We’ve got Spirit, yes we do... in fact, we’ve got three of the chain Halloween stores in Indy city limits. But anyone’s who’s looking for a standout costume knows that these big box stores just won’t cut it — so we recommend these locally-owned costume shops instead.

Monsterz Inc.
You may recognize the owner of this shop, Jess West, as a contestant on Hulu’s “Dress My Tour,” a reality competition show that debuted in July 2024. Visit during the day for a browse through her incredible creations, or come back at night for spooky + fun events like “scaraoke,” magic shows, and disco dungeon yoga.

Don’t forget to pick out a costume for your pup too.

Lynn’s Halloween Town
This family-owned shop gets bigger every year, and its prices are some of the lowest around. Pro tip: When it’s not Halloween season, it also sells fireworks.

Marion Community School of the Arts
Calling all roadtrippers: Halfway to Fort Wayne you can find this full-service theatrical rental shop. Its inventory includes everything from regency era gowns to disco suits to “Frozen” costumes. Pro tip: You’ll need to contact the shop ahead of time for rental information, as it doesn’t have regular walk-in hours.
