Ummmmm so on October 11th while I was New York Costumes / Halloween Adventure checking out a couple of things & seeing few old friends.The whole time I was there nothing was said to me till later on in the night when I was talking to the security who happens to be a friend telling me that I'm banned & have been for the longest.That's news to me & to him which idk y I was banned in the first place.The first reason why I was banned was cuz of a bad review I had left on Gothic Renaissance on yelp which was many months ago & had nothing to do with HA.Now on October 12th I got a second reason y I'm banned & the reason is so fucking ridiculous that I can't believe it myself & this reason was that I tazed a customer in 2018.Somebody that works in this disgusting store had the balls to make up a LIE for no apparent reason & this trannie worker(no longer friends)chimed in & said "Yeah she did that".Few people I've told this to are in shock by this cuz they know it's NOT TRUE & NEVER HAPPENED @ all.I have contacted the manager since that morning(Oct 12th)& no response but even tho she's the one who said it to another worker to tell me.I called the store to talk to the Owner of the store,but he was running all over the store & doesn't talk on the register phone.The plot thickens at HA,later on I was told that the hiring manager who I thought was a friend was going around the store telling her co workers that she was avoiding me,gave them a reason & thought I knew about it & it happened before this absurd accusation.Last time I checked I gave that multi headed hydra her xmas gift last year & I thought to myself that I should cool it with going to the store a lot & let her work(giving space),so I don't know where she got the idea that she needed to avoid me.With all this being said & done I'm just curious with questions such as: Was this customer a female or make Did someone vid this on their phone What did the customer do that I had to take them Why wasn't I arrested for this right after it happened Why didn't I get fired right away How come I worked at the store 2 more times after 2018(2019 & 2021) How was I able to keep going to the store after 6 years Nothing adds up to this fucktarded accusations & no proof of this ever happened.These people that work there are just drama dwellers & petty ass people that can't focus on themselves cuz they're so caught up in bringing drama to their shitty minimum wage job.This why I don't support them.Now they're butt hurt cuz I made a post about what happened on social media that they wanted to bring in lawyers & posting about my TRUTH ISN'T ILLEGAL.Does this count as a lawsuit⁉...... Yelp doesn't like this cuz I had work "relationships" with the scumbags & my post is a no no read more

Staff harassing you simply for asking questions or being in the wrong place... I was called multiple homophobic slurs because I was looking at a location that was apparently off limits (I had no idea) then when I asked where it would be I was called the slurs... then kicked out for being in the wrong place. I will not be returning and I advise all to avoid this place read more

I'm more partial to Abracadabra for both costumes and decorations, their selection is larger and there staff are friendlier. I still think Halloween Adventure is really cool, I usually visit both around Halloween or when I'm looking for something specific. They have a lot of novelty items, there's a kind of carnival or sideshow vibe in there. I love the odd artwork and pieces of furniture sprinkled about. They also have an excellent selection of bloody severed limbs - you won't find such great quality ones at Party City! Even pre-COVID, when looking for certain costume pieces they were out of a lot of things. Standard things, like evening gloves or tights, they'd be out of certain colors or styles. But if your costume needs aren't super elaborate they should have you covered. The staff know where everything is like the back of their hand - so ask. They were able to direct me to what I was looking for easily, and give me creative ideas on how to modify it. read more

The store is in the process of re-building it's stock, it has had a few bumps along the way, but the manager staff is making it work. What it truly needs is all the goth-kids from the 90's who are grown up now, to come back with their families and introduce a new generation to a store many of us called our second home. read more

Thanks to customer service, I'm very satisfied. It just sucked that on such a hot day their top floor a/c was on the fritz. The young lady who helped us was really sweet. I love the amount of patience she had with us while we spent up to an hour looking around at all the cool stuff they had. I will say their prices are kind of expensive. I found myself comparing them to a lot of sites online. They have always been a little pricey. I do like that there is a upstairs and a downstairs. Everyone is so friendly here. read more

My all time favorite Halloween store and it is open all year round! Although the entrance is small you'd be pleased or even overwhelmed by all you can find in the store!! Luckily at the entrance there is a store map that can help you find what you're looking for. The staff in my experience has always been helpful, from getting things from storage, exchanges if something is damaged, or even holding my bag while I shopped for Halloween decorations for my job. Asides from decorations and props, they also have plenty of costumes, masks, wigs etc for any theme & they also have kids sections if needed. I bought a red cape and the quality asides from good was really warm. Definitely a 5star spot! read more

This is always a fun store to browse though when looking for a costume - from inexpensive Venetian masks to High End full body stuff. I was looking for something very specific here for the them of being a slave ala bondage, but alas they didn't really have many choices. I was looking along the lines of a leather mask, collar, and chain and bouncing back and forth from the Goth shop down the block I only managed to find a collar for $8 here. A better quality collar more in line with my theme was $40 at the Goth shop. Nonetheless, the prices are reasonable, the shop is well done - besides the cracked glass storefront along Broadway, it's very well organized for a place that packs a ton of costumes and (large) decorations. If you're someone like me who doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume (that you'd probably not wear again) this is a good place to at least get some ideas. -And do so in September to avoid the rush of Halloween. read more

Halloween Adventure - Storefront - Costumes Near Me - New York, New York

Halloween Adventure was quite an adventure (pun intended). I needed a last minute costume for a party on November 1. I only had a day to shop for my costume and there were very limited selections for Amazon's 'next day delivery' options. Also, none of the Party City's had the Dorothy costume that I wanted. Hence, I decided to bite the bullet and try one of the unique costume shops in the city. I came here on Halloween day itself (yikes!) but I was surprised how strategic and organized everything was. YES it was definitely chaotic but there were so many customer service reps making sure everything was running smoothly. I was assisted and the lady was very helpful and even made a friendly conversation with me. Very pleasant. I found my Dorothy costume and even the basket. The prices were only a little bit more expensive than Amazon but I was relieved they at least had it. You are not allowed to try on the costume but the assistants are allowed to open the package and show it to you. The only drawback to this place is all sales are final. I understand if it's on costumes but I wish they would accept a return policy on accessories. I think the basket with Toto in it was very cheap looking and I would like to return it. Anyways, besides this, this is definitely a place worth checking out should Amazon and Party City fail you. read more

This place is awesome! There's a ton of costumes, masks, and costume accessories. It's huge and there's 2 floors, so come prepared! The staff is surprisingly very helpful and overall friendly. Three things to note: 1) they don't let you try costumes on unless it's over $100. 2) they can't do holds-everything is first come, first serve. 3) everything is final sale. I loved this place. Anything costume wise I thought I'd nee they had! read more

I needed a crown of ivy for a toga party. Not only did the first employee I asked know exactly where it was, but she was extremely apologetic that they only had green left, and were out of the gold. (I was only expecting green, but she thought gold would look better on a god such as myself.*) In addition to having such great service, Halloween Adventure is enormous. I don't think there is a store in the world with a more comprehensive collection of costumes and props. It runs all the way through the block, and they carry everything you could possibly need for theme parties, Halloween, or just general freakiness. Even though they employ around 15 cashiers during the weeks leading up to Halloween, there are still lines around the block. I would recommend hitting them up at least a month before Halloween if you want a costume. But no one ever thinks about that. It'd be like finishing a paper a week before it's due; we just don't have it in us. I must admit, I was a bit disturbed by the penholder. When I went to sign my credit card receipt, I was forced to pull a pen out of a tiny gentleman's rear end. I hesitated to reinsert it when I was done. I mean, this pen to his rear end was like a fire hydrant to mine. Traumatizing. __________ *She told me that. With her eyes, at least. read more

Halloween all year long, all day, err day! Great selection of costumes and accessories. Had just what I needed to put together my outfit for this year's Yelp Winter Break in AC party. Prices range from inexpensive manufacturer costumes to really expensive designer duds. They even have dressing rooms here to try on stuff which is great. Terrific friendly staff here too that are very helpful. If I worked in a fun environment like this I would be cheery and fun too. It's like letting your inner child run wild over two floors of wall to wall Halloween all year long. I can imaging Halloween season this place is a mob scene so shop accordingly. Costumes, props, decorations, masks, accessories - you name it and you can probably find it here. All sales are final though so make sure what you get is what you really want. read more

OMG this place is fun! Whatever it is you're looking for I bet it's here. Really. There are costumes for everyone and about everything! I really didn't know what I was looking for, so I just started walking around the million? aisles. Tried a few masks on, chatted with a few staff members and loved every second. I finally decided on a Mardi Gras type of mask, I love it! The staff is super friendly and willing to help with any questions you may have. And, if you're up for it, they'll make great suggestions! Oh, don't leave without checking out the basement! Amazing Leg Avenue type costumes down there! read more

Halloween Adventure - Costumes Near Me - New York, New York

I love Halloween, and I love this store! From wigs, to every mask you can think of, passing through costumes, gags, hats, sunglasses, accessories, this place is the ultimate purveyor for your costume party shopping. I love that they divide costumes into sections so that you will find pretty much everything concerning an specific theme in one spot; there's a Roman/Gladiator spot, an Star Wars spot, a Dungeon/Sexy Costume spot (girl's pay attention) etc... Huge rental repertoire, with costume props gallore; want to dress as Napoleon Bonaparte, an Spanish Conquistador, or a full Knight in Shinning Armor? You'll feel just like in a movie, for $250.00 bucks. Or you can actually buy the props for $1,000.00 USD or less, so you can enact your crazy fetish fantasies, film ur own movie, or any other crazy prank that may strike ur fancy. The service is also worth the mention; the guys that work there are usually in costume, so guide yourself by the apron they wear (see pic) and by the fact that they carouse the store, yelling out loud "Do not wear the costumes and accessories, or else..." -half in jest, half serious; people do it anyways. One final personal touch is that the owner himself plays around in the store, trying out gags, costumes and just having a good time. Do check their life sized display mannequins; Frankenstein, Darth Vader and other seasonal characters; you may also stumble with a Yelper or 5, in full star costumes. read more

Tomorrow, I may be sporting a huge bruise on my left hip. No, not because I bought effects makeup at this one-stop super-shop, but because I took a bit of a spill leaving the store through its 4th Avenue exit. (I will admit I was distracted by my friend & the glow-in-the-dark ghouls in the foyer.) Fun, fun, fun @ this massive emporium of costumes. If you can imagine it, you can probably source it here. It's not cheap, but it is an "Adventure" as their name suggests. As for the "Halloween" part, I'm not sure because I think the store is open year round. (I went tonight for St. Patty's Day items.) Lots of laughs & amusement even if you go just to browse. (Hello cheap date!) read more

If this place isn't living testament to the fact that a bunch of real FREAKS live in NYC, I don't know what is. It is a giant (like it takes up like 80% of the block) Halloween store that sells $100 velvet capes and such and they're open ALL YEAR ROUND. Now, I started racking my brain wondering how an establishment such as this can possibly thrive in say June or July... and then I remembered all the burlesque dancers, all the drag queens, all the theme parties.... and all the things I know that I don't know about... and all the people who attend them... and then I guess it all made sense. Also, when I was walking down Fourth Avenue the other day, I was window shopping here, just a few short weeks after Halloween, and I saw some OUTRAGEOUS lingerie-esque fairy queene outfit in the window. I totally wanted it and I realized that if I had absolutely any excuse to get it, I totally would. So I guess that's how they stay in business. OR, they have some really rich patron who just pays to keep such a NY establishment open. Either option is so very NY. read more

The place you must to visit if you fan of masquerades or just want to try become a new person! Seriously, here you can find all kind of costumes, masks, make up, accessories and decorations. Even you doesn't want to buy anything, you should to come for get a new experience of fun. I like that all of masks you can try, but you cant fit a costumes! This is disappoint, because you never can be sure how a costume looks on you. I bought some stuff for a Halloween here, and found out that employees are very knowledgeable. Thank you, guys! I had the best character on Halloween-party because of your place. read more

This place is truly a Halloween mecca extending from Broadway to Lexington on 11th street. Really an entire damn avenue? And not just an avenue but one that is located on two floors. This place is ginormous. You know a Halloween store means business when you walk in and they have a damn map sitting there for you. And this map was legit as hell with a listing of over 30 categories of specific stuff. If you get confused by the map or just want suggestions the employees are so helpful and asking everyone if they need assistance. They will direct you to props, boots, full bodied costumes, masks, makeup, hooker boots, wigs, or fairy frigging princesses if that's your business. Seriously just tell them what you want to accomplish and someone will be there to help you. Although it gets busy as you approach Halloween because most dumb-asses are waiting until last minute you have to be impressed that they have everything you could ask for in terms of Halloween gear. Oh you want to be a 70's disco person? Well, choose from about 12 different options and tons of accessories. Oh she needs flapper gear but the one that is sort of like a tux but not really (this was a super general explanation we gave) how about this thing right here, sir? YES! YES! YES! that's it. A few things to keep in mind though. 1) Be aware of is if you want to try on a wig you will need a wig cap or they make you purchase one for $3 and 2) lines can get long at certain registers but if you dip away from those you can usually find a much shorter line at a different one either downstairs or at the other end of the store. I only wish I didn't have to make the trek from Boston for this place. Oh and its right by Ippudo so you can also make a pit stop for some amazing ramen while over here. read more

I clearly need to venture out in the neighboring neighborhoods that sit near my neighborhood. Shame on me. This place is humungo. Legit. A friend in BK told me about this place. It had everything. Masks, costumes, gags, props, you name it. I like that this is open year round. It is more of a Halloween themed store but people have masquerades and dress up parties all throughout the year. It's a maze though, but a maze that I welcome. This will be my go to. Affordable and convenient. Win. read more

How is it this store has so few reviews? There's so much to see, so much from which to choose! You can come here to browse or shop or play, Come and be a kid again, put your problems at bay. There are 2 floors of fun; the store takes up one full city block, You could spend all day here, and still not see all the stock. Come alone, or with friends. Or hell, my favorite is to bring a date! Just don't take any pictures, or the staff will hate. There's ghosts and ghouls, and mythical creatures of all sorts, Pirates, priests, policemen, and witches with warts! Slutty, cool, humorous or scary, Within each collection, the assortment will vary. Wigs, hats, masks, and props galore, It's 360 halloween, even shop for décor! There's a proper makeup counter, for stage or for street, Prosthetics and blood, all sort of SFX, its pretty damn neat. They have things that range from cheap to expensive, And rentals for you serious folks, don't get apprehensive! If you're a student and poor, they take that into account, Show them your ID, you'll get a small student discount! Lastly they're open all year long, You have no reason, not to come along. So start preparing yourself for next Halloween! They'll help you in bringing out inner drag queen! read more

Nice place to get unique sunglasses or a random Halloween accessory but I generally find it overpriced on costumes (as I do pretty much any Halloween store). Browsing in here to kill time isn't bad but be aware that you can't take pictures in there. Staff have also been known to ambush you at times but when you are actually in need of help, they tend to be on point & know if they have XYZ item. I view it as more of a place to get ideas for a good Halloween costume since it gets too crowded around Halloween & they never have day after Halloween sales. read more

This store is huge! It extends between 2 avenues and has 2 floors. But in spite of all of that space, on the day before Halloween, every square foot was occupied by someone either looking for a costume or standing in line to purchase a costume. In fact, people were lining up on the street just to enter the store. Madness. All I needed was a simple mask to cover my eyes for a masquerade ball which was surprisingly easy to find amidst the chaos. But in the very long line, I did see some pretty clever costumes, and they offer plenty of elaborate flare for rent like coffins and zombies. If Halloween is your holiday, you have to stop here. Recommend. read more

Halloween Adventure - Costumes Near Me - New York, New York

Buyer Beware. The owner does not care about his customers. I bought something here yesterday and was told that it could be exchanged for something of equal value in the next three days. I specifically asked "Can I exchange this if it's been opened and tried on?" They said "Yes." They usually will just do a "smell test." Great, I thought. I had bought another thing that I was definitely keeping but wasn't sure about this piece. That night I realized I would need to exchange it. The next day I came back and searched the store for something that was exactly the same price that I wanted to exchange it for. When I went to exchange it they said I could not exchange it because it had been opened! When I told the cashier what had been told me yesterday she said it doesn't matter that's our policy. I asked to speak to the manager - same answer. I asked to speak to the owner - same answer. Very dismissive tone. I asked if $20 was worth losing a customer - he just shrugged his shoulders. I understand this is the busiest time of the year but that's the business they are in. It's unfortunate that he would not stand behind his store or what his other employee had told me the day before. Will never be purchasing or visiting from this place again. There are other Halloween stores nearby (I.e Village Party Store on 8th street) read more

Very happy with this year's Halloween costume purchase! This place is HUGE. Two stories PACKED with costumes, masks, accessories, decorations, this is definitely your one-stop shop for all things Halloween. Walked in NOT knowing what I wanted to be, and walked out with a cute costume for $50. Expect to spend $50+ per costume (unless you're purchasing for a child or accessories). I was being super cheap trying to find something less than $50, but was unsuccessful. The staff is really nice and definitely helpful (it's really easy to track down someone.. they're all over the place), but they kept stressing customers NOT to open the packages on their own. Understandable since some customers are careless and tend to damage or stuff the costume back into its package without being considerate. read more

A costume shop, pure and simple here. No refunds, so beware what you buy... all kinds of plastic and molded costumes, with masks, popular sci-fi/fantasy things, nurse/school girl outfits, police costumes, etc. A bit expensive for something you'll wear maybe once or twice, but hey, I guess everyone has an itch to be something different. A couple stories, two entrances, too. Gets very very busy around Halloween... get your costume early. They don't really have sales until after Halloween. read more

REALLY fun and huge store - lots of great costumes, accessories and some really beautiful items like the high end masks. I went with a performer who needed a mask for a concert and we had a huge selection to choose from. The employees are a little ghetto and some are a little obnoxious. I overheard (hard not to since she was loud) one employee telling some people "No photos of the merchandise, once more and you're out of here." I looked for sign on the way out but didn't see any notice. Thankfully I didn't try to take photos. read more

This store is sooo cool. It's huge inside. And it's decorated like a dungeon in some parts of the store. The staff are dressed in black and have strange make-up...but they're all very nice. They have, among other things, a surprisingly wide selection of pirate hats. This is the place to go for all your Halloween needs. They've got costumes for pets!! read more

Rent or buy, this place really does have it all. It spans the length of the block (from 4th ave to Broadway), and has everything from costumes, latex, face paints, shoes, decorations... you name it, they got it. If they don't have it, they'll GET it. The service is great and the staff is knowledgeable. They helped me and my 3 friends find the Wizard of Oz costumes to run a road rally from NYC to Detroit. With all the Halloween pop-up shops in NYC around October time, this place still has my loyalty and patronage. You guys rule! read more

Halloween in January?! Finally! No matter the time of year, if you are looking for a costume, you can find something at Halloween Adventure. There is a wide variety of costumes in all price ranges and touching on many different themes. I went to a costume party at the end of April and ended up buying a costume here just a few hours before the party. Found something decent, in an appropriate price range for something I only planned on wearing once, and got it. The staff was very helpful. I do wish there was a bit more variety for each "theme" but if you aren't too specific with what costume you are looking for, you will definitely have more than enough options here. read more

This is the store to visit when I'm New York City. With an entrance on Broadway and a store taking the entire block all the way to 4th Ave, plus a basement, if you don't find it there, you won't find it anywhere. The employees are usually very stylish and knowledgeable, but can be very cold and limit rude. However, they are efficient and know their thing. This store carries adults and children costumes, makeup, wigs, props, statues, and some of their costumes are so good, you could wear them on a daily basis. Of course the prices are higher than online purchases, but you get to take them home right there and then. If you're clueless about Halloween, go there and let your mind be blown. Wonder around and discover the crazy and exciting world of coplay and costume parties. read more

Even if your creative juices are running low, rest assured you'll have plenty to work with as you peruse aisle after aisle of costumes and accessories. Though I'd already settled with an idea for a costume, I wasn't committed to whether or not I should rock a mask, tiara, or both. It didn't help that there are so many other fun costumes to choose from, you could easily get detracted from said goal. You'll find the run of the mill costumes here, from creepy clowns to seductive superheroes, Halloween Adventure delivers! What sets them apart are their extensive selection of accessories: the hats and masks alone are worth the trip. Pro tip: If you're feeling fancy, they carry some very flashy tiaras and exquisite mardi gras masks. You'll look like the diva you are :) The only caveat is their store policy remains: no refunds or exchanges. If you're pressed for time and in need to put together a costume within 24 hours, you've found the right spot. And when in doubt, phone a friend or ask any of the friendly staff :) read more

If I could give this place NO STARS I would have! My visit starts with "you can't pick that costume because your tits will never fit" from a "male worker". He then had the audacity to tell my mom to be a mom & tell me that I shouldn't pick the costume that I wanted. MIND YOU I'M 26! He then went on to talk about how he knows womans bodies because he has plus size models.. FYI I'm NOT plus size! Nor Do I Give 2 Flying F**ks What You Think Of What I Should Wear or My Body Type! He sends some lady to bring me a costume in what he "thinks" is my size. The costume was way to big for me & HIDEOUS!!! At this point I am so livid that I just want to leave, but my mom convinces me to stay and look around. I look around & find another possible option & then I'm told that since I choose a costume thats less than $100 that I cant try it on. Then another worker tells me that I should go to another Halloween Store instead. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE OR COME HERE EVER AGAIN, UNLESS I GET A RESPONSE THAT THE JACKASS IN NO LONGER A MEMBER OF STAFF! read more

I love my new costume. I'm dressing up for Halloween as a Yelp Elite member. I'm going to march into bars wearing my totally cool hoodie, demanding free cocktails and hors d'vers. I won't go anywhere unless it's been reviewed and will proudly display a pin representing the 1,039 "Funny" votes I've received. My diet consists of Pabst Blue Ribbon, Halal Carts, and ethnic foods I can't pronounce. I can STILL look cool wearing shades indoors. So what do I need Halloween Adventure Shop for? Just an extra large jockstrap. Apparently, Yelp Elite members are incredibly well-endowed. What a useless review. read more

I had a very big deal-breaker experience with this store; I stepped in to browse and at the front counter they had several free cards and flyers inviting people to clubs and events. I stuck one in my pocket. When I left the store, a guy from Halloween Adventure followed me and demanded that I open my bag and show him what I had taken. I showed him the card, and was pretty angry that they treat their customers like common criminals. As a matter of fact, I worked retail for several years, and despise shoplifters as much as they do. I'm aware when you're multi-tasking and watching things out of the corner of your eye you may think you see things you really don't, but you will lose customers by doing this too often. This experience happened a few years ago, and pretty much soured me on this store that I cross the street to avoid them ever since. read more

If you know anything about me, you know I love Halloween. I love costumes, dressing up and any excuses to do so. This is one more reason I love living in San Francisco. Walking into this store in New York City made me think I ascended to heaven. And it made me insanely jealous. There are a number of good costume stores in San Francisco. But this place is AMAZING. All different styles of costumes, two floors, items ranging from detailed to simple and all reasonably priced for what they are. Nothing has made me more lamentable about being unemployed than not being able too afford to buy some of the wonderful costumes and accessories here. If you want a costume, and know just what you want, go here. If you don't know what you want and need ideas, go here. Want something scary? Movie themed? Robot like? Monster like? Slutty? Do you want to re-enact the masquerade theme from Labyrinth? Go here. If you're visiting New York and are anywhere near the area, come here. You'll have a costumegasm. read more

Final sale on everything. You know why? They don't want you to be able to return overpriced crappy poorly sewn made shit costumes. This is my second Halloween coming here. The first time the costume was shit but I thought they might be able to redeem themselves. BUT NO. A pair of gloves that came with my costume looked like they were sewn by a blind child, HEY IT PROBABLY WAS. While there are plenty of associates walking around asking if anyone needs help, no one really seems like they know what they're doing.Some of them were so rude by first completely dismissing my questions by saying oh yeah I'll check and then never answering even though I asked again or by being completely rude to other sales people. Two sales people got into a weird angry exchange and I was standing there awkwardly. BUT BESIDES all the rudeness, the costumes are complete shit don't come here unless you want to be ripped off. read more
