Halloween is such a fun time of the year — we can dress up in costume and be as fanciful or as ridiculous as we would like. Whenever you need a costume (could be any day — we don’t judge), you need to find a great Costume Shop or Halloween Store to make that happen.
Think about it: Kids get to go to our neighbors’ homes and ask for free candy. Adults get to dress up just for fun or for Halloween parties or fantastic Halloween balls. Some people even go to work in costume.
And it’s not the only time of year people like to dress up. Comic-Con, anyone? So check back anytime you’re looking for an extraordinary costume to buy or rent — on our list of the Best Costume Shops and Halloween Stores in Los Angeles.

Hmmm I don't see Shelly's Dance & Costume (in westwood) on there. Personally I think that is the best costume shop in LA.
