OMG! Halloween night is only a week away and there are those of us who don’t even have our costumes yet. WTF? Don’t worry, this happens every year and our retail stores know it, which is why we’ve got these pretty tables with colors to help you order up to the last possible second. That is if you want to get your second or third pick for the best costume ever.
That’s right, the best costumes are selling out faster than you can sing “Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize.”, so the sooner you order the better.

Buy Costumes:

As always, Buy Costumes gives us the most leeway. You can order as late as the 27th and they will still guarantee delivery by Halloween via Ground/economy shipping.

Let me guess. You’ve been spending your summer vacation making gory Halloween props and really accurate vintage Halloween decorations. Wait, that’s Sleepy Hallow Props and Dead Tree Halloween, respectively. These creative Halloween lovers let us know that their eBay stores are already in full swing. Check out their creepy offerings…

Canada based Dead Tree Halloween hand makes each of their vintage inspired Halloween decorations. But they also go the extra mile by incorporating vintage design elements and materials into the ornaments:

“All of our ornaments are handcrafted in our studio using materials that would have been available in the 1920’s & 30’s, or as close to it as possible. We also incorporate as much actual vintage material as we can find. All of our Dresdens are made by a company in Germany …

It may be the 27th, but there is still time to order a costume online and have it shipped by October 31st. Halloween falls on a Wednesday so there are still 3 business days left for shipping. (Well, that’s one advantage of a mid-week Halloween.)

Did you know that Monday and Tuesday are the biggest days of the week for online costume sales? Maybe it has to do with post-weekend day dreaming… “I was just thinking about what to be for Halloween over the weekend. Damn Mondays. How about I put this TPS report away and look at costumes online”.

If you’re feeling that post-weekend Halloween itch then be sure to grab one of these coupon codes first. These are all good for the entire season so there’s no rush. Check back for the really good limited-time sales which will probably start showing up in early October. If you know of any Halloween-related sales or coupons (either online or at a retail store) please share them in the comments.

UPDATE: Here’s a new time-sensitive offer from Buy Costumes: Get 10% off your order with code HAUNT10. You can …

During a recent search of “handmade Halloween” auctions at eBay, I discovered a seller who is sure to impress and delight my fellow Halloween lovers. Among the pumpkin covered hair clips and collaged Halloween cards, the gory goods from sleepyhallowprops really grab your attention. The store is run by Erik, a high school student trying to make money for the summer up into October. His specialty is butchered limbs, so if you’re planning on Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Saw themed decor this year then you know where to go.

Erik says, “I love Halloween and have been making props and decorating my front yard since I was little. This summer I decided I would take my skills and use them to make some extra money and to make quality homemade props that people can enjoy too. I will …
