It’s that Halloween season again

Carla at a RCZC zombie walkAre you ready? It’s almost Halloween season again!

Several Halloween Stores have opened in town, along with the few that remain open all year, and dEdmontonians are getting into the spirit of things.

We still have some undertaking to do but we are getting things rolling once again with dEdmonton’s Most Haunted. Do you decorate your abode in it’s Halloween finest? Then let us know and we can put you up on our map. We’ll even dispatch our minions to place a lawn sign letting the world know that you’re one of our featured haunts!

While we all wait for The Walking Dead to start (on October 16th!)  you can get your own zombie on October 7th at a zombie walk with the theme of Zombie’s in Space (visit their Facebook event page: THE RCZC 5TH ANNIVERSARY ZOMBIE WALK: ZOMBIES IN SPACE ) and the next night is their First Annual Zombie Prom and BBQ and The Pawn Shop.

The Edmonton Bone Wagon Association is appearing all over the place too – recently seen at store openings of Spirit Halloween and Custom Costumes, but also in parades, car shows, and at the Smoky Lake Great White North Pumpkin Festival and Weigh-off October 1st and the Prairie Gardens Haunted Pumpkin Festival.

Remember to keep an eye on our Halloween Events Calendar for all the upcoming events, and stay tuned to dEdmonton.TV to hear more details and recaps about some of these events.

Located at #103, 2920 Calgary Trail, Edmonton, Alberta, 4 blocks South of last year’s location – and right near the Outback Steakhouse on Calgary Trail. Don’t be fooled, with other seasonal stores in the area, Custom Costumes is a local business and are trying to decrease their impact on the environment this year – so spread the word to your friends and family or give them a call at 780-467-3738!

Custom Costumes opens in South Edmonton

Custom CostumesMany stores are starting to get their Halloween displays out – and school has just started. No, I’m not complaining – I’m excited!

The grand opening of Custom Costumes is tonight, September 4th, 2009 at 5:00 pm. Located at 3414 Gateway Blvd (the same location as last year), this seasonal store has excellent displays, scary props and an abundance of costumes for young and old alike. With over 10,000 square feet of “Halloween Everything” they are the best place in the south of the city to find your Halloween props, costumes, makeup and effects.

Their mission: to create a bigger and better Halloween with each year passing.
And they are succeeding.

After watching this store grow over the past several years we are always excited to see it opening and see what surprises they have in store for us. They carry the latest in mens, ladies, plus size, children and pet costumes. They also carry all the accessories including shoes, wigs, makeup, masks, an huge selection of indoor and outdoor props and a giant animated Frankenstein!

To help out with tonight’s Grand Opening, the Edmonton Bonewagon Association will have a couple hearses present so come on out and see them.
