For over 60 years, Fantasy Costumes has been the beating heart of Chicago’s Halloween season. If you have ever wondered what a true costume wonderland looks like, all you have to do is drive down Milwaukee Avenue. Spanning an entire city block and boasting over 20,000 square feet of retail space, we are not just a pop-up shop—we are a year-round destination for theatrical professionals, dedicated cosplayers, and families looking for the perfect Halloween look.

Here is a look inside our massive store and why we remain the undisputed heavyweight champion of Halloween.
