Cosplay can be intimidating, but today’s spotlight can help. Whether it is the anxiety of how to start, unfamiliarity with the tools and accessories, or not knowing where to get those last pieces to bring it all together, iconic New York City store Halloween Adventure NYC has your back!

Halloween Adventure NYC is a costume store open year-round that offers an amazing selection of costumes, props, makeup, wigs, accessories, and more~

A Store for Costume Fans Run by Costume Fans.

“At Halloween Adventure we get where you are coming from. You come in, you’re talking to anime fans, gamers, comic book fans, nerds, everybody. You’re talking to your people.”

– Danny from Halloween Adventure NYC @ Anime NYC 2024

The staff understands the craft, and, as we at Nerdier Tides will declare, are nerds themselves. You won’t have to struggle to explain your cosplay idea to them, as you can trust when they say they saw the episode and likely will spend a few minutes geeking out with you.

Need some help figuring out what wig will work, the right color of makeup, or how to apply that scar SFX? Halloween Adventure not only has the tools & materials you will need but also the knowledge and advice for what will work perfectly for you.

As NYC Comic Con quickly approaches and we enter spooky season, Halloween Adventure should be your first go-to for both your convention cosplay and creepy costume needs!

Halloween Adventure NYC is located at 104 4th Ave in Manhattan. Head to the official site to learn more and see their hours of operation.
