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.

See all

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.

They just opened a couple days ago. They have a coupon on line I'm posting. Check out their website. You have to go into the store though it's an experience in itself.

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.

Yelp doesn't like this cuz I had work "relationships" with the scumbags & my post is a no no

When I asked basic questions about party supplies, I was offered no assistance or guidance whatsoever. On top of that, the pricing felt excessive for the level of service provided. Customer service should feel welcoming and respectful, and unfortunately, that was not the case here. Because of this experience, I will not be returning or recommending this store. If you're looking for good-quality products, fair pricing, and genuinely kind, polite, and professional service, I highly recommend Balloon Saloon instead. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with respect and care. It's absolutely worth spending your money at a place where customers are welcomed and valued.

The prices are very fair and they even had some shoes on clearance. Character shoes seemed to range from $40-$80. I received very friendly customer service and I was appreciative of the help and advice. One thing I really liked is that they did not try to rush me or force me to choose quickly. They also did not try to push me into buying the more expensive option. Instead, they offered to put shoes on hold for me so that I could think about it and come back if I needed to since I was in between two styles. Another thing I liked is that they had a wood floor inserted into the room with a ballet barre so that people can properly get the feel of a shoe on a dance floor. They also have a bathroom which is always nice. Overall, I highly recommend this dance store! It is so refreshing to find a good one with friendly employees, fair prices, and a wide selection.

I heard a weird fat shaming comment from a worker there (not towards me personally), but overall the staff has been very friendly and knowledgeable. I have not seen this worker since so maybe they're no longer there. However, I had to remove a star for sizing; more sizes would be nice that fit longer-torso dancers. I also wish they'd stock another brand of tights since I'm not fond of capezio brand, but I'm not sure- maybe this has been updated since I've been.

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.
