrupted his conversation with another co-worker. But basically his tone of voice was like, almost yelling at me, to see if I checked the wall. I explained, and then he storms off to the area and finds the mask. Many other employees before him were even all annoyed when I asked a simple question, such as an older woman behind the front desk. She also screeched at everyone in line that we "needed to do a better job lining up for purchases". Really? How about, "everyone, please line up to each register so we can get to you as quickly as possible". Basically, nobody wants to be bothered with you, and they act like they own the world when they don't. To the manager: whoever is working this year, please don't rehire these hooligans again for the sake of your customers.

The balloon prices to blow up 2 foil balloons was very high and 3x as much as the balloon. Lastly, only come here if you've got time to kill, or if you ordered ahead. Even if you ordered ahead be prepared to wait 10-15 mins for your order. It's ridiculously slow and 1-2 workers at a time.
