Halloween is right around the corner and it’s a new year in the fall, so let’s get ready for it!
Halloween accessories are the most important thing to look for during this Halloween. Luckily, Chicago has several great places where you can go for your Halloween needs.
These are five best Chicago Halloween shops to check out for costumes, props, and more this Halloween season:
Spirit Halloween
One Stop Source for Costumes and Decorations.
Spirit Halloween has multiple Chicagoland locations. One of them is 2838 North Broadway, Chicago, IL 60657.
It’s so full of fancy displays and themed areas, that you almost feel you’re in a haunted house or cemetery instead of a shop. You could turn a corner, and you have a bloody picture of bones and slayers. And there are horror movie bad guys and scary clowns right around the corner.
The most interesting, of course, is its massive array of lovably creepy items for kids, scary-realism costumes for adults, and fashionable costumes based on what’s fad in horror culture. Since so much is provided at one place, Spirit Halloween has everything you need from top to bottom costume to spooky cloth accessories.
TIP: Spirit Halloween makes great for last-minute shopping and impulsive buying pleasure. But if you want a specific costume, be sure to book early.
