Halloween is just a couple of weeks away and this year it’s on a Saturday, meaning that party-hopping will be in full effect. Make sure your costume is a winner this year. Last year, everyone pretended to be Sarah Palin, and this year, we are sure there will be a bunch of Obama masks trick-or-treating, but if you head to these shops, you’ll find a far more original costume that will steal the Halloween show and maybe score you a “best costume” award or two.

Paradise Fabrics & Costumes in Cave Creek is a fabulous place to rent a Halloween costume, and in the off season you can also rent and get custom-made formal wear there as well. The costumes here are hand-made and include all the appropriate accessories, so a dragon slayer will surely have his sword and a nurse will look complete with her stethoscope. Look online to see what is available.
