Trick or Treat Safety

What's the best thing about Halloween, besides dressing up in costumes? That's right - Trick or Treating and getting LOTS of candy!

We want you to have a fun and safe Halloween, so here are some helpful safety tips for Trick or Treating.

1. When purchasing a costume, consider costumes that allow freedom of movement and vision as children will be climbing stairs, crossing roads and traversing unfamiliar yards.

2. Carry a flashlight and stay on sidewalks, when possible.

3. For dark colored costumes, use glow bands or reflective tape. If your child dresses as a witch, for example, you can cut stars of reflective material and attach to the hat or back of the cloak.

4. Always follow traffic rules and walk in small groups.

5. Stay with an adult, or take a cell phone with you for emergency calls and location updates.

6. Go only to well-lit houses and remain on porches rather than entering homes.

7. Keep an eye out for open flames from candles and jack-o-lanterns.

8. Before eating your candy, always inspect the wrappers and packaging.

These safety tips apply to all you "big kids" out there too!

Here's to a very safe and fun Halloween!

Hollywood Halloween

Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson are not dead...at least, not where popular costume choices for adult costumes are concerned.

According to the Miami Herald, costume suppliers predict this year’s hot costumes will be influenced by media, movies current events and pop culture with people taking their inspiration from reality television, tabloid celebs and high-profile celebrity deaths.

Of course, past deaths of notable celebrities continue to remain popular year after year, too. Hey, who isn’t a little obsessed with Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis? Lest you feel that your classic Hollywood costume isn’t unique enough, a little make-up can turn Elvis into a rocking-cool zombie costume.

Whether you want to be Hannah Montana or Harry Potter, we’ve got the pop star, celebrity and movie costumes you need to have a Hollywood Halloween!

Costume Craze on Local TV News!

Costume Craze was recently on our local TV news! Kate Maloney and her crew appeared on stations KUTV and KJZZ to showcase our Halloween costumes.

They appeared live on the morning news, and again in the afternoon. Live television can be a bit intimidating, but they did great! The video clip above shows the afternoon fashion show. How fun!

Vampire Costumes

Since the release of Stephenie Meyer's "Twilight", vampires have been carving out a sizable niche in pop culture.

With popular TV series like HBO's True Blood and the new CW program Vampire Diaries, it's likely we'll see a lot of vampires roaming the streets this Halloween.

Want to join the undead?

Guys, you'll look dangerously debonair in our Premiere Gothic Vampire Costume. Of course, the ladies will look no less perilous in our provocative Gothic Vampiress Costume.

Hey, here's an idea...why not make the whole vampire thing a family theme? Girls and boys will love our vampire costumes for children and even the dog can join in the undead festivities with our Dogula costume.

But you'd better stake a claim on your favorite creature of the night costume, now!

Halloween is only two weeks away and the vampire costumes won't last long...well, maybe until the sun comes up.

Easy Halloween Costume Shopping

One Halloween, as the clock ticked on towards 5:00 pm, a dental hygienist realized there was no way she would make it to the store to buy candy for trick-or-treaters.

Being a quick thinker, the hygienist emptied the supply closet of samples. That night, she handed out dozens of toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss.

As you might imagine, the next year, though the hygienist was prepared with all manner of sweet treats, not one little spook haunted her doorstep.

Nobody wants healthy stuff on Halloween...just like nobody wants a bad Halloween costume, you know?

So stop procrastinating. With our easy and affordable online shopping, you can order your Halloween costume in a jiffy and have it sent right to your door...that way, you'll have plenty of time to pick up that Halloween candy!

Go Wild With Costumes

This Friday, the film adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book "Where the Wild Things Are" comes to the big screen.

The story follows the adventure of Max, a mischievous young boy who is sent to his room for misbehaving.

Wearing a wolf costume, Max's imagination runs wild and soon transports him to the land of the Wild Things where Max is crowned king of their mischievous kingdom.

There's no better time to let your own imagination go wild than on the magical night of All Hallows Eve.

Bring your favorite storybook or movie character to life with our whimsical collection of Halloween costumes!

Frightfully Fun Halloween Costumes

Did you know that ghosts go to boo-ty parlors on the day before Halloween? Yep, it's a true story. Oh, and a vampire's favorite type of ship...is a blood vessel!

Okay, how about this one...Have you heard about the most famous French skeleton? His name is Napoleon bone-apart.

We also heard somewhere that vampires get major heartburn when they have stake sandwhiches for lunch.

These Halloween jokes are funny, aren't they? Well let us assure you, there's nothing funny about NOT having a great costume for Halloween...in fact, that's just downright scary!

Shop our online costume store now for frightfully fun Halloween costumes at affordable prices. But hurry, our costumes are flying off the shelves faster than bats from a belfry.

Act now and you can get flat rate shipping for a measly $2.99!

Which Witch?

Many times, when we think of witches, we imagine withered old crones dressed in black, toiling over a boiling caldron or flying a wooden broom across the Halloween sky.

But there are plenty of good witches out there, too. Like Glinda, in the "Wizard of Oz", who wears a fairytale pink dress and helps people find their way home. Or Samantha, the modern day witch in the beloved TV show, "Bewitched", who dresses like the rest of us humans and tries to live a normal life.

No matter which witch you want to be this Halloween, we've got over 200 witch costumes to fulfill your witchy costume wishes! From the popular Harry Potter costumes to sexy and simply adorable witch costumes, you're sure to find a witch costume to suit your Halloween theme of choice.

And there's no need to risk exposing your identity with a needless broom ride to the department store. Simply shop our online costume store from the comfort of your coven. It's so easy...it's like magic!

Legendary Costumes

Sleepy Hollow, a picturesque village about 30 miles north of New York City, was made famous in Washington Irving's classic tale, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," in which supersticious schoolteacher, Ichabod Crane, mysteriously disappears after a frightening encounter with a headless horseman.

In his book, Irving implies that the Headless Horseman is a fake, but visitors to the hamlet of Sleepy Hollow claim to have actually seen him.

Now we don't know if those sightings of the legendary Headless Horseman are real, or not, but we do know that we've seen him too.

Of course...that's because we have his costume in our warehouse.

The Headless Horseman isn't the only legendary costume we have, though. How about Hollywood legends, legendary superheroes or historical legends?

They're all right here at Costume Craze just waiting to take on a life of their own this Halloween!

Knockout Sports Costumes

One Halloween, a trick-or-treater went to a door dressed as Rocky, in boxing gloves and satin shorts. Shortly after collecting his goodies, the trick-or-treater returned to the house.

"Aren't you the same Rocky that just left my house?" the homeowner asked.

"Yeah," replied the trick-or-treater, "But now I'm Rocky II."

That was one smart trick-or-treater. Unfortunately, if you decide to be Rocky this Halloween, we can't guarantee you'll get double treats from homeowners (without engaging in hand-to-hand combat, that is).

But we can offer you knockout prices on a huge arena of Sports Costumes

Just don't wait until the bell rings to make your purchase...or the fight for your choice of Halloween Costumes may be over!

Check out all of our Sports Costumes now, for fun Halloween Group themes.

Fun With Zombies

Zombies are OK on Halloween, when you expect to run into such creatures, but what if you had to deal with them every stinking day of your life?

You're about to find out, as gross and ravenous hordes of zombies hit theaters in this weekend's horror comedy, Zombieland.

Geeky college kid, Columbus, is a scared-y-cat. Gun-totin' Tallahassee isn't afraid of nothin'. In an America that's been overrun by ferocious zombies, these two very different survivors will team up only to find out that there's something more terrifying that zombies...each other.

In addition to zombies, this movie looks like it's loaded with plenty of fun and thrills.

You know, Zombieland is a lot like Costume Craze that way...yep, we're loaded with lots of fun and thrilling zombie costumes!

Was That a real Gorilla?

Recently, a man in gorilla costume was mistaken for an actual gorilla in Britain.

The man, dressed as a gorilla for a charity event, ran from his home in Nottinghamshire to London on his way to support the Gorilla Organization (a group that protects apes' habitat in Africa).

He was stopped by police after they received calls from motorists who thought he was a real ape, escaped from the zoo.

Other charity event participants dressed as gorilla superheroes, ballerinas, Vikings and pirates but had no encounters with the police. We can’t think why...what's NOT realistic about an ape pirate?

More to the point, whether you're looking for costumes for charity events, parties or Halloween, we've got authentic-looking costumes that will have people everywhere questioning their reality...let's just hope they don't call the cops about it!

Split Personality Costumes

A grower in Britain has produced an apple with a split personality. His rare Golden Delicious apple is split perfectly down the middle into one red half and one green half. How cool would it be if you could do that with a costume?

Oh, but you can! Say, for instance, you ladies can't decide whether to be a little evil or something very sweet for Halloween? Simply embrace BOTH personality attributes and order our Naughty & Nice Devil and Angel Costume.

For guys who are feeling the itch to satisfy both parts of their dual egos, our Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Costume is a perfect solution (Get it? The guy drinks a "solution" that turns him into a monster half the time).

And, coming soon, we've got a Half Cowboy, Half-Indian Costume that will really knock the boots off Western lovers...er, or is that set your arrows off? Gosh, it's sorta confusing when you can't tell which personality is more dominant, you know?

But that’s the whole point, you see? With Costume Craze, you can wear two costumes in one...talk about options!

Spooktacular Costumes

As Halloween approaches, haunted houses will be popping up all over the place.

The fear that we experience when we encounter Leatherface or Freddy Kruger while sprinting down the dark corridors of the haunted house is irrational...we know it's all a fabricated illusion, but we screech in terror just the same.

Here are some less-common irrational fears you may not be familiar with:

Dendrophobia: fear of trees. These people will avoid forests, hiking trails, parks, and other places where trees are in abundance and have difficulty enjoying outdoor activities.

Xanthophobia: fear of the color yellow. These people naturally avoid anything that is yellow-- even in clothes, like a banana costume, for example.

Did you know some people even have a fear of other people dressed in costumes? Boy, they must have seen some Costume Craze customers in our spooktacular collection of Halloween Costumes...cuz they're scary enough to create all kinds of irrational fear!

Goin' Batty for Halloween Costumes

A vampire bat came flapping in from the night covered in fresh blood and parked himself on the roof of the cave to get some sleep.

Pretty soon all the other bats smelled the blood and began hassling him about where he got it. He told them to knock it off and let him get some sleep but they persisted until finally he gave in.

"OK, follow me," he said and flew out of the cave with hundreds of bats behind him. Down through a valley they went, across a river and into a forest full of trees. Finally he slowed down and all the other bats excitedly milled around him.

"Now, do you see that tree over there?" he asked. "Yes, yes, yes!" the bats all screamed in a frenzy. "Good," said the first bat, "Because I DIDN'T!"

No need for you to be blind when it comes to shopping for Halloween Costumes. Shop our online costume store early...before everyone else goes batty for our awesome selection of costumes!

Get in Gear with Steampunk Fashion

Steampunk is a rapidly growing Sci-Fi subgenre that combines the fashion and science of the Victorian era with a futuristic technology powered by steam, brass gears and dials.

While Steampunk's popularity continues to gain momentum, many costume companies have yet to create a costume category based on this unique genre.

Until now, that is.

We've combed through our vast collection of costumes and combined, in one section, all of the costumes and accessories you'll need to create your own Steampunk costume.

From pirates, Wild West and Vampire costumes to Victorian and period clothing, our costumes and accessories are a great way to enter the world of Steampunk fashion!

Pumped for Pumpkins

Recently, one of our employees was passed on the freeway by a semi truck loaded with huge crates of pumpkins, and that’s when it hit us...autumn is truly almost here and Halloween close behind.

Soon you'll be picking out nice plump pumpkins for carving. But have you considered picking out pumpkins for wearing?

New this year, we have inflatable pumpkin costumes in both child and adult sizes. Now, we realize that not everyone wants to walk around in a ginormous orange-colored puff of air on Halloween.

Not to worry, fellow pumpkin lovers. We have other great pumpkin costumes and accessories for the whole family, from toddlers to mommies...and even a pet pumpkin costume for Sparky, too.

Are you pumped for pumpkins, yet?

Scary Halloween Story

As Halloween approaches, you're going to start hearing a lot of spooky stories. Here's one that's particularly frightening...

Once upon a time there was a gal by the name of Undecided who, you guessed it, couldn't decide what to be for Halloween. Undecided "Hummed" and "Hawed" for a few weeks but still couldn't decide whether to be Sexy Robin or Wednesday Addams on October 31st.

Sadly, Undecided waited until the last minute to unveil her costume of choice. Unfortunately, by then, there were no more Princess Tiana Costumes to be had. Actually, there were no more Halloween costumes to be had anywhere. So Undecided pulled a green garbage bag over her head and went to the costume party as Jabba the Hutt.

It's a sad story, we know. But it could happen to you! Save yourself the embarrassment of wearing the worst home made Star Wars costume ever by shopping EARLY at Costume Craze! Just point and click...no lines, no fuss and plenty of good Halloween costumes to choose from.
