2017-10-14 ShanghaiWOWeng

"Trick or treat!" Halloween is coming soon, it's that time of the year again where little ghosts appear asking for treats, and tipsy jokers and vampires fill the streets at night. If you're planning to join in the fun, here are some shops to start you off with.


Ruby's Party

Opened in 2006, Ruby's Party shop has long been a Shanghai costume and party supply mainstay. Here you can find costumes for boys and girls, men and women in a multitude of styles and sizes. Fancy going cute like Hello Kitty, anime character Naruto, or sex icon Marilyn Monroe? Ruby's Party shop has it all. Some costumes can be rented, so you don't have to worry about having to throw out your outfits after a one-time use. They also have hats, wigs, masks and all sorts of other spooky goodies.

For many years, this store has been one of Shanghai's top spots for Halloween costumes and party supplies. The front section is all party decorations and seasonal accessories, while the space in back is home to more quality costumes. They have everything from classic witches and superheroes to exotic yetis and more, as well as plenty of accessories to "make your own" outfit if you so choose.

If you're looking for an authentic Chinese costume, then you might want to take a look at this small store on Guangdong Lu.

Even though they're quite far from downtown Shanghai, it is one of the most furnished party accessory shops around. You can find Harry Potter, The Minions or Mario Bros costumes for the kids and as for the adults they have Jack Sparrow, Batman, Batgirl, Spiderman and other popular movie characters. If you prefer something a little simple, they have masks, fake tattoos and face-paint.

Of course there's always Taobao for the busy or lazy among us. One of the costume specialists there is Joy Toy Forest.
