The story may be about Peter Pan and the lost boys, but everyone knows it’s Tinkerbell who steals the show and saves the day.

All Powerful Pharaoh Men's Costume

Why hide your greatness when you can show the world your power wearing this pharaoh costume. Truly original, the ancient Egyptian pharaohs had giant monuments built to honor themselves during their rule and enormous pyramids to house their bodies after death. Proud and vain, they wore luxurious jewelry and plenty of gold and shiny stones.

You can be that king, at least for the night, wearing this black bodysuit, belt and wrap that has shimmering gold accents for an authentic regal look. The belt has golden hieroglyphics on it for added effect and of course, no pharaoh costume would be complete without some great accessories; this one comes with a cape, some gold armbands and a luxurious headpiece that will make you look like Yul Brenner when he played Ramses II in the Cecil B. DeMille 1954 movie classic, the 10 Commandments.

Wizard of Oz Adult Scarecrow Costume
740057

You don’t need much of a brain to want to be this lovable scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. Funny and cute and perhaps a bit bumbling (well, with straw for arms and legs, who can blame him), we all know how wise and smart this scarecrow really is.

The well-made 100 percent polyester costume imitates the broadcloth and burlap fabrics typically worn by scarecrows found in the farmers’ field to scare away the crows. It includes a shirt, pants with an attached rope belt, a hood and a hat. The shirt has raffia "straw" peeking through in various areas, while the pants also have "straw" pushing out at the cuffs, along with multi-colored applique patches. The hat includes "straw" bits around and fits snugly over the hood, which has an inner fabric lining for comfort.

Now you’re set to follow the yellow brick road to the next Halloween party.

Sherlock Holmes Costume
740060

It’s really quite elementary – there’s no mystery to solve as you know why you’ll be a hit at the party dressed as Sherlock Holmes, the murder-solving and logically thinking hero in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s popular novels.

This coat and hat combo, made from conventional polyester, will give you the perfect blend of 19th century sophistication and intrigue to help solve any Halloween puzzles that come your way. An attached cape and crisp set of buttons at the center front of the jacket add a touch of authenticity and an adjustable strap on the iconic deerstalker hat keeps it all fitting well.

Sure everyone wanted to be the Little Mermaid, but you secretly wanted to be Ursula. And now you can in this totally awesome and realistic costume.

Your transformation begins with a lavender mesh shirt with long sleeves and continues with a black dress that features a shiny, sequined bustier and a thigh-length skirt that transforms into layers of sheer black and purple glittery fabric. When you’re ready to show your true intent, breathe life into the inflatable skirt around your waist and stretch out your six exquisitely detailed tentacles (with the help of four AA batteries). Take hold of the magical conch shell around your neck and you'll be ready to sing (or steal) your way to the magic trident.
