Catman KISS Wig

In the day of hardcore rock bands, there was one that was iconic. Not simply for its fireworks, flame spurts, blood spitting, or other pyrotechnics. No, KISS was known for their look.We're talking the iconic black and white make-up. Long red tongues. The big black hair. The studded, sparkly outfits. KISS was hard rock at its finest.So if you're trying to pass off for part of the band, some extreme make-up is a must. Also, you should get your hands on the proper bling... and some gnarly hair. Our Catman KISS Wig is just what you need if you're aiming to mimic KISS' famous drummer, Peter Kriss, The Catman. It's 100 percent synthetic, styled, and black as the night. Warning: may cause furious head-banging.
Plus Size Vintage Strongman Costume for Men
1316371895$64.99
Too StrongStrongman is more than a title; it’s a lifestyle. What does it take to live life like one? Well, first, consuming a lot of raw eggs and spinach right away in the morning. The more the better, honestly. Next, some form of weightlifting is a must to convert all those yolks into biceps or whatever. Finally, use your new muscles to carefully sculpt the proper facial hair: most likely a thick mustache that curls up like horns.Design & DetailsPerfect for a circus-themed event or Halloween party, our exclusive Plus Size Mens Vintage Strongman costume will fit all your muscles and gain you instant respect in gyms around the world, we think. The tatted leggings and sleeves will at least convey your pain tolerance, which we certainly respect. The best part of all is that the costume is part of our Made By Us collection, which means each is made by our in-house designers. You’ll be able to worry more about planning your grandiose displays of physical dominance rather than worrying about the quality of the belt. Pair the ensemble with a thick black mustache, wig, and barbell, and you'll haunt the dreams of scrawny dudes everywhere.Sideshow StyleToday’s 24-hour gyms have nothing on the strongmen stomping grounds of the past. Getting buff these days seems a tad boring compared to, say, improving grip by lifting heavy books one finger at a time. Photographic evidence shows a concerning affinity for medicine balls, too. If only we could get our hands on their regimens… How they chose to show off said muscles is much more a matter of public record. Like swinging three kegs of beer by their neck or lifting a 2,800 lb. anchor from some crowded bay. We, uh, hope they practiced good posture because our backs hurt just writing that sentence. Ouch.
Adult Disco Sensation Dress Costume
1265312098$44.99
You’ve heard a number of times that we need to live in the now… live for the future… let go of the past… and many other idioms that speak of the ages of yesteryear being long behind us and holding us back from becoming who we might potentially be. The thing is… following that advice doesn’t seem to be making a clear and positive change in the present world, either! How are we to know that all this “present-living” is really having any impact at all if nothing seems to be changing!?That’s why it’s crucial to ignore every one of those mantras and, instead, dive right back into the past where things made a heck of a lot more sense and the fashion ensured that we’d plant ourselves firmly into memory and last well into the future. That’s the real path to immortality, no doubt! People want to say, “Disco is dead!” but, if that were the truth, people wouldn’t need to keep trying to convince everyone of it, now would they!? Would they!? Ha!You can be the last lady laughing, too, and prove that disco is not only the lessons of the past but also remains as the style of the future with this Women’s Disco Sensation Dress. Made of comfortable polyester—what else for the 70s!—this dress has a sweetheart top and is perfectly form fitting. The outrageous pattern of color on the outside of the dress is psychedelic and made even better with the glinting of silver sequins. Finish off the look with the matching headband and you’ll be transported right back into the grooviest of decades and ready to boogie oogie oogie all night.

Distressed Arm Warmer
1228469214$13.99
Oftentimes, when you see a zombie going about their business, they are wearing tattered and torn up clothes. This started out as just a natural effect of wandering around outside and being constantly exposed to the elements. But, soon enough, it became more of a fashion trend, and zombies started tearing up their clothes to look like other, cooler zombies. Crazy, eh?? This "zombie-chic" style has gotten so huge that even pre-deceased zombies are trying to look like them. If you're wanting to join the horde of undead fashionistas yourself, try these Distressed Arm Warmers on for size. These hole-riddled glovelettes make a good addition to any zombie's wardrobe, and can also be added to darker themed outfits for a sexy goth vibe. They are the perfect accessory for looking like a stylish reanimated corpse, without having to slice up a perfectly good pair of arm warmers!
Women's Car Hop Costume
1239301475$39.99
Have you ever pulled up to a drive-through, got your burger, and wondered where all the charm of diner eating got off to? Sure, that burger is greasy and delicious. That amazing combination of French fries and ice cream is still amazing. But wouldn't it be great to be surrounded by guys with slicked-back hair and girls in sweater sets while you're chowing down on a red vinyl bar stool. Most people haven't encountered that true diner experience. Those original diners had the red vinyl seating, chrome trim on the tables and counter, and of course a soda bar. It was a place to meet whoever you were going steady with or somewhere to gossip with your bestie, Betty Sue, choosing tunes off the jukebox. Then things started to get even more exciting when people started bringing those weekend drives to the diner and the drive in was born. So much more exciting than the sad drive-throughs of today, the drive in served all the classics but on a tray that would hook onto your open window. It didn't make for the neatest eating but everyone was in the same boat, or car, whatever. The car hop was one of the coolest jobs a teen could get in the 50s. These waiters and waitresses brought out the goods to the waiting cars, sometimes on roller skates to make service faster. We can't claim that the uniform was the reason, but it had to factor in somewhere there. This ensemble has the classic red and white striped pattern with a crisp white apron, collar, and of course that sassy hat. Pair this with a pair of bobby socks and you're ready for your school's rendition of Bye Bye Birdie or maybe you'll start your own soda shop! Go for it, about time the world starts taking their fast food slow again.

Grease Gym Danny Costume
1213246575$34.99

This is very much a classic vintage gym uniform from the 1950s, but once you put on the bobby socks and the wig (both not included) then you'll look and feel athletic and hopefully you'll win the affection of your sweetheart, Sandy. Who knows, maybe, just maybe, she'll even say "yes" to going to the prom with you!

Neon Flip Up Glasses

Plus Size Dolled Up Flapper Women's Costume
1229113601$49.99
Going for GlamWe humans never forget about the most glamorous eras of the past. For instance, Cleopatra wouldn't have gone down in history if she had snuck into a palace to see Caeser in a rug while wearing a t-shirt. We remember her for her amazing eye makeup, jaw-dropping wig, and sheer dress with gold trim. And hundreds of years later, the era of Versailles and Marie Antionette stands out in a long line of corsets, silk stockings, and gigantic wigs. The next era on the list, and perhaps the most memorable, is the roaring twenties. There's not one queen that stands out, it's a whole swell of fashionable lady royals. Everyone is rocking perfectly waved bobs, sparkly dresses, and lush boas. They were setting the bar high for a modern era of fashion. Are you ready to channel this glamorous era? Slip into this Dolled Up Flapper Costume and you'll be an icon of history!Details & DesignThis black and gold gown will make you feel ready for those stand-out roaring twenties parties. Made by Us, this costume combines glamour and quality for a pick you can be proud of. Zipping up the back, the gold and black Chevron pattern is lush with sequins. At the hem, the zig-zagging hemline has a long fringe that moves with you as you dance the Charleston. A gold sequined headband, accented with a feather, tops the whole thing off. Twenty-twenty VisionNow that we're back in the twenties, it's a whole lot of fun to look back on all the fashions of the last hundred years. While the glam rock of the 1980s might have given the twenties a run for glam game glory, it's obvious that the roaring twenties at the beginning of the last century would always be the most luxurious of the 20th century!
Flower Power Purse for Women
1236095732$19.99
Taking (Wood)stock Imagine this situation: You're ready to rock out a legendary outdoor festival. You're decked out in your best maxi dress, with your round sunglasses poised on your makeup-free face. Your bare feet feel the soft mud beneath you. But wait, you need cash to buy your favorite band's new record!

A swish of fringe here, a sparkle catching the light there, a pretty pop of red lips against an otherwise dark speakeasy.

Women's Radical Eighties Costume
1213237030$39.99
Fresh Style SeshIt's hard to explain the 80s to those who weren't there. What a time! The music, the energy, the politics, and of course...the fashion! If you were a child of the eighties, you may sometimes find yourself saying things to young people today, like, "I was around the first time scrunchies were in fashion!" Or, "Yeah, my generation invented that off-the-shoulder look." But the great thing about this Women's Radical Eighties Costume is that anyone can enjoy the style of the best-ever style era, instantly. In it, you can imagine you're a fancy socialite heading to a happening party, or just a gal going about her business, waiting for her fave music video to air on MTV. Just make sure you leave your cell phone at home...they weren't around in the 80s, and scrolling on yours will totally ruin your authentic look!Product DetailsThis costume is all the rage! It hits so many key style markers of the times. It includes a pullover midriff top with off-the-shoulder straps and bold floral print. The bright pink skirt is super high-waisted, and the white faux-patent belt shines at the top. The satin hair bow plays perfectly against your side pony (duh!), and attaches via a barrette. Accessorize with scrunchies, slap bracelets, jelly shoes, or any other 80s gems you can dream up!Long Live the 80s!It doesn't matter when you were born, this costume says a lot about your personal love for the 1980s. And if there is anything the newest generation of acid-wash jean wearers and scrunchie enthusiasts have taught us, the 80s are here to stay for good!
Adult Sock Hop Costume
1265312524$29.99
What's black and white and red all over? Okay, you've heard that one. But what's black and white and way more fun to wear than a newspaper or a zebra with the chickenpox? This Adult Sock Hop Costume!In fact, it's even more fun to wear than most actual clothing, because few garments have the good old-fashioned appeal of a 1950s-style poodle skirt. Where did poodle skirts come from? Why did they ever go out of style? We're sure that we could find some perfectly reasonable answers to these questions, but we doubt they'd compare to the ineffable charm of a fancy pink dog on a classic black background.And we're also sure the truth would pale in comparison to the crazy ideas our imaginations have supplied. Like what if poodle skirts were brought to Earth by aliens who mistakenly thought that dogs were the dominant species on the planet, and that humans were only allowed to wear clothing approved by their canine masters? Plot twist: what if the aliens weren't really mistaken about which species is truly dominant? Think about it.Or don't, since this great-looking retro combo takes all the guesswork out of your attire. It's easy, inexpensive, and instantly recognizable. That makes it kind of a no-brainer! Now you can focus on the really tough decisions, like what flavor of malt you're going to order, and which song you should put on the jukebox!
Plus Size Black Jazz Flapper Costume for Women
1213241104$39.99
Zam Gabam! There's nothing like a flapper costume to make you wish you had a bigger vocabulary of authentic Jazz Age slang. And a red-hot exclusive like our Plus Size Black Jazz Flapper Costume will pretty much have you making up words that sound like distant echoes of the Roaring Twenties! Or at least that's how it was for us, ever since the moment we saw what a bob-smapulous great job we had done on this smoking outfit!Mom scott wontoozle! It actually feels like we're trapped in the kind of wacky poem Lewis Carroll would have written if he'd been born a few decades later. And that would be copacetic, but this outfit has us so fired up that we can no longer tell a real word like 'sockdollager' from one of these crazy phrases that keep popping into our heads, like yim yam yanskippy! Please tell us that we're not the only ones gripped by the throwback appeal of this sensational fringed dress and that flaptastic hat on top!People tried to warn us about crossing our eyes and getting them stuck, but nobody gave us the slightest warning that designing a bertrescent sequined costume could go to our heads like this. So while you're out on the town, trisquilating the evening away in this glittering dress with some sparkling conversation, spare a kind thought for your poor pals back here at HalloweenCostumes. We might still be here, fribulously trying to put our lexicon back in order!

Women's Charleston Flapper Costume
1213245795$49.99
What's your signature dance move? Are you a bobber, someone who mostly nods with various degrees of intensity? May you're more of wacky inflatable dancer type, someone who loses control of their arms as soon as the beat hits them. We all have our go-to moves but do we really know what we're doing on the dance floor these days? There are people who spastically take up all the room while the rest of us stand around trying to look cool. Whatever happened to official dances that we could dance together?When the waltz came around everyone thought it was scandalous (leave it to the Victorians to find the waltz scandalous). Apparently, courtly elders frowned on the waltz because it required two people to dance close together. Yikes. If only those old guys knew that it wouldn't be long until young ladies would start throwing away their corsets and raising their hemlines.Talk about perfect timing. As women's fashion was changing, so was music. Jazz had been developing in Harlem since the turn of the century and by the 20s jazz and the notable dance craze, The Charleston, was ready to blast into mainstream culture. If you were making your entrance at a fancy roaring 20s party you'd be all the rage in this outfit. The dropped waist with its pleated crepe skirt maintains a slim figure while allowing for those wild dance moves. You've got the faux fur caplet, fingerless lace gloves, and headband, now all you need are the dance moves. Now you're going to know your signature dance move, it's the flapper!

Plus Size Roaring 20's Flapper Costume for Women
1213242277$49.99
If you're back in the swanky days of the 1920's, would you rather be "the bee's knees" or "the cat's pajamas"? It sounds like a silly question, but anybody who's anybody knows it's serious business, and if you pick wrong, you could wind up being a real wet blanket. We say, why no be both??

And the Roaring 20's had tons of those! Just one look at some fella in a ritzy suit driving an old Caddy, or a classy flapper doing the Charleston in a lacy, shimmering dress, is enough to make us long for the days of speakeasies, trolley cars, and getting to shout things like "Horsefeathers!" and "Applesauce!" when you get mad.

Womens Disco Diva Costume
1302364709$44.99
Ring the BellsThe original bell bottoms were not invented in the 1970s like most people think. That was an attempt at stealing the awesome style from the early Americans in New England, and it would have worked were it not for the wily investigations of our journalists. What they discovered was almost too amazing to believe!They found that the original bell bottoms were actually made with real, several hundred-pound bells. In fact, the liberty bell was once attached to a pair that was worn by George Washington himself in some of the early battles of the Revolutionary War. It was cracked when he busted a move so sweet that the English were forced to back all the way off the dance floor, back to Boston. Well, it’s either that, or our investigative journalist Dave has some explaining to do…FunkaliciousIn any case, this Women’s Disco Diva Costume pays homage to the clothing of the funkiest time in history in style.

Vinyl Record Purse
1299966921$11.99
Setting the Record StraightWe often think of the fifties as a quiet time, but that's not quite right. Teens in the fifties spent many of their weekends heading to dances, grooving to loud music.

With rock and roll artists like Little Richard and songs like Yakety Yak fresh on the scene, you can imagine that it would be hard to keep your feet on the ground. No wonder why girls wore poodle skirts, perfect for swing dancing! Are you ready to put together your sock hop costume?

Plus Size Vintage Combat Cutie for Women
1213246025$44.99
Let's Hear it for Hepburn!Is there anything better than watching vintage movies? The damsels in those movies could get away with some seriously dramatic moves. Slinking into the room while wrapped in a fur just doesn't seem at home in blockbusters anymore. And when female characters get bad news, they almost never faint either. Of course, we're glad that female characters have come along and become stronger and more sensible. But it's so much fun to revisit those films. What we need to do is take on that 30's and 40's persona from a strong female perspective. Become a smart Army general with a trans-Atlantic accent, stunning retro style, and maybe throw in a little cat-eye as well. While we wouldn't suggest plucking your eyebrows as much as those actresses did back in the day, we're pretty sure you'll do a fabulous job donning this retro style, dahling!Design & DetailsThis lovely Made by Us, fit and flare dress is an instant sassy hit. The army green look has gold buttons securing down the front as well as gold buttons on the button flaps and collar. A sash ties around the waist, slipping through belt loops. You'll find the little details like the embroidered gold stars and faux pockets add plenty of charm to your look. Topped off with a jaunty cap, this costume looks amazing with a victory roll hairstyle and a brazen red lip. Over There and Over HereAre you ready to get into a retro mindset? You'll feel it as soon as this costume arrives. The fit and flare cut of this dress will make you want to jump onto the dance floor. Whether you're swing dancing to jazz music like a soldier on leave or you're working in the war room, this costume will bring your retro musings to life!
