Halloween Invades Columbus
The nip of fall has only just begun to creep back into Columbus, yet school is now back in full swing and that can only mean one thing—
Halloween is coming!
Spirit Halloween stores have popped up all over Columbus. Over the weekend I made my way into one and I must say the selection of props is simply better than ever. Every major discount chain suddenly has a Halloween section brimming with every thing you could possibly need to spook up your yard, accessorize your children or haunt your house—and it’s not even October yet!
I want to point out two Columbus stores that are year round experts in costuming. Costume Holiday House on the northwest side and the more centrally located Costume Specialists both feature your average costumes and props for purchase, AND they both have an extensive costume rental facility as well. If you want to wear a costume that is far more authentic and interesting than almost anything you can buy at WalMart, then may I suggest renting a costume from one or the other of these stores? If you want to get something really interesting or special, or you have a specific rental in mind, do yourself a favor and go reserve your costume early.
I do not have personal experience with Costume Holiday House, but I can tell you that Costume Specialists has makeup gurus that can tell you everything from how to apply those ridiculous pink feather eyelashes to how to create a full on realistic looking zombie face complete with latex appliances.
Happy Haunting Everyone!
