Now in a new location in the Springhurst Center off Westport Road, Halloween Express is back in orange and black!
With Halloween just three weeks away, it’s time to start haunting your front yards, porches and houses. It’s also time to start thinking about what ghoulish, fantastical or sexy costume you want to wear for all the festivities.
Louisville Halloween has a big Halloween party coming up at Sully’s on 4th Street LIVE that encompasses several days and themes. On Thursday, Oct. 30, Sully’s is hosting a Day of the Dead Kick-Off Party, and on Friday, Oct. 31, they’re throwing the Official Louisville Halloween Pirate Themed Bash.
Where can you go to pick up both Day of the Dead and Pirate themed costumes and accessories? I’m glad you asked!
Halloween Express on 10517 Fischer Park Drive in the Springhurst Center just off Westport Road has sections dedicated to both of those themes and just about everything else you could ask for as well. In addition, they’re the only Halloween shop in town with THREE DIMENSIONAL mirrors that allow you to check out your costume from every possible angle!
I stopped into Halloween Express last week to check out all the new animated props like the Deadwood Tree, the Swamp Hag and the life size howling Werewolf, and I spoke with owners Chasity and Kevin Hill about everything that was hot for Halloween 2014. The Hills have been with Halloween Express for 10 years and opened shop in the Louisville area for the first time in 2012.
“The hottest costumes this year are anything from Disney’s ‘Frozen’,” says Chasity Hill, “so, of course, all the distributors are out of stock and we’re trying really hard to get some in as we speak.”
“Also hot this year are Ninja Turtles, Superheroes and Monster High,” says Hill. “We have a whole endcap of Monster High costumes.”
“For the adults, sexy is also really big this year,” relates Hill. “Sexy cops, sexy cat suits, sexy superheroes; pretty much anything you can make sexy is in high demand.”
I also saw a number of really cool inflatable costumes for all ages. I saw a full grown man in an inflatable baby costume and a small tike in an inflatable monster costume. These costumes are really cool and come with their own wearable fans that keep the costumes inflated.
The best thing about Halloween Express is that it’s clean, neat and organized with everything you’re looking for filed into specialized sections. Marvel heroes, weapons and accessories, latex monster masks, traditional Halloween décor, spiders, bats, ghosts, skulls and even costumes for your pets.
“We sell a lot of winged reapers, tombstones, cemetery gates, spider webs and things like that to decorate your house and front yard,” says Hill, “as well as big yard inflatables.”
