Wonderful local Halloween store in Newark, Delaware that helped out with a decorations and costumes…read morefor an event we hosted last year. Great selection of costumes and props with decent competitive prices. The staff are a LOT more helpful than the national chains, showing me options for everything including makeup, wigs, shoes, etc. If you want a complete costume, and ideas about how to make it unique, go see the staff at The Haunted Experience. Thank you to Dale who found me everthing I needed last year. Look forward to seeing whats new this year.

Buyer BEWARE! Do not shop here. They sell over priced, poor quality merchandise. They will not…read moretake anything back no matter what the reason! No exchanges or store credit even if the item you purchased is damaged! The owner is extremely rude and does stand behind the merchandise he sells. I am very disappointed.

Amazing locally-owned shop that's been in business for 42 years! After a Google search for the best…read morecostume shops in Baltimore, we found Artistic Costumes & Dance Fashions. They've recently been featured on WJZ, too! There is a huge selection of costumes for adults and kids in every genre and theme you can imagine, plus real dance outfits you can buy. We are a witch and a vampire this year and wanted to go all out for the Science Center Halloween party. I bought a long sparkly black dancer's dress that I already know I'll reuse for Ren Fest and future Halloween costumes. My fiancée got a very vampiric red cloak and vest combo, plus glue on fangs (not the plastic kind!) and a vampy medallion. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the owner came in and spent time with us to help put together a good outfit and chatted with us about her story. Such amazing service and a really nice personal touch. Whether you like supporting a local business, you hate Party City and Spirit Halloween's cheap offerings, or you want to purchase items you can use and reuse, this is the place to go!

Normally if we needed a costume for a special event at this time of year, we would have to order it…read moreonline, so it's nice to have a shop nearby that is open year-round. We weren't there for a costume this time... well, I guess we sort of were... My wife teaches high school forensics and she wanted to buy a wig to construct a head for an activity for her class. She had certain requirements (short, had to fit over top of a football helmet, and cheap since it would be rendered useless after her students beat it with tools and analyzed the "blood" spatter patterns). The sales girl was extremely knowledgeable of the available merchandise and was able to help us find something to meet my wife's needs pretty quickly. Picking up on that my wife is a teacher, she also told us about their services of helping school drama departments outfit themselves for shows, and she gave us a 10% discount when my wife showed her faculty ID card. Prices were about as expected, service was exemplary. We will definitely go back there next time we need a costume!

In my opinion, if you want better quality costumes by professional stitchers, you should rent from Tina's Productions Broadway Costumes Norcostco Also in my opinion, you can get just as good, if not better quality mascots and save money by ordering directly from Alinco Costumes or International Mascot Co.

[1080] 2/2020…read more I visited this costume store in Philadelphia while in the area. Plenty of strip mall parking. The store is huge and seems to be open all year round. There are a ton of costumes available in this location. There is an upstairs which has closeout items. They have a 50,60,70 and 80 costume section which made me want to find a themed party :) We picked up a few cool items while here. Staff was friendly We will definitely be back.

The good: They…read morereally have a bit of everything. If you need to find a last minute anything, for a costume party, a dancing gig etc -- I'm pretty positive they'll have it. They have a sections of " goth clothing", adult section in the back, a kids section and everything in between; from clowns to princesses, to fairies and jesters they truly have it all. The make-up section is OK , has all the essentials color wise , fake blood and all that jazz. I was looking specifically for " jester make up", which they didn't have, but if you know what you're doing they definitely have the colors CON: is the price. Biggest "con" of all ( see what I did there ;) Their corsets are priced at $99.. WHAT? I could go to Victoria Secret for a real one.. and some! Ps you can find corset online for $20.. I found a top hat that was cute.. I flipped it over $79.99 . WHAT WHAT? I was flipping it around trying to see, is this made from gold? From magical fairy elves.. a brand name? I have no idea. I ended up making my own from materials of AC Moore for about $5.. They'll have what you need, I'm sure of it. Just be ready to shell out

**In back of Sears** I go to Spirit Halloween every year…read moreand this one, is one of the best. I encourage you to check it out before Halloween ends and it's gone. It's located in the old Sears building in Bowie Town Center but it's around back except my husband calls it the front. Just ride around the building, you'll see a big sign. My first impression was "WOW!" It's so spacious, clean, well stocked and organized. The staff was plentiful, friendly and ready to assist. I wanted to buy so many things but this was a first run, when I make my list. I'll be back Friday to get a few things and then a few more times before the season ends. There was a tiny haunted house to go through which was really cool. Not too scary but my kid enjoyed it and so did I. I have my eye on a 2 ft creepy doll that I just HAVE to get this coming weekend! They also had a few animatronics set up which provided some great jump scares, hilarious! I'm on the fence about posting the video. Don't want to spoil it for others (evil grin). Seems wheelchair/scooter accessible and the isles were wide. I didn't notice if there were restrooms though. Hope you get to check it out. The best one I've seen yet!
