Off-the-Rack Halloween Costumes that Double as Decent Cosplay Costumes
Halloween is almost here, and if your neighborhood is anything like mine, at least two or three temporary Halloween stores have opened up nearby. Guess what? They are all about to seriously slash their prices just after the Halloween holiday (and maybe even a day or two before). This means you may be able to snatch up some discounted costumes and props.
Now, there is a bit of a stigma that convention and cosplay costumes should always be hand made, but not everyone has the time and talent, which means getting a pre-made “off-the-rack” costume is a totally valid option. I’m not saying it’ll be the best costume you ever own, but if you want to cosplay at a con, this isn’t the worst way to go about it. That said, some of the costumes in the list below are authentic replicas that cost more than a month’s rent for some people, and certainly not the typical cheap Halloween threads. I’ve tried to provide a nice mixture of cheap and “replica” quality.
Below are some off-the-rack Halloween costumes that could work for convention/cosplay use. Bonus if you can find them on sale in a physical
store.
