This is the type of place you can only find in New York. A smorgasbord of costumes, makeup, horror props! Tons of masks, hats, headpieces (think cats, bunnies, demonesses). Tons of prosthetics and fake blood, dyes, wigs, etc. There is a special downstairs section where big time productions like SNL often rent costumes and props. They have entire sections of specialized apparel ranging from zombie to cop to dominatrix and BDSM. Steam punk, cowboys and country, retro 50s, 60s hippies, 70s. Anything you need for Halloween, plays/shows/productions, or events, you can find it here. Tons of people to help at every corner of the store, and all are attentive and kind. Also a lot of photo ops around the store, including a Heath Ledger joker, various Child's Play alum, Art the Clown, Michael Myers, and a ton of other huge animatronics and props.

Costume party, conventions, any type of theme event, this place has you covered! They have ears, wigs, wings, masks, and even a magic section. They also sell really huge and realistic Halloween decorations. They even have a prank section. Now I know where to go for my niche costumes.

So much merchandise

THE one stop shopping Halloween experience in Flatiron. But you will pay for it as the prices are steep. Enter a huge bi-level space containing all kinds of costumes and accessories--for rental or purchase. Props of all sizes and masks from the most popular horror flicks. I love Halloween and this store is worth a drop in even for the fun of it. You can always sit on the bench and take a selfie with Art the Clown (from the Terrifier franchise movie). If you're looking for a costume to be anything you want to be on Halloween or some fun decorations, Abracadabra will certainly assist.

Very cool selection of horror items. There's an upstairs with plenty of costumes. The basement had hats and cool outfits. Loved it!

Movie Memorabilia is right next to the Magic Section. Art the Clown says hi.

I buy magic there whenever I'm working as a pro magician in Lower Manhattan. It's very spooky but once you get past the sentries, it's a great place to shop for more than just magic. Wigs, Masks, Make Up, and Wardrobe too.

Getting my supplies for my shows.

I found some real treasures here at this shop. Props that you couldn't find anywhere else. Great magic supplies center for a hard working magician.

Much, much more than a Halloween costume store! This massive store can help outfit you Burning Man as well! While there are definitely costumes for silly/fun things (like, an entire row of Santa costumes in June??! love it!), they have costume pieces that are more for your alter ego; that is, is you're going through a emo/Goth phase, there's stuff here for you; if want to go to festival and dress up for that, they've got some stuff; if you're into LARPing and looking for, say, a Victorian outfit, yep, stuff here for you. I think this is the most fun store I've seen in NYC if you're shopping to dress up for a theme party. Okay, well, except if the theme is just 'white party', which, I just don't see a lot of pure white clothes, lol. In terms of selection, for example, they have an entire wig *section*. There's also costume rentals available for their more elaborate pieces, which gives a lot of variety to play with if you've got the budget. There's an entire counter just for magic tricks. And so on. The staff is nice, attentive, and helpful, but not in that hovering, oppressive way. Bathrooms: Don't seem to be available for customers, though, I would think in an emergency, they'd be okay.

There prices are insanely overpriced. You can buy straight from the Manufacturers and save hundreds to thousands of dollar.

The problem is that the picture of the costume showed costume components that were not included in the purchased item.

So my son bought two of the same costumes just two different sizes, to go home and try on. when he went right back, after trying them on, to return them They refuse to refund my son. He spoke to the manager and he told him no as well. I called and tried to have this rectified on the phone with the main office . They also refused and refused to let me speak to ma supervisor. So they basically ripped off my son of $100. I think it is very unfair to take advantage of people especially in this day and age. I am not usually one to post this but I feel that we were not treated correctly and I ma tried of being taken advantage of. I will never be going to this store again nor ordering online. I will also be taking this to the next level.

Extremely Disappointing Customer Service and Unacceptable Treatment…read more I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Halloween Adventure in New York. What should have been a simple refund for a duplicate charge turned into three consecutive days of frustration, inconvenience, and disrespect. On October 7th, I purchased colored contact lenses, but the payment machine froze during the transaction. Following the instructions of the cashier who was assisting me, I swiped my card again and thought nothing more of it. A few days later, I checked my bank account and discovered that I had been charged twice for the purchase. On October 13th, I returned to the store to request a refund. Unfortunately, the cashier lead seemed unwilling to believe me, despite my bank statement showing the duplicate charges. She explained that she could not find two receipts showing the exact same items, claiming that the other receipt listed different colored contacts. However, the cashier who originally assisted me recognized me and confirmed that the machine had frozen and that a mistake had been made. Despite this confirmation, the cashier lead claimed she did not know how to resolve the issue and instructed me to return the following day. After finishing a long shift at my own job, I returned on October 14th. A manager assisted me but was unfamiliar with the situation. I explained everything again, only to be told that the original cashier was not working and that they could not verify what had happened. Once again, I was asked to return another day. I returned on October 16th, hoping that the matter would finally be resolved. The same manager assisted me but did not even attempt to speak with the cashier who had acknowledged the original mistake. Instead, I was told there was nothing they could do, that I was essentially out of luck, and that I had to leave without a refund. What made this experience even more upsetting was that, throughout my conversation with the cashier lead, I was repeatedly misgendered and referred to as "he" instead of "she." This was disrespectful and made an already frustrating situation even more uncomfortable. I understand that mistakes happen, and I initially had no issue with the payment machine malfunctioning. What I cannot understand is how a business can acknowledge that a mistake occurred, make a customer return multiple times, and ultimately refuse to take responsibility for resolving the issue. I have now spent time and effort making three separate trips to the store over a duplicate charge that was not my fault, only to be left feeling dismissed, disrespected, and as though my money has been taken without any accountability. I expected better from Halloween Adventure. Management needs to improve its refund procedures, staff communication, and customer service, and ensure that every customer is treated with basic respect. I hope the store takes this complaint seriously, because this was an unacceptable experience that has seriously damaged my trust in the business. Although I must say that the cashier who originally made the mistake did apologies and I am no way angered or annoyed by their mistake as we are humans and we all make mistakes, but I'm disgusted on how management treated me and disrespected me and didn't even offer store credit or any way of recognizing the customer they are disrespecting in a place that apparently is ran by gender neutral/lgbtq+ allies.

So when Kitschy Flower announced a vintage doll live sale and holiday event at the shop, I knew I could not miss it. I gathered up some of my most fashionable to attend. We did the RSVP on line. Some last minute guest tagged along and also went to shopping. There was an array of treats and fun beverages. So lovely to see the Mickey (Mickey Boardman) and Baby Lynnie (Lynn Yaeger) did their Friday live show from the event and Cole (Kitschy Flower from Atlanta) popped in showing the doll highlights. Everyone working was insanely stylish and adorable. I could put them in my pocket. The doll fans were also dressed to impressed. I was so happy to feel the holiday energy and the creativity from the event. I knew I had to leave with a new little friend. I snagged an adorable kewpie baby. My friends found vintage clothing and jewelry that they had to take home. Everything was reasonable for what we got. Some items are more expensive since they are more rare. Highly recommend this destination spot for the NY residents but also for the tourist looking for the unique souvenir.
