I was a little overwhelmed with how many people asked if I needed help, until I realized at 7:14 that the Spirit website had lied and the location actually closed at 7. I felt awful after realizing I was there after close, but the employees were still extremely kind and helpful!

I am not experienced in the costume world by any means. However, after being dragged through the…read morecrappy seasonal "Halloween" stores, and digging through the all-too-picked-over Good Will in preparations for Halloween, I was extremely surprised and pleased with Spotlight Costumes. I have walked by the place thousands of times, and always thought it was some kind of sleazy second rate kinky-costume store. The store is tight- because it is packed with great costume pieces. Their large variety includes fake mustaches and hair pieces, all sorts of masks, and full costume sets. The great thing seems to be that, as they don't appear to rely solely on the local Halloween crowd (Their website identifies theatrical and retail rentals as well) to cover their expenses, they are able to provide a large variety of costumes at reasonable prices. A breath of fresh air from the bulk of Halloween stores in the Pittsburgh area. As a bonus- there were 2 students filming a documentary on Halloween in the store during my visit- which only added to the festive atmosphere in the already crowded store.

I ended up renting a costume but one part of it was an addition at a different time and in photos the fabric differential was obvious.

They set up makeshift shops and lure you in with their above department stores assortments. I usually don't buy things from these places since they are so overpriced but sometimes you just need something for your costume that you can't make or buy second hand. This year we were in need of masks. Since we were portraying specific characters not just any mask would do. I found what we needed here, and though overpriced they were comparable to what I found online and more convenient to just pick up. Some interesting facts. They do not accept returns past a certain date. And when they do accept returns I am pretty sure the receipt said for store credit only. If you do stop in during the haunting season and want to buy more than one item I have a helpful hint. I purchased two masks and a fake machete. Upon checkout the clerk asks for my email to send me coupons. Within minutes I had coupons for 25% off next purchase. I was consistently emailed over the following weeks promoting different deals. So for next year, buy that one item. Then get that coupon and return to buy the other at the nicely discounted rate. Depending on what you buy that could add up to a decent savings.

Each aisle has its own theme. Kid's party theme like monsters inc, barbie, ugly dolls, and more. They have stickers, poster board, halloween, weddings, graduation. They manager was very useful pointed me to everything i needed to find but the one employee, she must have been new because she didn't know anything about the store. I love how each aisle was decorated and organized according to the theme you were looking for. I was just there to find neon paper for a garage sell but ill be planning a birthday soon and i will probably go here for all the specific details. The hardest part is finding out which theme to best do because there are like 40 different ones to pick from. I had my nephew with me at the time and all the halloween themed mask and spiders really scared him. He could barely walk through the aisle without the need to desperately hold my hand. I was comforted to be able to be his safety convince him that they were fake but part of me laughed at how much he believed they were real. The store could use more than 2 registers because the lines would get pretty long. They have a great selection and the prices on the small candy isn't too bad as well. Not sure if I seen anything on sale though. I never like to pay full retail value for anything!

They have Halloween costumes for everyone and party supplies galore. I had to come here two years ago (my pre-Yelp days) to get a tiara for my boss at my internship (he was running some sort of contest; I don't recall exactly). I remember also in March 2012, I came here to buy streamers and confetti for a class I was teaching. I've also come here a few times for random school supplies. One surprise- a good surprise- you know those aluminum foil trays? Better prices here than at Wal-Mart. I think I frequented Party City for those stupid trays more than anything else. We cook in them constantly. Would HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend this Party City, and the chain as a whole.
