Party Galaxy

2270 W. Main St.

446-1008

If easy one-stop shopping and low prices sound enticing when looking for Halloween costumes and decorations, Party Galaxy is a dream come true.

Here, customers can pick up their Halloween candy and decorations at the same time as their costumes.

“We are 30 to 40 percent cheaper than other stores,” said Party Galaxy manager Donna Morin.

Party Galaxy carries costumes ranging from $6.99 to $139.99, Morin said. With a selection of over 750 costumes, the store is full of ideas for almost every Halloween shopper.

“We are the best party store in Norman,” Morin said. “The customer service is super.”

Vibe

301 W. Main St.

447-4777

Known for its savvy selection of vintage clothing and costume rentals, Vibe is the perfect stop for a unique mix of Halloween greatness.

Whether customers want to dress as an elaborate mermaid or as Joe the Plumber, the costume can be created at Vibe. The front half of the store works as a vintage shop. Stowed away in the back are hundreds of costume rentals.

Jason Parks, Vibe employee, said the shop is one of the only costume stores in Norman with a boutique-like atmosphere. Storeowners at Vibe personally buy the items sold in the shop, keeping the inventory individual and uncommon.

“We have costs that no one else has,” Parks said. “And we help style the customer.”

Halloween Express

3030 William Pereira Dr.

573-1855

Located in Norman only during the Halloween season, this costume superstore is full of everything needed for the scariest day of the year.

Among the 10,000-plus items in Halloween Express, customers can find everything from wigs and make-up to faux tombstones.

Maggie Chaparro, Halloween Express manager, said this is the store’s third year in Norman.

“We have the largest selection,” Chaparro said. “If you are looking for a last minute costume, your best shot is here.”

She said along with the always popular pirate costumes, movie characters like the Joker and Iron Man are especially in demand this season.
