Dark decor and other Octoberesque delights that draw upon the gently eerie imagery of the 20’s and 30’s. It’s mostly party goods, but oh, what party goods: black cat garlands, dancing witch lanterns, fortunetelling cards drawn with a touch of art nouveau, glittery skull buckets, mini tote bags for the retro-stylish hauling of sugary loot. And what to wear to these parties? Their glass-framed art pendants, batty charm bracelets, and spider cocktail rings, of course.

“Make every day a living nightmare.” A fun catalog of zombie attack lampshades, hockey mask throw pillows, razorblade candles, saw blade clocks, petri dish Christmas ornaments, and decorative jars filled with syringes. Also the home of the “rough night” collection, where shower curtains, sheet sets, and bath mats all coordinate through a matching pattern of bloody splatters and handprints.

The more otherworldly and fantastical side of historical dress, where that medieval gown can come with a side of fairy wings, if you desire. Both sweet little kids’ petal skirts and commanding drop-sleeve dresses that accessorize well with swords can be made to your specifications, and this is also a good place for extra-long elf ears and the cuffs to spiff them up with. It’s also amusing to note that proper fairy makeup consists of not just glitter, but modeling wax and spirit gum to hold everything on. Custom welcome.

A small chain of west coast stores with a flair for the past: fedoras, cloches and pillboxes, porkpies and derbies, bowlers, turbans, everything from top hats to floppies. The Costumes page is a cornucopia of ridiculous things to wear on one’s head – this is where they keep the beanies and Viking helmets – where it’s possible to emulate everyone from Thor to Brando.

Vintage and vintage-style goodies for those who prefer to celebrate Hallows’ Eve with a retro touch – or update year-round goth decor with spiderweb table runners. Tons and tons of party decorations, including some actual antiques, and pages for jack o’lanterns, Day of the Dead, and fortunetelling. The original art section includes Kerrykate dolls, Haunting Memories glass skull ornaments, handpainted dancing skeleton umbrellas, and Queen of Hearts sweetly morbid wedding plates, and the Cards section is a goldmine of old-world imagery chock full of black cats and flying witches. Absolutely loaded with great finds for the haunt-minded home.

Home of the Blood Vials, which can be ordered prefilled with stage blood or left empty for your own nefarious purposes. Roses, hearses, and high fantasy creatures figure in much of the jewelry, and they also carry toothsome tees, Demonia shoes and handbags, and fangs, of course. Thanks, Jfay!

An enormous array of skimpy clubwear and some actual practical stuff too, tunic turtlenecks among the plunging necklines and metallic minidresses. Leggings, rompers, pleather motorcycle jackets, denim skinnies and flares, plenty of separates to play with, a ton of costume jewelry, 20 pages of Halloween costumes, and what looks to be Leg Avenue’s entire catalog. Particularly good for scrunchy ankle boots and platform pumps and all the other fun 80’s-esque styles in materials that are not leather.
