This place is awesome!

I actually had no idea it even existed, until we drove by after a delicious lunch at Holy Smoke. We decided to pop in as I was looking for a Halloween costume, and were greeted at the door right away. The staff let us know the deal - all the books in the back are full of the costumes they carry, so you write down the number and they will bring it up for you to try on.... more

So disappointed. My father used to bring me here as a child (at the old location). I figured after years of loving it, I wanted to get this years costume here. Wow. What a waste of time. At the beginning of September I called to see if they had a certain costume for my son. The man said he had no idea, but would call me (I left my number) when/if they received it. No phone call a month later, I... more

I was invited to attend a renaissance themed birthday party and needed to come up with a good costume. So while I was in Canada for a weekend trip, I came upon this place and wanted to check them out.

They have a great selection of high costumes for rent that can be used for almost any occassion. I can see this place being very busy during the Halloween season. Along with the rentals, they had... more

Kid. Candy shop. Kid. Candy Shop. Kid. Candy shop. Wow, wow, wow.

The staff is the friendliest I've had the pleasure of meeting. And why shouldn't they be? They work in a store that specializes in fantasy. Get ready to see wigs of every shape and size (in affordable price ranges: $15-25), costumes of every flight and fancy for sale, and I did spy some pretty amazing rentals too (snow men,... more

I'm lovin' the Costume Shoppe. Once upon a time, they would've been top of mind at Halloween. Now, they're top of mind whenever I'm thinking a costume or accessory would be wise.

Take last Friday, for instance. We were running a photo booth at Lucha VaVoom and I thought it'd be cute to have a touch of something burlesque-ish for us gals workin' the booth to wear. The Costume Shoppe had to have... more

Admittedly, I had never been to The Costume Shoppe until about a month ago. I had the luck to attend a VIP shopping night and see what it was all about, although I didn't make any purchases that evening.

The store has something for everyone. Pretty much any costume or accessory you might need is at the store. While you want to get your gear well in advance (a week +) of Halloween (the last... more

Love it! Needed to find accessories for my Halloween costume and stopped by here. This time of year there are a ton of options for your Halloween needs. This place has perfected the art of costume shopping.

The location has a tight parking lot - which is obviously going to be full the weekend before Halloween - but tons of street parking. (Today there was an added bonus of a Food Truck! -... more

I finally had a good excuse to visit the relocated Costume Shoppe, as I hadn't been here since it was in Inglewood. Hello, Halloween! It's my favorite 'holiday' of the year and the Shoppe did not disappoint. Wow, what an awesome selection. For some reason I don't remember being this excited about it before. I only had Halloween on my mind but the insane assortment of stuff enticed me to... more

I discovered this funky joint on a recent stroll in Inglewood, and I had a groovy time. I was greeted straight away and asked if I required any assistance. When I said I was just browsing, I was free to do that, sans pressure. Something tells me they likely get a lot of browsers here, and why wouldn't they? They have every kind of costume imaginable, which are available to rent or buy. They've... more

No idea why, but yesterday was the first time I visited The Costume Shoppe. Picture a girl, young at heart, walking into a gigantic store that embodies Mr. Dressup's Tickle Trunk within four walls. Heaven. On. Earth.

The Costume Shoppe is a bigger, better version of Malabar (a popular costume shop in Toronto). This place has got everything from mascot costumes, to a full suit of armour; Disney... more

This store has an absolutely impressive selection of costumes; over 1,500 as a matter of fact, there is no way you are not going to find what you are looking for in here.

You can rent their costumes or you can simply buy them. $80 to $120 gets you a 3 day rental from head to above the toe costume(shoes not included) and if you want a more extravagant one they do have them for a little bit... more
