HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

Halloween has become one of the most entertaining holidays of the year. Kids and adults both get to dress up in fun and frightening costumes, attend parties, enter contests, and share in festivities.

Halloween costumes themselves have become far more elaborate than the old "bedsheet-over-the-head" ghost of yesteryear. Indeed, in retail stores you can find yourself spending hundreds of dollars on just one costume.

With the advent of the internet, however, you can save 50% or more off traditional retail prices. From the comfort of your own home, you can easily browse hundreds of costumes to find just the one you're looking for. No more driving from store to store, fighting the crowds, or settling for what's "left over" after all the good costumes have been taken.

When shopping at different online Halloween costume stores, you want to consider a few factors. Some of these include:

•  Selection.  Some stores have thousands of costumes available; others may have just a couple hundred. The more costumes they have, the greater chance you'll find what you're looking for.

•  Cost.  Even among online stores, costs vary widely. You want to find a store that reliably has low prices, passing the savings on to you.

•  Customer Service.  Do they let you check the status of your order online? Answer your questions in a FAQ section? Provide support after the sale?

TopConsumerReviews.com has reviewed and ranked the best Halloween costume stores online today. We hope you find these reviews helpful in your next costume purchase!

Halloween Express

2009 Best-in-class Blue Ribbon award 5 stars

HALLOWEEN EXPRESS

Halloween Express is the premier costume store on the web. Combining an easy to use interface, huge selection, low prices, and a consumer-friendly return policy, this is the Cadillac of Halloween costume sites. More...

Costume Craze

4.5 stars

COSTUME CRAZE

Costume Craze offers an incredible number of costumes at competitive prices. With easy navigation and a flat-rate same-day shipping policy, this is a great site to shop. More...

Spirit Halloween

4 stars

SPIRIT HALLOWEEN

Spirit Halloween is a fun site to shop. They offer a wide selection of adult, children, and pet costumes, as well as many accessories. With over 25 years in the business, Spirit Halloween does a great job delivering a fine selection of costumes at reasonable prices. More...

Costume Hub

4 stars

COSTUME HUB

Costume Hub ranks high with their selection, pricing and fair return policy. We liked the descriptions provided on the products and the low price/higher priced costume selection to meet everyone’s budget needs. This is a great option for all your Halloween costume needs. More...

Costume Kingdom

3.5 stars

COSTUME KINGDOM

Costume Kingdom has created a Halloween costume store with the customer in mind. The site is very well organized, delivers free shipping on orders of $50 or more, and provides a fair return policy. More...

Buy Costumes

3.5 stars

BUY COSTUMES

Buy Costumes is a good contender in online Halloween costume stores. A large selection and friendly interface makes shopping here an enjoyable experience, but the pricing was less than impressive. More...

Costume Discounters

3 stars

COSTUME DISCOUNTERS

Costume Discounters provides low-cost costume options for those with a budget in mind. The overall site functionality is limited and searching through the costume choices is cumbersome. However, if you know the exact costume you want and the right size, Costume Discounters might be the right store for you. More...

Costumes by Shindigz

3 stars

COSTUMES BY SHINDIGZ

Costumes by Shindigz is a fine store to find a variety of costumes. They give you a number of helpful search options. While they don't have as many costumes as our top selections, the variety they offer is impressive. More...

Half Price Costumes

2.5 stars

HALF PRICE COSTUMES

Half Price Costumes is a fair Halloween costume store but with a limited focus on the customer. It's generally easy to find what you're looking for, they have a large selection of items, and free shipping. But to rank higher they need better prices and a more consumer-friendly return policy. More...

Extreme Halloween Network

2.5 stars

EXTREME HALLOWEEN NETWORK

If you can get past the gaudy and distracting interface, Extreme Halloween Network delivers a decent costume selection at reasonably low prices. More...

Frank Bee Costumes

2 stars

FRANK BEE COSTUME CENTER

Frank Bee Costume Center has a confusing website layout and poor return policy. Although their prices are competitive with other sites, overall you can do better. More...

Costume City

2 stars

COSTUME CITY

Costume City provides a well organized website with easy navigation for costumes and accessories. However, appearances can be deceiving. At Costume City you'll have much fewer costumes to select from, and you'll pay a higher price than many of the other companies. With only 2 days to let them know you are returning your costume and only 5 days to get it to them - we couldn't find any good reason to shop at Costume City. More...

Anytime Costumes

1.5 stars

ANYTIME COSTUMES

While the selection is a little smaller than some of the higher ranked sites, we liked the organization and clean look to Anytime Costumes. However, the return policy is not very generous which creates more risk for shopping at Anytime Costumes. More...
