2022 Halloween Costume Store Reviews
The Halloween Spot
- Costumes and accessories for adults, children, seasonal (like Easter Bunny/Santa), and pets
- 21-day return policy (new/unused condition)
- $7.99 for shipping (2-3 business days)
The Halloween Spot is one of the newer costume shops in our review. Based in Sugar Land, Texas, and with warehouses in Georgia, this store offers order delivery within 2-3 business days if you need something fast.
Fairly average online store
There are quite a few categories of costumes for sale here: adults, children, and even pets. Accessories are on offer too, and if the outfit you're looking for is seasonal (like Easter Bunny or Santa Claus), The Halloween Spot has you covered.
No filters = takes longer to shop
The shopping experience here isn't anything to get excited about. When you click on Adult Halloween Costumes, for instance, the only available filters are Seasonal, Men's/Women's, and Adult/Plus Sizes. If you're looking for a quick way to jump to a theme or trend, no such luck. Scrolling through that selection, there were just under 100 options like 80s Wild Child ($74.99), 90s Stupid Tuxedo ($54.99), and Gothic Venetian Harlequin ($54.99).
Nice return policy
The Halloween Spot offers a 21-day return policy. You can get a refund as long as your items are in new and unused condition, with all original packaging, so that they can resell the products. Lingerie, wigs, beards and facial hair costume pieces are all refundable only if the packaging hasn't been opened at all (due to hygiene issues).
Watch for discount offers
During our visit to The Halloween Spot, we got a pop-up with a 10^% discount code when we went to leave the website. They sweetened the deal to 15% if we were willing to provide them with our email address. You might spot similar offers while you shop too.
Social media is a little weird here
We're not really sure what to make of this Halloween costume store. Their social media channels are pretty hit-or-miss. Instagram posts for Christmas but practically nothing leading up to Halloween? Facebook posts encouraging adults to "get something just for YOU" for a change - and then recommending a kids' reindeer costume for that? Um, what?
Reputation is trending upward
But, despite seeming to not have any kind of listing with the Better Business Bureau, The Halloween Spot has a surprisingly good average when you look at the ratings posted to their store. We found verified shopper reviews from the weeks just prior to this evaluation, and about 85% of all ratings - out of 1100+ - give four or five stars to the costumes or accessories that were ordered. Most costumes themselves only have a few ratings (we didn't see more than a dozen on any one outfit or accessory).
We expect good things going forward
The Halloween Spot earns a three-star rating from us - for now. The selection isn't as extensive as many of their rivals, and the online store could be more intuitive to shop. But, we're encouraged by the unfiltered, positive recent reviews on the site and we didn't spot any red flags that would make us avoid shopping here. We look forward to seeing this Halloween costume retailer continue to grow and make improvements in the future.

Where Can You Find the Best Selection of Halloween Costumes?
There's something in Halloween for everyone, from the kids who can't wait to get their hands on piles of free candy, to grown-ups who get to feel like a kid again by dressing up like their favorite superhero or celebrity. Of course, at the heart of any Halloween celebration is the perfect costume. If you're tired of dragging out the same tired clown, witch, or devil attire every year and you're ready for something new, it's time to get shopping!
But wait - what if it's not even fall yet? Or what if you're trying to dress up your kids for their end-of-the-year theme days at school? No need to panic: even though they're called "Halloween" costumes, you can shop for almost any imaginable attire with any number of online retailers who keep the proverbial doors open year-round. That's especially true now that conventions, cosplay, and other dress-up occasions have become so popular - why should that kind of fun be limited to the month of October, right?
Halloween Costume Store FAQ
Continued from above...
One of the best things about shopping for your Halloween costume online is the selection. Have you been to a retail store a few weeks before the holiday and seen how picked-over it gets? Good luck finding anything that fits or matches, let alone a costume that everyone will be talking about.
Yes, you're always going to find the most options in stock if you shop sooner rather than later, but some online stores can hook you up with a killer costume - literally, if you're into dressing up like a slasher movie - and get it delivered even just a few days before Halloween.
With so many Halloween costume stores out there, and so many themes to choose from, it's normal to feel a little overwhelmed when deciding where to shop. Want to make it a little easier? Keep these factors in mind:
- Ease of navigating the site. Some stores make it quick and fun to find exactly what you're looking for, or to get ideas if you're feeling uninspired. Others make you click and click and click just to see what they have. Look for filters that let you sort by your budget, size, or desired theme.
- Selection. Even the most user-friendly online store isn't much good if it only carries a handful of Halloween costumes. How many will you have to choose from? More importantly, are they actually in stock?
- Return policy. Yeah, so maybe you thought you'd fit perfectly into that Elvis costume, but it's a little tight in some places and loose in others. Will the store let you return it? Be sure to read the details about how long you have to send it back and if the package has to be unopened or just in new, resalable condition.
- Customer satisfaction. Has the store been rated by the Better Business Bureau? Have shoppers had a good experience getting their Halloween costumes delivered on time? Was the return process hassle-free or hard to deal with? Are the costumes well-made or flimsy?
To help you get your spooky on, TopConsumerReviews.com has evaluated and ranked today's most popular online retailers of Halloween costumes. We're sure this information will make it fun and fast to get the perfect outfit before the big party or trick-or-treat!
