2023 Halloween Costume Store Reviews

Halloween Costumes

• More than 10,000 Halloween costumes for people and pets of all ages
• 3,500+ exclusive costumes you won't find anywhere else

In business for over 30 years, Minnesota-based Halloween Costumes is dedicated to making Halloween happen around the world. Not only can you get more than 10,000 costumes here, but this retailer carries a line of more than 3,500 exclusive options that you can't get anywhere else. If you want to be the only person wearing your particular costume, this is the store for you.

Everything from exclusives to rentals and more

There's no other online store that makes it this easy to get a fantastic Halloween costume - for yourself, for the kids, for your group or even for your pet. Choose one of those categories to get started, or use the Costume Ideas section if you need some inspiration first. Or, go all out and jump right into the Exclusive costumes: at the time of this review, those included themes like A Handmaid's Tale, Grease, Labyrinth, Frida Kahlo, Raggedy Ann, and many more. There's even a section for Rental Costumes if you'd really like to be Darth Vader this year, but you'd rather pay $650 to rent it instead of $1,300 to buy it.

Filters make for super-easy shopping

Once you've selected a category, the filters on Halloween Costumes make it so very easy to narrow it down. This was the only site we saw that offered filters for both "sexy" and "full coverage" costumes, letting you do you in whatever way fits. You can also choose a theme, a price range, or featured costumes - and this is one of very few retailers in our review who actually had the current year's new options posted a season (or two) in advance of Halloween. Because, you know, some people have reasons to dress up before October.

Nothing missing in the costume details

Pick a costume you like and then prepare yourself, because you're going to learn everything you could possibly want in the product description, from videos showing the costume in use to recommended accessories. There's also zero guesswork as to the sizing, because the chart will tell you the exact measurements, whether it runs small, large, or true to size, plus additional sizing tips. We really appreciate the real-time in-stock info: if it's out of stock, it says which size(s) that applies to, the exact date they anticipate having it available, and gives you the option of being emailed when it's ready to order. And finally, here's a store that has customer reviews and ratings on many Halloween costumes.

Two options for returns

You've got a couple of options if you need to return your Halloween costume here. If you need a refund, you'll pay an 18% restocking fee. Otherwise, you can choose FUNBUCK$ credit on the site that you can use right away to order something else, and there's no restocking fee or waiting period. Either way, you'll print your return labels through Halloween Costumes' online return center and get it postmarked within 30 days of your original order date.

Excellent rating from the BBB

Halloween Costumes is the first retailer in our review that has a reputation to get excited about. Not only do they have the Better Business Bureau's top "A+" rating and accreditation, but they also have very few complaints there: just 36 over three years. Better yet, over 300 shoppers loved their experience with this store enough to write a favorable review on the BBB site, averaging an impressive 4.59/5 stars.

Over 3,000 five-star reviews

That matches the customer feedback we found in other places: more than 3,000 people have given Halloween Costumes a perfect five stars. Shoppers say that the customer service team pays very close attention to detail, and we saw that in their careful, professional responses to the small number of complaints among the compliments. There's also a lot of praise for the quality of the costumes and the on-time delivery, which can be hard to come by in this industry.

#1 store for Halloween costumes

We love everything about this store. It's so easy (and fun) to shop, there's plenty of information about every costume they carry, and there are options you won't find anywhere else (like costume rentals and exclusive designs). Customers leave glowing reviews about the company and the costumes themselves, and we encourage you to read them for yourself if you're on the fence for any reason. But, we can't imagine why you would be: Halloween Costumes does everything right, and there's no better place to buy yours. This is our first-place retailer of Halloween costumes.
