Where to find Halloween costumes and décor in Toronto
For many, the Halloween season is the most important celebration of the entire year and as such, Toronto’s costume and décor game is decidedly strong. So you best be ready. Looking for the perfect piece to complete your guise (or just a last-minute costume), or keen on decking out your spot with everything from fake spider webs to animatronic zombies? Check out these spooky spots for all your Halloween needs.
It's My Party
2208 Danforth Ave, Toronto, ON M4C 1K3This local spot defies party supply and Halloween chains, with one of the biggest selections of party gear and costume items in the city. The Danforth store is an independent, Toronto-born emporium that’s been slinging uber-spooky stock for over a decade. Need a Viennese mask, a pair of Steam Punk goggles, or, looking for the full getup at the last minute? Mosey on over to this east-end store. Plus, if you’re out to confidently claim spookiest house on the block status, It’s My Party also has the full haunted house spectrum for all your décor needs.
Malabar
2440A Dufferin St, Main, York, ON M6E 3T1If you’re looking to truly out-Halloween your pals this year, knock ‘em dead with a specialty costume from this local dress-up shop. Try on one of the rentals on offer (the Star Wars Rubies Jawa costume ticks off both the Utterly Terrifying box and the Truly Amazing Movie Reference box). If you’ve searched absolutely everywhere for a must-have costume or detail (because we’ve all been in the position of desperately seeking that quintessential unicorn headpiece, right?), this spot is your best bet for finding it. Visit their website to find out what goodies they’ve got in-store.
Spirit Halloween
25 Woodstream Blvd, Woodbridge, ON L4L 7Y8Looking for a sexy Red Riding Hood getup, or maybe a three-headed animatronic bat monster for your front stoop? Whichever the case, and with locations across the GTA, this Halloween superstore is a one-stop-shop for everything from fake limbs to mini chocolate bars. They also boast a superior selection of pumpkin carving kits, for an easy family activity during the holiday season.
Candy's Costume Shop
685 Mount Pleasant Rd, Toronto, ON M4S 2N2If your DIY mermaid costume went a little awry this year (happens to the best of us), head to the experts at this Mount Pleasant costumier. This is the ideal spot if you’re in search of a Halloween outfit that will inspire envy from all your pals. Opt to deck yourself out entirely in the spot’s vast stock of movie characters, historical figures, spooky archetypes and more (both for purchase and rental), or find that must-have costume detail.
Value Village
1319 Bloor St W, Toronto, ON M6H 1P3Not only will your neighbourhood Value Village bring in a heap of pleasantly affordable costume gear and accessories (think: pirate hats, an array of wigs, plastic swords, and makeup kits fit for a B-horror movie), it’s also the spot to DIY your costume for less. Need a wedding dress for your Zombie Bride getup, or an oversized blazer for your Frankenstein? Look no further, because it’s shockingly easy to create disguises from the racks and racks of used clothing and accessories at this sprawling second-hand warehouse.
Party City Canada Inc
1225 Finch Ave W, North York, ON M3J 2E8Get in the holiday spirit by scanning the aisles and aisles of festive Halloween décor, accessories, and virtually any costume your mind could imagine at this chain party supplies store with locations across the GTA. If you’re looking for that quintessential mechanical werewolf, or feel like you want to deck out your baby in a sushi costume, this is the spot to do it. Plus, if you’re hosting a Halloween fete and suddenly understand the necessity of a set of skull-shaped cocktail glasses, this sprawling spot can help with that, too.
