Top 10 Halloween Costume Stores for Online Shopping
With Halloween being just around the corner we thought of compiling a list of the top ten online stores that focus on costumes, Halloween props, accessories, and party supplies. It is our hope that such a list will help you navigate around the numerous Halloween-related merchants out there. Our selection was based on a number of factors, including but not limited to the years in business, width of selection, as well as the website’s popularity (expressed in the number of monthly visitors) among users.
So, here are the top 10 store (in the alphabetical order only) that are worth considering:
1. BuyCostumes.com — Founded in 1999, this online store has grown to become the #1 online Halloween costume and accessory retailer “this side of Transylvania.” They sell costumes for kids and adults (dogs, too), for year-round fun, not just Halloween. They also sell party supplies and coordinated decorations for every type 
of party imaginable. Their website’s promise — “life’s better in costume” — is beautiful and hard to argue with.
2. Costume Craze — Since its inception in 2001, Costume Craze has had as its goal to be the very best online costume retailer. They now position themselves as “your best source for Halloween costumes and costume fun all year long” and claim to “carry the best selection of costumes for kids, adults and even pets.”
3. Costumes4Less.com — This online shop is split into five stores: Costumes, Party Supplies, Special Occasion Shoes, Lingerie, and (also) Wedding Supplies. The first three offer quite a variety of choice for Halloween-related gift ideas. You’ll also love their Costume Selector tool.
4. Halloween Express — You are certainly familiar with this brand. Started in 1990, Halloween Express has both company owned and franchised locations throughout the U.S. As their website states, “by leveraging the huge buying power of retail store locations coupled with (a) year-round ecommerce operation” they are “able to offer the absolute largest selections of Halloween costumes and Halloween related items you’ll find online.” They also offer Free Shipping on extremely attractive terms, Free Exchanges, and a way to buy online, but pick your order up in-store.
5. Fun.com — Last time we’ve counted, this place featured 1,800+ costumes (for men, women, boys, and girls) and nearly 1,000 of costume accessories. Definitely do check them out this Halloween!
6. HalloweenCostumes.com — If you are looking to make your Halloween costume stand out, don’t forget to check out this shop. They claim to have “the biggest selection of costumes in the world” and have a “vast collection of accessories” (from high-quality costume wigs and hats to costume boots and character masks) as well.
7. Shindigz — While their focus is much wider (on personalizing parties regardless of the theme), this online store has an extensive Halloween section which includes costumes, decorations, and amazing do-it-yourself ideas as well.
8. Spirit Halloween — Similarly to the above-listed Halloween Express, this one has numerous “brick-and-mortar” locations. In fact, they have over 1,100 stores across all fifty states and Canada. “Spirit Halloween has been bringing the Halloween Spirit to communities for over 30 years” and claims to have “the widest and most unique selection anywhere.” They carry costumes, masks, wigs, accessories, makeup, and decorations — “with many products you won’t find in any other store or on any other site.”
9. Trendy Halloween — This store operates from Southern California by a family lineage of professional costume curators and fashion forecasting experts. They “carry all the leading costume and decoration manufacturers such as Leg Avenue, Rubies, Disguise, Morris, Zagone and Ghoulish Productions to name a few.”
10. Windy City Novelties — …and finally, a vendor different from all of the above. Here you will find all sorts of cool Halloween things beyond costumes! From glow in the dark items to spooktacular drinkware and Day of the Dead decorations.
