Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. Since I'll be moving over Halloween weekend this year, I'm starting early with the festive guides and preparing my costume ideas for my drive across the country.
Scary Gadgets
Hanging Human Head

It hangs, it vibrates, it freaks people out. For $50 you can traumatize children all around the neighborhood. Want to be scarier? Put it out on other holidays, not just Halloween.

The Fear Haunted House
600 East Grand Avenue Chicago, IL 60611
Zombies get in free! On October 3 zombies are invited to gather at the fountain in front of Navy Pier at 4:30 to celebrate the opening. You’ll parade around the pier and directly into the haunted house.
Bloody Butcher Heart

I’m not sure who would fall for this, seeing how it says “Ghost Meat Shot” on the top. But if you know someone who doesn’t pay a lot of attention to things they’re doing, go for it!

Eleventh Hour
434 E Devon Avenue Elk Grove, IL 60007
Four scary scenes in one convenient location: Eleventh Hour, Intensity, Creatures of the Corn, and Catacombs. Eleventh Hour opens October 2nd.
Haunted Mansion/Asylum 13
730 North Bolingbrook Dr Bolingbrook, IL 60440
Two attractions: Haunted Mansion & Asylum 13. Free parking. $20 admission.
Animated Rat

I can attest to this gadgets scariness. 1) It’s a rat. 2) It nibbles on you. 3) It makes very creepy sounds while doing so.

Statesville Haunted Prison
17250 S. Weber Road Crest Hill, IL 60441
I know this isn’t really close to Chicago, but a scary prison might actually be worth the drive. Once you actually make it out of the prison it’s not over. You then have to make your way through the City of the Dead.
Light Effects Machine

For $40 you can freak out your family and friends with this lighting effects machine. You can control it so the lights dimmer or flicker on and off. It would scare me.

Ghost Books

Ghost books exist. Don’t underestimate the spookiness of a random pile of books. They might move. They might not. But if you have this nifty animated book set they will.

Ankle Blaster Air Cannon
Have you ever felt a gust of cool air but couldn’t figure out where it came from? Well instead of chalking it up to a ghost, check for the ankle blaster air cannon. It shoots a burst of cold air at passerbys and freaks them out.
Costumes
Ragstock
812 W Belmont Ave Chicago, IL 60657
Ragstock is actually a thrift store, but you never know what you might find!
Your Facebook Page

I have to admit that this is kind of awesome. If I weren’t moving over Halloween weekend I would consider this for my own costume. Or maybe my Twitter feed… Oh the possibilities!

Halloween USA
2606 N Elston Ave Chicago, IL 60647
If you can’t find what you need here then you’re not looking hard enough.
Chicago Costume
1120 W Fullerton Ave Chicago, IL 60614
Chicago Costume is one of the few costume stores open all year long. No one said you can’t dress up on Christmas or Flag Day.
Halloween Hallway Costume Store
3054 N Southport Ave # 2 Chicago, IL 60657
Fantasy Costumes
4065 N Milwaukee Ave. Chicago, IL 60641
Fantasy Costumes is practically an entire block long. Plus, it’s open 24 hours the week before Halloween for all of your last minute spooky shopping needs.
Goth Girl & Pet Zombie

I can only imagine that this little girl will have messed up expectations of relationships when she grows up. Other than that, I want a pet zombie!
