I opened up the doors, and they had tons of stuff....my favorite would've been the Amy Brown fairy costumes for adults. I had a look around, well, not a quick look around, cause this store has everything you would ever want in a Halloween costume. Besides the Amy Brown fairies for adults and children, they had the Glee cheerleader costume. And, they have a pregnant stomach, and Super Mario, and naughty nurse and tons and tons of stuff. They have a zombie baby decoration that cries when you walk by. There's an area in the back set up like a haunted house, complete with fake corpses and even fake headless things. They aren't cheap, aren't local, and are very commercial, but the next time I need a Halloween costume, I'll try there first...if I had only bought the Glee cheerleader costume, that would've been awesome, or the naughty nurse, or the fairy. let me explain about the fairies...I always wanted one for a tattoo, and Amy Brown fairy. That is how much I like Amy Brown's work. I was so surprised to see that. And they are so detailed. There are fitting areas, as well. I'd probably need one to try on the Glee cheerleader costume. So, I touched, and pressed all the buttons setting off all the motion active decorations, and left, buying one pair of white knee highs.

Halloween is sneaking up on us....and the Spirit Halloween Superstore on 40 Highway in Independence…read morewill get you in the mood AND offer some very cool ways to scare those Trick or Treaters who will descend on your neighborhood in a few short weeks. I was checking their site online and was presented with a terrific 'Save 25% on one item' coupon that could be used in the retail stores as well. Oh, yes, I do love saving money, so I can BUY MORE Halloween decorations....so I printed out the coupon and headed over to see the goodies. Lots of screamers on display, believe you me. I really wanted the evil three-headed dog with flashing red eyes -- all six of them -- and steam issuing from every snarling mouth, but it was more than I could justify spending. What did I get, you ask? Well, if you want to know that, you'll just have to come trick or treating at my house this year, won't you? Warning: If you are deathly afraid of clowns, I'd avoid this store at all costs. Or at least take a friend (someone you can trust) with you. EVERYWHERE....clowns! Very wicked evil sneering clowns..... Happy Halloween!

You know those crappy pop-up Halloween shops that you occasionally see from October 1 through…read moreNovember 1? This is definitely not one of them. This is a full blown costume shop, full of wigs, masks, fabrics, props, and even rental costumes. It's become the first place I think of for any type of costume, and you can usually find something solid here. Props to the staff who, on a Saturday before Halloween, handled a jam-packed shop with aplomb. I was impressed with how friendly and helpful everyone here was. Most of the costumes and props here are priced in the expected range, with a couple things jacked up a notch. I grew up having my seamstress mom making everything for me each year, so it's a bit of an adjustment to see everything store bought. It doesn't mean it's not as good, but it would be cool to feature some local crafters or costume maestros here to give it a personalized feel.

Holy crap! This place is a beautiful nightmare if I've ever seen one…read more Deep into KCK, this is more than simply a costume shop, and I was thoroughly impressed in my tour. I came in to browse random costumes, but was immediately taken aback by the sheer magnitude and variety of offerings. If this place doesn't have what you want, it doesn't exist. Where to start? True to the name, this place has just a ridiculous selection of prop guns. Some are fake, but many are actually real guns that have been deactivated. With all types of firearms from all eras, I felt like I was in some secret backroom belonging to a separatist movement, and I mean that in the best way possible. Oh, and the same goes for swords, spears and anything else you could use to pretend to kill somebody onstage. The costumes they have are pretty dang legit. Period clothing and uniforms in excellent condition. This isn't a costume shop strictly for Halloween drunkenness, this is a place for when you REALLY need to look the part. I was astounded by the quality of costumes. They also have full mascot costumes! Like you'd see at football games! Man oh man, I would love to just play in that room for a while. And no, I'm not a furry. There's also the typical Halloween stuff, fake blood and crappy wigs and cheap decorations. But on top of that, there are just mountains of awesome props. It all seems incredibly disorganized, but the staff seem to know where everything is. I would LOVE to spend hours just digging through this place, as I think it might just be Kansas City's best treasure hunt. Highly worth checking out.
