Aahs (CLOSED)

If it's anything like years past, the staff at this kitschy novelty store (with additional locations in Torrance and Orange County) goes all out for Halloween, with fog machines blasting, a seven-foot spider flanking the building and a 12-foot scarecrow welcoming you in. You can find almost any accessory, prop or prepackaged costume here—from superheros to leopard leotard get-ups. But for one-stop Halloween shopping, Aahs’ Halloween Club chain in Buena Park and La Mirada offers a ton o’ costumes, theatrical make-up, masks, props, fog machines and all that scary-making stuff. See the Halloween Club website for store locations.
