ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Halloween may be more than a month away but that doesn’t mean you should hesitate to get your costume put together ahead of time. If you like to create your own costume, below is a list of places to check out this spooky season.


New Mexico Halloween and fall events for 2024

Angie’s Costume Rentals

Located on San Mateo, just north of Central, Angie’s Costume Rentals offers one-on-one consultation to piece together your perfect Halloween costume. While they specialize in providing wardrobe for theater and film, you can also find a good look for your upcoming Halloween party. Visits to the store are appointment only, so call or text ahead.

Avenger’s Vintage

Close to Nob Hill and UNM, piece together a period-style Halloween costume that no one at the party will have. Avenger’s has new vintage items arriving weekly so it’s always a good store to keep in your shopping rotation.

Savers

You’ll never know what you’ll find after a trip to Savers, perhaps your next one-of-a-kind Halloween costume. Also, a good place to donate old Halloween costumes you’ve already scared the neighborhood with.

Goodwill

Another great place to find donated gems for a cowboy or zombie get-up is at a local Goodwill store. Also, a good option to pay it forward by donating last year’s cowboy or zombie costume.

Assistance League of Albuquerque Thrift Shops

Another great thrift option is the Assistance League of Albuquerque shops. All items sold are donated by the community. Plus, 75%-80% of revenue from the stores is returned to the community each year through their programs.

Off-Broadway Vintage & Costumes

Want to look like you’ve stepped out of a time machine or a movie set? Off-Broadway is going to have your look. From historical figures to Roaring ’20s, mascot costumes, superheroes, and more, find your perfect fit at this Nob Hill staple.

Southwest Costume Rentals

Southwest Costume Rentals features an extensive list of authentic, set-ready, costume options for all sorts of occasions. From vintage to historic to modern day, they’ll have you covered from head to toe.

Thrift Town

If you enjoy the thrill of the hunt, a good old-fashioned thrifting excursion could help you find the perfect costume you’re looking for. Breathe new life into garments from around your very own community.

Party City

Yes, it’s a chain, but it offers discount costume options year-round and it certainly comes alive with the dead during Halloween. Also, it’s a perfect spot if you’re thinking of throwing a Halloween party.

Buffalo Exchange

Another secondhand paradise to round out the list – Buffalo Exchange. While they don’t necessarily cater to Halloween costumes, inspiration could strike at any moment if you’re looking for just the right jacket or pant to bring your spooky creation to life.
