This place is what terrors and nightmares are made of. As somebody who loves horror, movies, and scary movies, this place is amazing. I also love that it has some really cool photo options in the store and of course they have my favorite, Zoltar. There are so many local vendors that have really unique terror themed items. I like the themed rooms as well. There's a lot of things to look at around every corner. The museum is a cool touch as well. And if you spend $15 you get free admission to the museum. Yesterday, it was cool to see ghost face sitting on a bench. I definitely took some pictures with my favorite scary movie villain. This wasn't my first time but I will definitely be back. read more

Terror Trader - Costumes Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

I've visited terror trader quite a bit, today we went for my birthday and dare I say they never seize to amaze me. There's many little booths with different kick knacks for everyone I've been building my spooky jewelry collection little by little from terror trader. But now they've added an amazing new museum with tons of historical pieces. I've visited "haunted" museums with oddities that are a quick walk through and you feel scammed of your money but the new one at terror trader has not only oddities but real pieces of history from torture machines used in medieval times! It really is worth the money and if you spend $15 it's a free entrance which is an amazing deal! Everyone is super friendly in the store and will stop for a nice chat! I definitely recommend the visit. read more

A hidden gem, Terror Trader is such a unique place! I've never seen such a selection of horror themed items. Everything you can imagine, they've got... AND MORE! Imagine Spirit Halloween on steroids. The store is separated into different sections that are run by different vendors. They also have rooms in the back like the room of oddities with creepy antique dolls and other weird items. There is also a rotating photo set that people can take pictures on and use the props! This time around they had The Saw movie set and it looked exactly like the movie. So cool!! One of the vendors in the shop offered different themed and surprise boo buckets and I ended up purchasing one for a gift. I think the value for most of these items is fair and priced right. Melda was super cool and told me about all of the events they put on, including the movie night they host at the Pollack Cinemas. Everyone working was really nice and friendly. I cannot wait to come back! read more

This spot is great for all horror lovers & spooky gals! There is so much to see and it is fantastic that you can shop from a variety of local small artists all within one store. Everything in the store was well organized & each local seller had their own little section that featured their products. You'll find a large range of products from jewelry, to clothing and large pieces like replicas, masks and more. There is also a room with a mini museum of oddities, plus various full sized props on display. Prices vary from vendor to vendor, but over all the prices are pretty decent. There is a little something for everyone! The staff were friendly and everything is organized well. All of the staff were friendly when we were there, the store was easy to navigate. There were one or two small rooms that felt a little stuffy if too many people were in it at once, otherwise the store has plenty of space to roam around and look at everything. The life sized props and the life sized coffin in one of the smaller rooms make for some great free photo opportunities! If you are in the area you should stop by to check out Terror Trader then head across the street to Spookys Swirls for some horror themed baked treats. read more

None of the good stuff is for sale? What is it? Just a place for the owner to show off his ego? Yeah, you cant have this displayed bust but here, have some homemade junk instead. Pass. Found the good stuff at another place. They got a lot of my money. Going back to spend more too. read more

I'm from California and we were going out to Arizona for a horror convention and my feed showed me this awesome place so one of the days while we were out there we decided to take a drive to Chandler Arizona, which was about 30 minutes from where we were and it was so worth it! We got there right when it was opening before I realized it there was a ton of people coming in at the same time. I absolutely loved this store the interactive rooms that they had all of the fun and unique items to buy the oddities the dolls, the paintings, the pictures, socks, and everything that you think was in this store that was horror themed . I was able to find Chucky Monster High doll that my daughter has been wanting forever and it was such a good price. I also bought a few T-shirts. I bought a few prints a coloring book a few witchy trinkets. I absolutely love this place. It was so worth it. I'm glad I had the opportunity to go. People working there were still friendly and amazing read more

Was a long time customer of this business but no more after I've seen how they use AI. They also treat their customers terribly when they point it out. It's a slap in the face after supporting them. Take your business elsewhere. read more

If I could give this place 100 stars I would, I really can't say enough good things about this place. It's my happy place and EVERYTHING in the store is unique fun I wish I had enough money to buy the whole store.

My co workers talk about this shop all the time and boast about how cool and spooky it is so I decided to finally make a visit. I brought my sister along and we were quickly greeted by loud music and some spooky looking monsters. We took our time to look at everything and we spent about an hour total. When we arrived it was fairly empty but by the time we left, it was busy. The artifact / display room gave me chills and for some reason I felt super "heavy" and light headed so I quickly walked out. I believe it said that everything that's there has a spirit attached to it or something like that... HEHE (nervous chuckle) We ended up buying a few items. My sister bought herself a mood ring and a ghost patch. I bought some dog treats, a cute little ghost, and some stickers. Overall we had an interesting time and will be back! If you are into spooky horror stuff, definitely check them out! read more

Calling all Halloween lovers! This incredibly unique & spooky novelty store is open all year round, catering to aficionados of all things dark, eerie & supernatural. Once you step foot into this location, you're immediately enthralled by the distinctive set ups and unearthly decor they have posted all around. Many items listed for sale throughout the store are one of kind handmade creations made by local artists & vendors from around the valley. Everything from jewelry, trinkets, collectibles, creepy home decor, and much more. Make your way to "The Oddities" back room & step inside if you dare! This dark & eerie room is filled with an array of creepy vintage dolls, true historic tales, even real human & animal remains. Very unique and must see items. Great people working the counter, & prices can be a bit on the higher side, but you're paying for unique & handcrafted items, so that kind of expected. Make sure to follow their social media to stay in the loop, as they hold many fun events throughout the year. read more

My favorite store in Arizona! There's new stuff everytime I come here which is great! They have curated horror themed vendors that all sell unique and cool items ranging from homemade items to collectibles. I love the photo ops they have as well as the oddities section which is filled with paranormal items. All the workers and the vendors I've talked to are the nicest people and must really love what they do! I always have a great conversation with them. They also host events like their weekly spook-o-Rama movie night at the nearby cinema which is only $10! I recommend this store to all locals and visitors, it's a can't miss! read more

We accidentally found this awesome shop when we went to AYCE sushi near by. The reviews for this place are great, and I can see why. It's such a cool horror themed store that is fun to visit, even when it's not Halloween. This place is not a Spirit Halloween store!!! It's a creative and unique shop that specializes in horror marketplace items, and showcases 70 local artists and vendors! Per their website, Terror Trader is ARIZONA'S ONLY YEAR-ROUND HORROR MARKETPLACE, FILLED WITH DARK ANTIQUES AND COLLECTABLES. They have really creative photo op areas to showcase the bizarre and creepy! I enjoyed this place way more than I expected. I'll definitely be back. read more

I used to love going to Terror Trader, but now I know I will never support their business again, and I will encourage everyone I know to never give their business to this company as well. A massive portion of their store is comprised of art from local artists and yet they insist on using generative AI slop in just about every social media post on all their accounts. As an artist myself, and most importantly a human, this is a massive slap in the face, and just goes to show their utter disrespect for the community they pretend to care about, but really just pillage for business. Disgusting anti-art, anti-human behavior, and I will do everything in my power to make sure this is known to all who consider visiting this store. They should be disappointed in themselves. read more

This shop is so freaking cool!! If you love anything horror, this is the ship for you. There is literally so much to look at, all really cool stuff that you can buy. I've been looking for the Chucky x Hello Kitty dolls everywhere and this shop had it!! You can definitely spend over an hour in this store. There are a few weird items like taxidermy and plugs, just so you are not caught off guard, lol. Don't forget to check the bonus rooms in the back!! read more

Terror Trader was such a cool spot to checkout. After we checked out a bakery across the street we headed over here. It's a really fun and unique store. They have lots of things to checkout and even a back room with haunted items! Grab some sage on the way home! Lol my teens found some posters, socks and trinkets we bought. They had some wet specimens which were done well. Overall, a unique spooky spot to checkout. Even if it's not your thing highly recommend to stop into this small business! read more

If you love horror, THIS is your place!! I've been coming here ever since they opened 3 years ago. Jason and Gina are the owners and are great people! Always friendly and willing to help out. Located at Alma School and Elliot, by the Fry's food store. Filled with TONS of local vendor merchandise... a lot of it handmade by extremely creative artists. Rooms with photo ops and paranormal activities that you may never even know about! They have their own podcast where they bring guest speakers on to talk about many different things, including paranormal events that have occurred. T-shirts, masks, home decor, pet collars, knickknacks, movies, posters and accessories. Something to find for any horror enthusiast! read more

Terror Trader - Photo op - Costumes Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Such a cool store! It's almost a museum lol There's retro merch as well as some fresh takes on classic horror. Lots of cool oddities too! Local artists bring a fresh vibe but they don't look into their artists' backgrounds very well; some of them have their NSFW contact info(IG, FB, etc) available on the front of their displayed stands, some others are actively supporting known terror organizations. Big oof. read more

I walked in with very low expectations so I did not disappoint myself, but OMGGG THIS IS THE COOLEST PLACE FOR HORROR, LOVING FANS THIS IS THE COOLEST STORE I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

Visited Terror Trader while having a friends adventure day. Stopped in unexpected and can say we spent a good 30-45 minutes walking around admiring displays and all the "terror" items for sale. From what I heard, most, if not all items sold here are from individual vendors. You can find anything from masks to stickers to posters, movies, plushies, spooky dolls, and so much more! Though I did not have much interaction with the staff, they seemed friendly and welcoming. I look forward to another random visit sometime, gotta see if anything new catches my attention. read more

This has got to be the coolest store I have ever accidentally stumbled upon. I was meeting a friend for lunch at a nearby restaurant and got there a little early. I decided to walk around in the plaza to kill time and saw a sign that said, "Horror Marketplace. Open Year Round." Curiosity intrigued. Not only do I love Halloween and spooky things, I also make short films. The last two I've made have been thriller/horrors, so I'm always looking for places to get cool props. I was a little nervous to walk in because I couldn't see anything through the store windows. But I opened the door and...wow! EVERY nook and cranny is stuffed with so many unique items. From larger-than-life figures, detailed masks, jarred specimens, horror-inspired clothing, creepy dolls, patches, pins, and SOOOO much more...there is something that will catch your eye at every single corner. I also thought it was cool that they had some interactive photo opportunities in the store! If you're a horror fanatic or love Halloween and miss having spooky stores to visit throughout the year, come here!! There is so much to look at and it really feels like you stepped into another (spooky) world! read more

If you are a horror nerd, this is your place! What a hidden gem read more

Halloween!!!!! This store is amazing. Super kitschy, fun-filled cult classic wonder shoppe with all things gruesome, scary, and rad. They played good music (Ramones/ Blur etc) and each room had even cooler stuff in it. It's a little dank with that "musician practice space carpet smell" but it's filled with all things magical and witchy. Staff is very courteous and this is bound to get you in the spirit for the holidays. Go get your spook on and visit today! read more

Such a cool and unique place for all things horror! It's definitely a one in a kind shop. Very easy to find, it's pretty big on the inside and there's just so much to look at and experience. From all the cool collectibles you can purchase to the more museum like feel you get with the on display pieces they have, it's easy to spend hours in here! They support small local artists as well and will have sections threw out the shop with artists instagrams and then their pieces of art for sale. The staff of course are always so friendly and upbeat. They love talking to the customers and really make you feel welcomed. Overall, recommend anyone to give Terror Trader a stop by to experience the true horror and also give a small local business some love! read more

Like any small shop there are pros and cons. Business wise the only con is that they're not open 7 days a week, it's absurd they want days off! Especially Monday and Tuesday. Rude! Pros: they're Halloween and all things creepy all year long!!! Cannot go wrong with that! Personally I absolutely love this store! I've never walked in and not found something I just had to have. This place is a blast and my must stop shop. We joke and call it my happy place. Having a bad day? Pop in and let the incredible staff turn the day around. Jason and Gina are about as nice as they come. Justin has grown on us haha I kid he's a sweetheart too, but you didn't hear that from me! The coolest thing is that they have photo ops! It changes every so often and the thought that goes into them is nothing shy of awesome! No detail goes left undone. They're quite the conversation pieces. Make sure you are following them on social media! They do in person events and they're a party. So many amazing vendors and it's quite the awesome community. Thanks guys for giving the state of Arizona a cool hang out, events to mingle and for just being rad people! Next stop total world domination. read more

Hands down THE coolest store I've been to! I made a quick trip over while I was in Phoenix and wanted to buy EVERYTHING!

I had so much fun looking through everything. The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly, and informative.
