Reinke Brothers (Littleton)
Tucked away in historic downtown Littleton, this costume shop has been selling costumes, masks, props, and more for over half a century! Stop by to create your one-of-a-kind Halloween look, and be sure to leave extra time for the in-store “haunted mansion” — Reinke Brothers has its very own 30-plus room haunted house!
Crimson Rose Masquerade (Platt Park)
Looking to take your costume to the next level? Crimson Rose Masquerade offers high quality handmade attire that is perfect for Halloween and beyond. From spooky jewelry and steampunk-inspired looks to corsets and other Gilded Age accoutrement, this shop is full of distinctive pieces you can’t find anywhere else.
FashioNation (South Broadway)
The family-owned clothing shop has been outfitting this city’s counterculture for more than three decades. And while the goth and punk apparel destination keeps Denverites looking classically cool year-round, FashioNation also sells great basics for Halloween costumes: think studded belts, platform Dr. Martens, and fishnet stockings in every color imaginable.
