Don't Make Eye ContactThis might sound weird, but have you ever been at a museum or in a decorated garden and felt as though the statues were... watching you?

This might not be good. Product DetailsYou'll be an unsettling sight in this exclusive Scary Sullen Statue Mask for Adults! The unisex silvery mask conceals your entire head and most of your neck.

She of the Ointment JarBastet was known as an intensely fierce cat goddess that was in charge of defending the pharaoh. While her name translates to, "she of the ointment jar", she doesn't actually have anything to do with cold cream. This fierce lion goddess has been around for about four-thousand years. Bastet's symbols decorated both the pharaoh's chambers as well as the jewelry of mothers and women who wanted to be mother's.

Much about the last active ruler of Ancient Egypt has fallen to myth, from the clever ploys she calculated to the ultimate manner of her demise.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to Viking deities. Mostly, respect meant keeping your head high, keeping the whining to a minimum and fighting til the end. If Viking warriors could do that than they would be carried to Valhalla by a type of Norse goddess called a Valkyrie. Sweet deal, eh?The goddesses of the Vikings had it together, at least compared to the gods. They never kidnapped people, plotted violent events, or schemed to make the other gods feud with each other. The Valkyries focused on getting their important jobs done and hit up the mead hall in after hours. Hmm, sounds similar to human women in the modern era. And when Valhalla got too loud and violent? Who'd have thought a heavenly mead hall full of Viking warriors would be loud and violent? The Valkyries would seek some peace and quiet on earth, swooping into battles on their flying horses surrounded by ravens that they could communicate with. That doesn't sound like a bad gig.It's easy to channel your inner fierce goddess for your next costumed event. Lucky for you, Odin has blessed us mere mortals with a perfectly balanced costume that's at once cozy and sexy. In velvet and faux fur, you'll be ready to patrol the wind-blown battlefields of Norway while the off the shoulder dress with thigh high skirt slit makes you ready to party in Valhalla. Talk about versatility! The faux leather armor will let those warriors know you're no one to be messed with, even Thor has to lay some respect down for this Valkyrie.

Win the crowd. Win your freedom.Kids are odd little creatures. They like silly things like SpongeBob SquarePants. And Masha and the Bear, that Russian cartoon on Netflix. But then they also like kind of gross stuff. And we don't just mean slugs, frogs, and mud pies. No, we mean the violent kind of gross stuff.Your kid seems to have a pretty high tolerance for anything gory. Heck, you remember being his age, and not getting squeamish during the original My Bloody Valentine, and Clash of the Titans. Now, he likes to watch stuff like that. He likes to pretend he is a gladiator fighting in the arena. Or one of King Leonidas' brave Spartans. You wish he were into something a little safer than sword fighting. Like LEGOs.But you can't stop him from being interested in the Gladiators. In fact, letting him dress up in this Kid's Gladiator Costume might be just the thing to get it out of his system. Letting him fight his friends might help him move onto other interests. Either that, or he will become the best sword fighter on the block. Challenging all the kids to gladiatorial combat. Your back yard might become a miniature arena. Don't forget to grab a Gladiator Sword and Shield when you order this costume. Every Gladiator worth his salt should have a good sword to win the crowd with. Then maybe he will go back to watching SpongeBob.
Versailles VirtuesLife as a king in the late 1700s was a social one. In fact, kings were almost never left alone. From the moment Louis XVI woke up in the morning, he was surrounded by servants, advisors, and top guys from his various councils. And yes, luxurious royal activities abounded. He had to get his wig powdered and shaped. He went hunting with the boys. He entertained dignitaries in the hall of mirrors (we'll give you one guess what the walls of that hall are decorated with). Our point? The royal guy was super busy! With all the little details he needed to cover to keep his royal household happy, it's no wonder he lost track of what his subjects wanted!Details & DesignThis luxurious costume is Made by Us, meaning the king's top looks have been researched by our in-house designers. The high-waisted short pants, the long jacket, and the waistcoat all have a Rococo-inspired trim, making it look right at home in the over-the-top trappings of Versailles. You'll love the little details from the buttons to the lightweight cravat. Just be sure you avoid any swarms of angry French peasants. Heads UpLouis's reign might not have been a popular one, he's the only king that literally lost his head in the end. But we like to think that his ungraceful exit from the throne room was a symptom of the times rather than a personal hit at this fashionable king. If it hadn't been for the expensive wars, the uncomfortable wigs everyone was wearing, and the fact that the peasants wanted freedom and access to food, Louis probably would have been fine! How can you stay mad at a man wearing gold filigree trimmed short pants? Whether you're heading out with Marie Antoinette on your arm or you're making your royal debut solo, this costume will allow you to start Louis's reign fresh!
A Little Home on the Open PlainsLife for early settlers could be challenging. Sometimes, they lived in sod houses that literally started out as holes in the ground! They had dirt for floors and dirt for ceilings, and there was no indoor plumbing. They had to grow and hunt almost all of their own food, and they could get snowed in during blizzards for weeks at a time. (Talk about going stir crazy!) Farming was even more difficult 150 years ago than it is today, since they didn't have tractors or other modern machinery. And it could take hours to get to the nearest town, since they didn't have cars and had to rely on cranky mules or horses.But there was still some fun despite all the hard work. Settler kids got to play exciting games like "Who Has the Button?", where one kid would guess which other kid in the group had a button, and "Cat's Cradle," where they used string to make shapes. Okay, maybe those aren't the most exciting games... But they also got to wear really cute pioneer dresses!Product DetailsWhether she's out on the prairie, on the banks of Plum Creek, in the Big Woods or on the shores of Silver Lake, your little settler will feel right at home in this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume. The cute long-sleeved dress dress is 100 percent polyester and has an adorable white pinafore sewn to the front at the waist and shoulders. The dress has a hook-and-loop fastener at the back center, along with elastic at the waist and sleeve cuffs for a comfy fit. There's also a lovely petticoat underneath. The costume comes with a brown checkered bonnet that has a stiffened brim, elastic at the back and same-fabric chin ties.A Pretty PioneerWith this Girl's Red Frontier Settler Costume, your little pioneer will be ready to rule her one-room school house and always take first place at every game involving a piece of string!
George Washington. One of the few presidents that everyone can recognize, able to even state that he was our first! We can imagine him with this fist on his chest, sailing across the Delaware River. We can imagine the tales we’ve heard… his wooden teeth and his proud proclamations that he couldn’t dare lie about cutting down the cherry tree. Few know the truth of where he got those wooden teeth!… Ok, so that was probably a lie, but it is hard living up to the high pedestal that the founding fathers left for us. Harder still to stand up to the first President! But, we can try by knowing as many obscure details about the man as possible. For example, he was born with no mortal father! Er, no, that was Merlin. George Washington was born with no middle name, though! He was also a rather exceptional dancer. As there weren’t any video games to play in the 18th century, we were left with few diversions and as a growing man in the social order, he was expected to attend many balls and parties. Finding that he enjoyed it so much, his skill quickly developed and so did his attraction to all the ladies at the dances, many of them attempting to dance at least twice with him!So, while there is a lot to live up to, it is generally accessible! And most of it can be done even without rotting out your teeth, first. You can start by helping your tyke climb into this George Washington costume. The blue polyester jacket has shining buttons in the front and the white cravat shirt just screams the right time period. Black vinyl boot tops make for a reliable look for the old world foot wear. Include a few other accessories, such as the iconic white wig or even the notorious cherry chopping axe!
Some girls just don’t like to play nice or stay quiet. Some girls hunger for adventure, excitement and a good scuffle in the arena. They scoff at the idea of dressing up like a princess. They live for epic battles in the ring and the roar of the crowd. They’re not interested in having tea parties when there are still so many opponents to be fought and glory to be won! That’s why they need an outfit that will have them ready to enter the arena. They need the outfit of a true gladiator! They need something a little like this girls gladiator costume.With a look inspired by the garb of ancient Roman soldiers, this child gladiator outfit includes a dress that features a faux leather exterior that mimics the look of real gladiator armor. The red cape will make her feel like the crowd favorite, as it adds a dash of flair that makes her stand out from all the other challengers.

The littlest command-in-chiefDoes your child dream about someday becoming president? Do they enjoy presiding over a Congress of stuffed animals or writing up their very own executive orders in crayon? Do they craft treaties with foreign governments (or maybe just their friends at school)? Do they constantly talk about balancing the federal budget, creating new federal agencies or appointing Supreme Court justices?We think it’s wonderful that your little politician wants to take on the biggest office in the world. But we’re sure you’re thinking about how difficult it will be for them to wait all the way until they’re 35 and legally allowed to run for the position. We suppose they could try to make a fake ID, but voters might get suspicious when they realize their candidate hasn’t lost all their baby teeth yet!Product detailsWe can’t give your kid a growth serum to age them quickly enough to run in next year’s primaries, but we can give them the next best thing: this Kid’s President Abe Lincoln Costume. After all, if they want to be president, they should go for it and become one of the best presidents our country has ever known! The costume comes with a 100 percent polyester wool-like coat with attached vest, which features buttons down the center. There’s also a satin bowtie with an elastic band to secure around their collar. Of course, of all the things Abraham Lincoln is famous for, we know the best thing is his famous top hat, so this costume comes with one of those, too! The impressively tall top hat features a black satin ribbon and is one size fits most. (Pants and shirt aren’t included, so make sure your kid adds a pair before swearing in!)Hail to the chief!Now your little politician can look and feel the part of a president with this exclusive costume. That’s a lot easier (and cheaper!) than securing a national ticket and actually running for office. We think that’s a win-win!
This is kind of embarrassing, but we first knew Leonardo da Vinci as that one painter guy that one of the Ninja Turtles was named after (hey, we're no history experts here). We did a little research and it turns out that he's one pretty cool dude. He painted some awesome pieces, like the Mona Lisa and he even sketched up some plans for a helicopter. Of course, technology back then wasn't like it is today, so most people probably just thought he had his head in the clouds. Oh, and did we mention that he had some wild hair and a beard? Now, you can get his Renaissance-man style with ease!This Da Vinci Wig brings you the look of the Italian artist (not the Ninja Turtle). The wig features some synthetic silvery locks that will have you looking like a genius from the Renaissance, so make sure to have that paint brush ready!
Prehistoric FashionistaWho says living in a cave means you don't know anything about style?! In our experience, cave-dwelling fashionistas are actually a little ahead of the curve, since they can get their hands on pretty exotic furs and do some snazzy things with bones and claws and all that good stuff. Your little one will have a blast from the past (the extreme past) dressing up in this Cave Girl Cutie Costume for her prehistoric Halloween shenanigans!Being a Stone Age girl is far from easy, especially during woolly mammoth migration season, or when it's time to trim your pet saber tooth tiger's claws. And it's not as if you can just hit a drive-thru whenever you're craving a breakfast burrito. You totally have to sneak into a dinosaur nest and snag some eggs first, and that's assuming you also have all the other ingredients and a fire to cook them on. To us, that alone almost makes being a cave girl sound terrible, but then we see chic Neolithic outfits like this woolly dress, and we're back on board!Product DetailsThis cute costume comes with everything she needs to transform into a really cool cave kid. The leopard print dress features jagged hemlines to look she made it with her bare hands, and it looks awesome with the faux fur vest and matching boot tops. The bony hair bow tops off this wild, very vintage style, and will show everyone how cave kids know a thing or two about looking cool!Cave Girl CostumeBefore there was social media, texting, and long before there was Facetime, there was the stone age. Even though they couldn't instantly connect with friends and know what's happening around the world at any given moment, we think that the cave people knew a few things about fashion that we can still use to this day. This Cave Girl costume proves just that!
RISE, SER GAL-AHAD!When King Arthur is getting ready to launch his final go for the Holy Grail and make that tragic attempt to save the world and bring everyone together for an eternity of bliss, isn't it frustrating that things get all muddled up?

We're a little low on horses in our stables, but we do have plenty of sword accessories and even a few stuffed horsies that might do the job until her true quest begins!

Plenty of powerful women have made their mark on history. Zenobia conquered Europe and even had the guts to stand up to the Roman Empire. Empress Wu Zetian expanded education and increased economic prosperity in China during her tenure. Amy Schumer proved that women are way better at gross-out humor than guys! Of course, few women hold the kind of reverence as the fiercely intelligent and classically beautiful Cleopatra.From an early age, all the way to her death, she truly broke the mold of what society thought a woman should be. She used her sharp wits to wrestle control of Egypt away from her brother. She snuck herself into the presence of Julius Caesar, cleverly hiding herself within a rug being delivered to him. She commanded her naval forces with deft precision during the Battle of Actium. She did all this with elegance and style. Even Shakespeare, a man born centuries after her untimely death, was enamored with her story. Now, you can step into her alluring shoes with this Cleopatra costume for women.Now, we can’t guarantee that any fancy English playwrights will craft a tale of your exploits while wearing this exclusive plus size Cleopatra costume, but it will make you feel like a regal figure ready to rule over her subjects! The costume comes with an elegant gold dress, complete with shimmering details fit for a pharaoh. It also has beige accents and colorful designs along the bust. It even comes with a beige cape. Once you have it on, you’ll feel ready for a cruise along the Nile (or the closest body of water to your costume party).
A Knight to RememberYour little one has had his fair share of rough Halloweens, so far. For a few years, kids are too young to really participate (or eat much candy), and then the first year your child was ready to go trick-or-treating, he fell at school and broke his ankle! Ouch! The year after that it was the chickenpox, and the year after that you were all really sick with a stomach bug. So, in some ways, this is really his first Halloween to experience the magic and wonder of the night. That's why you've opted for this Kid's Lionheart Knight Halloween Costume, a fine pick! Your medieval scholar in the making won't even know what to do with his excitement when he sees that this striking costume is his to wear all day long, from school to an after-school party to evening trick or treating — with all the candy he can eat!Design & DetailsThis look is crafted with care and attention to detail by our exclusive in-house costume designers, so it really is fit for royalty!

Add a sword for the full effect!Let the Royal Party Start!Your little knight may get very into "decreeing" things while wearing this costume, and he may even want to blow a royal trumpet and gather the whole village in celebration. Hey, after the few years he has had, let him have his fun!
Who Wants to Be King?!Having your father return from his year-long, self-imposed exile is a pretty big deal. There is no easy way to welcome the king back after a long absence following a terrible defeat. Maybe the best thing to do is simply challenge him to single combat right then and there?Well, that is a fight that no one in their right mind would willingly take on. No one wants to be the one who killed Ragnar Lothbrok! Even more, Bjorn really loved his father, so that wasn’t likely to be his path anyway.Product DetailsGrowing up with famous parents has a lot of baggage attached to it, but at least you get to wear awesome armor like this Adult Plus Size Vikings Bjorn Ironside Costume!

There is nothing more impressive to Scandinavian than having the blood of Ragnar in your veins, except perhaps this awesome Adult Plus Size Vikings Bjorn Ironside Costume!
The Wrong DecadeDo you ever feel like you were born in the wrong decade, or perhaps even the wrong era? Does all this advanced technology… bore you? Do you yearn for a time when you could exert your will over your legions of adoring followers, by just the mere wave of your hand? Well, it sounds like you wish that you could have been born a pharaoh during the days of Ancient Egypt. Unfortunately, it’s a little too late for that (give or take a couple thousand years), but the good news is that you can still become a pharaoh through the power of costume!Design & DetailsThis adult Ancient Pharaoh costume helps you assume the role of undisputed leader of your home and neighborhood! Okay, so maybe not everyone will obey your commands just because of a costume, but this outfit does give you a regal style that might just get a little more respect out of your subjects. The costume comes with a black tunic and faux leather chest piece. The belt has snakes designed into the front and gold and black fabric in front. A pair of black gauntlets fit around the wrists and a neck collar with gold snake designs fits around the neck. The finishing piece to this outfit is the headpiece, which is fit for a true Pharaoh! It has gold and black stripes that perfectly frame your face in a symphony of royal colors.Once you have it on, your friends may even try to erect a pyramid in your honor! Just wish them luck, since the construction of the pyramids has been a mystery for thousands of years. (Tim from programming thinks it was aliens.)
Clothes Make the ManNo! Crowns make the man. This crown, in fact, makes you into a Viking King. Or Jarl. Or Chief. Or whatever the rest of your costume says about you. Hmm… ok, we admit that clothes influence the initial impression of the man somewhat, but nonetheless, we maintain that crowns are also very powerful in terms of first impressions. So there.Besides, who ever heard of someone taking control of vast armies without a crown? Well, we suppose the President of the United States doesn’t wear one… or any generals… Ok, we admit that that was another bad example, but nonetheless! We adamantly oppose the idea of allowing costumes to remain incomplete. It’s just not right.Hordes of HoardsOne of the best features of a crown is that it implies that you’re either fabulously wealthy or immensely powerful. Whichever it may be in reality, you will certainly be the target of many curious courtiers wondering whether you have hordes of terrifying pillagers, or hoards of tantalizing coin.I’m Viking that CrownHere’s another thing people will say! Get it?! Viking?? Liking?? Well, in our office poll at Halloweencostumes.com, 3 out of 100 people thought that this was a funny pun (yes, it was us).

Make way for the bad guy.Sometimes it’s fun to be the bad guy. Try it sometime. For example, when a waiter asks you if you want dessert, say that you don’t, even if you actually do. When you’re going through a door and you see someone walking toward it, hold it open for them no matter how far away they are. Sometimes they actually walk faster! And when someone asks you how you’re doing, say you’re doing fine -- even if you’re actually not! With devious feats like these under your belt you’ll be well on your way to full-time bad guy status in no time!People have enjoyed being bad guys for as long as there have been people. The first recorded act of badness took place in 78,000 BC when a very naughty cavemen painted a bunch of wooly mammoths on his neighbor’s cave wall. His neighbor never managed to get it all off. And did you know that the Great Wall of China was actually built as a prank? It’s true, the Chinese wanted to mess with the Mongolians so they built it while they were sleeping. When the Mongolians woke up they were furious because their favorite villages to pillage were all on the other side of the wall. And the Chinese just laughed! What a bunch of bad dudes!Medieval times were no exception. For every white knight there were at least a couple of black knights, walking in people’s flower beds and unscrewing the salt shaker caps at diners. It was a rough time for everyone. You too can be a black knight and terrorize the countryside, doing things like forgetting your mom’s birthday and not rewinding your rental cassette tapes after watching them. No one will doubt your authenticity with this detailed costume, which rather ironically was made by very good people with an eye for fine detail.

No Shrinking Violet Now, you may be asking yourself, "Does dressing up as a fine lady mean having to watch what I say?" To this, we say, "Fiddle dee dee!"

To help you live your best debutante life, we designed this gown to look amazing without needing a corset. Because how can you deliver clever "bless your heart" one-liners if your ribs are being crushed? You're so welcome.
All hail the Empress!People tell you all the time that you have a queenly beauty. You brush them off. Who wants to have queen like beauty when you can have empress like power? Beauty is nothing in comparison to power. You could have anything you want at your beck, and call if you were an empress. Besides you are already beautiful.And if you are going to be an empress, why not be a Roman empress? Rome was kind of awesome. There were lavish parties thrown by the rich. They would dine on fresh fruit, and sip the wine of their country. Often times lounging as they ate and drank their fill. They sat talking of the goings on of Rome. All the best gossip of war, hedonism, and betrayal.For a woman who already possess the beauty of a queen, we have this Roman Empress Costume so you can not only have beauty, but power as well. You will be kept fairly busy as a ruler of Rome, but maybe you can have the Senate take care of the business of state. While you lounge with your friends. Eating grapes, and drinking wine. Just be sure to keep a dagger on you at all times. Romans are a crafty bunch who sometimes over throw their leaders. You don't want to be the next Caesar, saying "Et tu, Brute?"
Don't Take Any Wooden TeethGeorge Washington is famous for telling the truth. Funny, since there are many false myths about this founding father. First off, let's get this straight. President Washington did not have dentures made of wooden teeth. If you think about this, we should have known. Of course, he didn't use wooden teeth. He was a well-dressed, high ranking member of society even before he was president. Can you imagine how uncomfortable wooden teeth would be? No matter how well-varnished those dentures were, they'd get splintery within weeks! We're sure George Washington wouldn't mind if that rumor ended once and for all. The first president of the United States also didn't chop down a cherry tree or ask Betsy Ross to design the first American flag. But to be honest, those myths are a lot less disgusting than the wooden denture story, so we'll let those slide for now. Design & DetailsThis bright blue and yellow General George Washington uniform is Made By Us, which means it was designed by our in-house creative team. The costume includes a blue jacket with an attached cream-colored vest with gold trim and buttons. It's completed with a simple cravat slips around your neck, a tricorn hat, and boot covers that slip over your shoes and attach with an elastic band. Add on a George Washington wig and light-colored pants to bring this historic forefather to life!Crossing the DelewareAre you ready to become the legendary first president of the United States? This historical costume is a great look for historical events at schools and festivals, Fourth of July parades, and even Halloween parties! Since it's Made By Us, the high-quality costume will be a look that you can break out again and again. Just remember to set the record about your dentures straight, once and for all!
The king calls, and you answer. It's a simple proposition, really. He's the new king, and he's moving to the capital where most, if not all, of his enemies live.

The king's guard!Do you think you have what it takes to serve and protect your king? We think you do! A Renaissance knight such as yourself will have no trouble guarding the king, well, provided for one very important thing. You've gotta have the right threads. And the right kind of armor!

With this men's Renaissance knight costume!The king demands the best, and you're going to want to look the part of a regal protector for your new job. This costume includes latex armor and a cape, so you can look like the elite knight you really are. Lion and floral engraving on the armor pieces make this set look regal and very expensive, but you won't even need the king's gold to get it.The armor and cape on this set fits over a sleek knee length faux suede jacket, and faux leather gloves and boot covers are included to complete the costume effect. All you'll need to complete this look for your next mission is a prop sword and a slick hairdo (check out some of our wigs for the right look!) and you indeed will be ready to serve the kingdom. All hail the king!
Wash Your HandsWhen Florence Nightingale came on the medical scene during the Crimean War, more soldiers were passing away due to sickness than injury. Once soldiers entered the medical bay they were exposed to some seriously awful bugs. When the sharp-eyed, diplomatic Nightingale saw the conditions of the medical tents she wrote to the government to tell them to save the soldiers through hygiene. Under pressure, the government went to work improving ventilation and sewage treatment.In the meantime, Florence implemented handwashing rules and trained nurses in keeping sanitary conditions. Under her watchful eye and lantern light, the rate of survival in the hospitals went from fifty-one percent to an amazing ninety-eight percent. It's no wonder that, more than a hundred years later, we still remember her making her nightly rounds, lantern raised.Design & DetailsIf your child is a history buff, she's sure to appreciate this Florence Nightingale costume, designed by our in-house creative team.

The dress zips up the back and has a red cross band around one arm. Topped off with a ruffled cap, this costume would make the proper Florence Nightingale proud!For the WinWhile most well to do young ladies were expected to stay at home, Florence had a calling that she couldn't ignore. Her expectations for hygiene, patient care, and compassion elevated the skill of nursing and saved people all over the world! In fact, nurses still the Nightingale Pledge to this day! This costume can be completed with a lantern to represent Nightingale on her nightly routes, checking on patients as everyone else slept. Perfect for school projects, plays, and even an alternative Halloween costume, this look is a great way to celebrate an iconic hero of medicine!
