Vampire, vixen or volleyball player...
Halloween provides the perfect excuse to indulge in your dress up fantasy.
We can't guarantee the cast of Twilight will turn up to your Halloween party (drats!) but at least you can look the part.
Get your broomstick, lightsaber and bat wings here...
Howl-O-Scream
With an incredible 80,000 costumes available, and 4,000 accessories, at Number 1 Costume Shop you can transform into whatever your heart desires. Come dressed as a giant broccoli or a clown and see children recoil in terror. Other costumes include animals, superheroes and petrifying pirates with prices ranging from $60-$90 for three days rental (children's costume rental is $25-$40). These clever costumiers can also custom design something just for you. Ghoulish!
Character Style
Looking for Buzz Lightyear, Thomas the Tank Engine, Snow White and Cinderella? Head to Party City. Here you buy your costume (rather than rent) so great if you have other events where you need to steal the show with your costume. Prince Charming not included.. Prices range from $60-$140.
Quirky Costumes
Relive 'Alice in Wonderland' by dressing up as the Ace of Spades and your partner the White Rabbit. Just be careful not to tumble down any rabbit holes after consuming all the little bottles marked 'Drink me'! Or show your national allegiance by coming as a giant orchid. Spooky! Talent House Studio is the place for a great range of more unusual costumes. Available for both rental and purchase ($70 for three days rental and $100-$150 to buy).
Doctor Doctor
Who doesn't love dressing up as doctors and nurses? Or is the scary witch more your style? (Maybe that's just first thing in the morning...) Party With Us sells a range of great costumes including Darth Vada, Egyptian Princess, Doctor Scrubs, Sassy Witch and Little Red Riding Hood plus an impressive range of wigs. Prices range from $40-$135.
Quick Tricks
If you don't have time to run all over town for a costume, your trusty Cold Storage has a range of accessories at prices that won't scare you including masks, capes, witches hat, nerdy specs, and paper lanterns. Thrown in a fresh pumpkin from the produce section and you're sorted. Just in the nick of time. Ranged from $5-$25.
