  1. You listed some great recommendations, but you omitted my favorite all-year costume and fandom shop. Whimsic Alley at 5464 Wilshire between Dunsmuir and Cochran carries not only packaged Halloween costumes but has costumes for serious cos-players!

    October 24th and 25th from 10:AM- 6PM they have a FREE Goblins And Wizard Market Crafts Faire where they will be hosting 24 vendors who will be selling handmade goods in their Great Hall! There will be a Costume Contest on Sunday, as well.
