I'll admit that they do have a great selection, with their online store having even more, but there's just something about these places that are here one month and gone the next. The prices are not much (or no) better than locally-owned shops, but they are probably more convenient for most people. They do have very friendly and helpful staff, which is always good.

As far as Halloween stores go, this one seemed rather large and quite organized, which was…read moreunexpected. This close to the actual holiday I anticipated disarray and a limited selection of previously assembled costumes but I assumed incorrectly. The wig selection was impressive while the prop variety left much to be desired. Of course it's expensive but that's to be expected.

Party Paradise has been my go-to for my kids birthday parties. And especially after seeing their…read moregreat customer service, I'm upgrading my review to five stars. This past weekend I was in a rush and was in need of some Minecraft balloons ... ya know, as one does. They immediately showed me what they had, which worked perfectly. And I was out the door with three Mylar balloons and half of a dozen of regular balloons in less than 10 minutes. I used to have to pick up balloons a lot when I planned events, and I know the time suck that can come from someone slowly inflating several balloons. That was not the case at all here. They were friendly, and asked me questions about when my party was to determine if the balloons needed to have Hi-Float in them to last longer. I also got to peek at the rest of their selection. For not a huge space, it is chock full of party decorations, costumes and more. This is a great spot to go when in need of some extra party pizzazz!

Caulfield's Creep Fest in Louisville was exactly the kind of event I was hoping for…read more The Caulfield's store is downstairs and all the vendors were upstairs, and let me tell you--the costume contest was being taken VERY seriously. There were some seriously good costumes! It was really crowded, and there were definitely some screaming kids who were scared, which honestly just made the whole experience even more entertaining. They advertised having food trucks, but I honestly didn't see any. There was one possible food truck right at the entrance, but I wouldn't go expecting a whole variety of food trucks to choose from. Maybe I just missed them! Overall, it was crowded, creepy, fun, and wonderful. Exactly what you want from a Creep Fest! #CaulfieldsCreepFest #LouisvilleKY #CreepFest #SpookySeason #PhoebeExplores

There was room after room of costumes, props, decor, spooky animatronics, and more! And don't worry, if you're not local and are just visiting like we were, they are more than happy to ship things out to you. It's obvious that customer service is important to the owners and the community has responded positively and embraced them seeing as they have been around over 100 years!

Rent your Persona For the Weekend! This place is the only…read moreother Costume Rental place I could find in Louisville. The other, I will not mention since I did not go, I heard bad reviews. This little show is located on Story Avenue and is very senior mom and pop feel. You walk in and the place smells of moth balls and 1950's, but the costume selection is pretty decent. I think the owners made a lot of the pieces themselves, so please try on everything to make sure there are no loose seems or holes. However you do get a lower cost with the more mom made quality. A weekend rental for a full costume and all accessories (which includes any wigs, hats or jewelry) is only $65 and $60 a piece if you get a couples theme. The owners are very nice and accommodating and carry many sizes. Although, I couldn't find a bit more provocative Cleopatra they had many costumes that I may come back to view or rent if the time calls. I definitely will not count this place out in my costume search. Make sure to call ahead, since they sometimes have odd hours.

Spirit halloweens are what you make them. Are they slightly overpriced, crowded and somewhat anxiety inducing? Yes! Do they have cool items and make Halloween shopping so much more convenient? Also yes! This shop is pretty well staffed and well upkept. Pretty easy to navigate and not as foresee aisles and spaces as other spirit Halloweens. We stopped in to grab the kids Halloween costumes. We are doing a cult horror film theme for our Halloween party haunted forest this year and they had plenty to choose from. Overall I enjoy the spirit Halloween's.

I went shopping a few weeks back with my 5 girls and some friends when we stopped into this shop. The building walking in will Give you big time nostalgia vibes. Lots of oldest clothing styles and vintage items to browse in this two level shop. The men's department is upstairs and the costume rental area is in the very rear. When back there be sure to look in the rafters for some old school child terrorizing animal mascot heads that are fun to check out. On our trip here my oldest found a 50s retro looking swim suit that she fell in love with. It was reasonably priced so we made the purchase. Overall a pretty cool shop that was fun to browse and brought a blast from the past feeling for me personally. Only strange thing was there was rack with an old uofl mascot hoodie my second oldest wanted but it wasn't priced yet so they simply said "not for sale".

Smaller sized spirit store that was more costumes than decorations than others it felt like. Store itself was well maintained and organized. Workers seemed to be solid.

We also went ahead finished up costume shopping for the other kiddos. Overall solid and decent spirit Halloween. You know coming in they are pricey but they are the best option when it comes to extensive Halloween selections.
