Come Sale Away - Halloween Costumes

2008_10_15marcusisatellatubbie.jpg
That's our esteemed Editor-in-Chief in the yellow.

Halloween is coming up quicker than Sarah Palin at a first-come, first-serve scrunchy sale at Marshall's, so it’s time to snag a costume before they all get picked over. Where to go? Here’s our list:

Fantasy Costumes
4065 N. Milwaukee
It huge, and it has all the classics. Our favorites from the website are Beer Pong Man, Slutty Referee, and Barbie's boyfriend, Ken.

Halloween Hallway
222 S. Wabash
Conveniently located in the South Loop so you can pick up something spooky on your lunch hour.

Broadway Costumes, Inc.
1100 W. Cermak
Open since 1886, this shop provides high quality theatrical costumes for the Halloweener who wants to make a serious impression. Warning: this is not for the bar-goer who's going to get it spilled and puked on.

Belmont
When in doubt, just go to Belmont between Sheffield and Halsted and walk around. You’re bound to find something creative yet delightfully trashy at one of these stores:

The Alley, 3228 N. Clark
Egor's Dungeon, 900 W. Belmont
Ragstock, 812 W. Belmont
Hollywood Mirror, also listed as 812 W. Belmont (below Ragstock)

I always said he was destined for great things!

Wow you made it a whole 2 blocks south of madison. were the people on the southbound red and orange lines to scary or you dont know how to work the GPS when the streets are numbered.

Fed-up, Cermak is 22 blocks south of Madison. Read a little closer before you lay into the chicagoist staff.

Thunderbelly you sir are correct. Still think the blog might be due for a name change to Northside chicagoist, but if it's day light we will go as far as the south loop.

That's rid, Fed Up. Because Chuck Sudo never talks about Bridgeport. Never.
