Get Ready for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland!


We don't know about you, but we're so excited to see Tim Burton's rendition of the fabulous fairy tale Alice in Wonderland. We're planning on heading the premiere decked out in our finest costumes - Here are our favorite Alice in Wonderland costumes:













This famous trippy tale is the perfect story to model your Halloween costumes around, as there are millions of characters to mimic. Just be careful you don’t try anything labeled “eat me.” As Alice has taught us, those little mushrooms can be bad news!
Ladies can start with our Alice Adult Fairytale Classics Costume. Includes a blue satin dress with attached apron, and a black headband. You may want to practice a perfect British accent with a hint of ditz, as we’re aware Alice wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box. We recommend carrying around a tea cup, or at least some of those valentines hearts as props.
Go the opposite route with our Alice in Gothland costume. A riff off the Alice tale, this costume is sexy, spicy, and any other word you’d never associate with the original Alice. The costume includes dress with attached petticoat, apron, choker, headband, and gloves. It may not be typical, but it’s definitely a welcome change!
Oh! It’s the white rabbit! He’s late, he’s late, for a very important date! Channel the white furry friend in this fabulous tale with our Alice in Wonderland Classic White Rabbit Hat. Make sure you can find the Mad Hatter, because you know there’s a tea party to attend! Make this costume even better by adding a long pocket watch.
Go all out rabbit in our Deluxe White Rabbit Adult Costume. It includes rabbit body, feet, mitts, vest, jacket, watch and hat. This one’s sure to have you right on the money, as it’s as perfect of an imitation as a human could get! Whiskers aren’t included, but we’d recommend drawing them on and adding a pink nose!
Who could forget the deliriously ridiculous Mad Hatter? Replicate the ridiculous in our Mad Hatter Adult Fairytale Classics Costume. Would you like some more tea, my dear? Oh, never mind that you haven’t had a first cup! Includes Multi-color hat, Orange jacket, Light Green pants, and vest with tie.
Mimic the dumbest twins ever (or perhaps, just the most devious!) in ourTweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costume. Costume includes a one piece jumpsuit with attached suspenders, bowtie, and propeller hat. For a look that’s nearly identical to the one in the famous Disney film, try this one.

We've Got Your St. Patty's Day Costumes In Our Stores and Online!



We might not be Irish, but that doesn't mean that here at Halloween Adventure, we can't enjoy St. Patrick's Day! In fact, we adore the holiday - you know us, we'll take any excuse to get dressed up! Even better, we'll take any excuse to deck the halls. In our case, that means purchasing a whole bunch of green decorations, like this St. Patrick's Day Bunting Garlandas well as a variety of other decorations for the specifically St. Patty's day themed section of our site.  

Our favorite costume is an Adult Leprechaun outfit with an oversized head. Don't worry, the headpiece has see-through mesh eyes, so you won't be stumbling around like a blind man. You will, however, be attracting the attention of all those around you in your fantastically realistic looking getup! Trust us, this is one HILARIOUS outfit you can't afford to miss! 

Girls can take part in the fun as well with our fabulously green Leprechaun Child Costume. This outfit isn't too over the top, so she could wear it to school or to a party at her friend's house and feel totally fabulous. It includes a green dress, black jacket, and leprechaun belt and matching hat. Voila, you've gone green! Boys will love our funny (and way more over the top) version! This yellow and green confection is PERFECT for the class clown- it even includes a hilarious beard! The hat and the outfit are all there. It's the best way to celebrate while still having a good time.  Even toddlers can get in on the fun withthis comfy adorable green outfit! It includes a little green velvet jacket, with matching hat and belted detail. Perfect for the tot who loves to play dress up!  Go off and hunt for the gold at the end of the rainbow!

Looking for some V-Day Costumes? We've got 'em

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we're thinking that if you're anything like us, you still haven't finalized which sexy costume you'll be wearing! Many people think costumes are just for Halloween, but we find costumes so fun that we can't resist wearing them on other holidays as well. Valentine's Day is one of these holidays - and we've found many sexy and sassy costumes on Halloween Adventure's website. Jam packed with all kinds of costumes and props, Halloween Adventure has everything a Valentine's Day lover could ask for. Skip the average chocolate and card routine and do something different. Spice it up!
In the past, we've sported the usual costumes, but this year, we're trying something new. We've been a love bug and a cupid, but this Valentine's Day, we're going to be a Hollywood starlet! This sexy and sultry red silk dress screams screen siren - and there's nothing better than that, especially when you want to give your man something to be thankful for! With a sequin garter and a faux fur stole, this is a costume that can't be beat in the sexy department.
That is, unless you're into uniforms. In that case, we'd recommend you take a look at the Ally Catraz Costume - jail never looked so good! A hot orange mini dress that zips and unzips to leave as little or as much to the imagination as you please; this costume is sure to get your gentlemen's engine revving. This naughty girl has been bad, and she needs to be tamed! Take her out of jail and into the bedroom and give your guy a Valentine's night he'll never forget!

The Best Source for Teen Witch Costumes!

Looking for the perfect sized costumes for teenagers? We found all of ours right here at Halloween Adventure! In fact, we were looking for witch costumes, and we stumbled upon all of these!  This Halloween, grab some girlfriends and do a take on Angelica Houston in the remake of the Roald Dahl book The Witches, or pull out some pink smoke and recreate Hocus Pocus.

Who said witches were all scare and no sass? Our Sexy Black Witch costume is a little bit of both. You'll turn heads as you ride in on your broom with this costume. The Black Witch costume includes: short black dress with lace trim and side stitching, and rumpled black witches hat.
Go classic creepy with our Classic Witch Adult Costume. This classic witch costume includes a long-sleeved black button front shirt, long black skirt with elastic waist, cape, and a matching black witch hat with attached scarf. All you need is a broom and an angry, evil cackle to go with it.
Ladies with curves, don’t let those skinny minnies have all the fun. Go evil goddess with our Elegant Witch Adult Plus Size costume. Costume includes a sexy black dress with shredded bell sleeves and a shredded bottom, as well as a witch hat with belt. This costume is both freaky and fabulous!
Sexy girls with little to no shame will love our Fairytales Witch Costume, a sizzling getup that includes a colorful mini dress with tattered tulle in the skirt and a bustier at the top, as well as a colorful hat with dangling spider at the end. Get lost in the forest in this costume. Hansel won’t know what hit him!
Teens can try our Glitter Witch Teen Costume, and adorable sassy outfit that includes a glittery minidress with long shredded sleeves and tulle bottom. Hat isn’t included, so snag one here.

Any witch you choose, remember that no costume is complete without a lot of attitude and a maniacal laugh. Channel the ladies of Hocus Pocus and come with your own smoke machine, or carry “treats” in your pocket for those little kids who just don’t know any better (just kidding!). Have fun!

Play one of the many politicians portrayed in Hollywood and beyond with our salt and peppered Commander in Chief Wig. This baby is born to be worn with a smart suit and a pair of nice loafers (ok, boat shoes would work too).

Go back in time to the era of peace love and happiness with our Feeling Groovy Wig. This long black wig includes braids and beads, and looks great with those Lennon-era circular sunglasses and a laid back attitude. Some tie dye can’t hurt either.
Go all out ridiculous with our French Aristocrat Wig in Grey. This long curly mess harkens back to the days of lunchtime tees and horse drawn buggies to and from the palace. Put this on and feel the instant increase in status.
Finish off your Geppetto Costume with this great Geppetto Wig and Moustache in Grey. This getup instantly ages even the youngest men into elderly chap with a penchant for puppetry!
