(604) 253-2311
Category:
Amusement Parks
Neighbourhood: Hastings-Sunrise
Fright Nights returns! Every year this place just gets better and better, I should know, I go every year! It should also be noted that every year it gets more and more expensive. This year on a weeknight it was $25 per person if you bought your…More »
2. Dunbar Haunted House
Vancouver, BC V6P 3Y5
(604) 739-4037
Category:
Arts & Entertainment
Neighbourhood: Marpole
These people go to some serious Halloween extreme to open their house for this seasonal event. I can't even imagine how many hours it takes for them to put all of the lights, smoke machines, and decorations to get this place ready.
This is pretty…More »
3. Pin-up Perfection Photography
First off, I am not a model. I have an average body type, a little disproportionate, a few war wounds, but for my height and age a healthy body. I made an appointment to do a shoot with Shimona (who runs Pinup Perfection) on a sunny Sunday afternoon.…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 1H7
(604) 678-5889
Category:
Art Supplies

I was on the hunt for fabric paint for a costume I was putting together so I stopped into Opus since someone recommended I check there. I asked the staff and they directed me to a section with little jars of paint. Of course I was curious as to which…More »

Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing

Love this store! My friend found an awesome leather jacket with white leather skeleton bones on the front and back, which he gets compliments on ALL THE TIME! I found a pair of Tripp pink checkered pants for $30 and back home the same ones were $100!…More »

Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Accessories,
Jewellery
Neighbourhoods: Grandview-Woodlands, The Drive
How have I never bought anything in here before?? The name is a bit misleading, as I don't think I saw one pair of jeans anywhere in this store, they sure had a lot of fun clothes though! The Jean Queen has an array of cute work appropriate attire…More »

Seattle, WA 98102
USA

Categories:
Women's Clothing,

Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
This is one of my favourite shops in Seattle. I am happy to see it is back to its roots again, as I went there about a year ago or so and the stock and merchandise was pretty weak.
I have always found the staff here to be very helpful and polite and…More »
8. Coney Island Circus Sideshow
Brooklyn, NY 11224
USA
(718) 372-5159
Category:
Performing Arts
Neighbourhood: Coney Island
So glad we took the train to check this freaky sideshow out! It was the perfect G-rated sideshow for the whole family to appreciate. They had the man who pounds a giant nail into his nose, the lady who dances with her snake (and has a lizard tongue),…More »

North Vancouver, BC V7L 1C3
(604) 986-4880
Category:
Costumes
Neighbourhood: Lower Lonsdale
This is obviously a well-kept secret for people who love costumes, because I had never even heard of it before! I'll be the first to admit that I don't venture over to North Van very often (if ever) so when my friend suggested the place I thought she…More »
11. Glitter Machine
I was going to a Wild Kingdon party and I had nothing to wear! Yes, it was truly a crisis. I rampaged my closet and was coming up dry. There was no time left to make something, and sewing is not actually my forte, so I decided to get some help from…More »

Vancouver, BC V6B 1H6
(604) 682-6196
Category:
Arts & Crafts

I love costumes, and I love making costumes with my creative juices even more. Dressew is the biggest fabric supply store in Vancouver, with a super convenient location on Hastings street, the only shitty part is that they close at like 5 and they…More »

Used, Vintage & Consignment,

The famous location of whatever is trendy in Vancouver. I remember when this place was the Underground, selling gothic clothing with a piercing studio in the back corner. Now that times have changed, this location has become True Value Vintage, where…More »
16. The Pumpkin Patch
It's freakin Rocktober and there's two weeks until Halloween! Yes! Since the weather was so nice this weekend we figured we should probably get outside and take advantage of it before the rain starts for the rest of the year. We picked up some…More »
17. Sephora
Vancouver, BC V7Y 1E4
(778) 331-3942
Category:
Cosmetics & Beauty Supply
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I have been avoiding Sephora since it moved to the neighbourhood. I knew that Sephora was only going to be a bad influence on my life choices, and many of them would involve losing large amounts of pocket change. Yesterday I decided I was going to…More »
18. Keefer Bar
I get it that this place is named for the street it's on, but Keefer sounds a bit too much like queefer if you know what I mean. I decided to check out their Sweet Sip Thursdays featuring the girls from Sweet Soul Burlesque, it's been going on for…More »

Categories:
Women's Clothing,

The decor in this store is immaculate! This is not a cheesy goth store with rubber bats hanging from the ceiling, this is a store decorated with beautiful gothic lamps, and a couple of shiny coffins. They carry a wide array of styles from cyber-goth,…More »

Categories:
Department Stores,
Dollar Store
Neighbourhood: Downtown
I am a Daiso-virgin reviewing Yokoyaya123, but I have been to Japan, and there are stores in Japan just like this one, which carry a variety of random things.
ATTENTION DIVAS: this is the place to get your false eyelashes. They are only $2 and come…More »
21. Canada's Wonderland
I had seen the ads on TV, I had heard the stories of the amazing rides, finally my day in the park came! Even better, it was October, so they had their Halloween decorations up and a bunch of haunted houses open. We had purchased our tickets online…More »
22. Dollarama
I'll buy that for a dollar! Oh yes you will! This is one of biggest and busiest dollar stores I've ever seen, and understandably so, everything is actually a DOLLAR! It's not one of those dollar stores where everything starts at a dollar and they…More »

24. Bang-On T-Shirts
I like that I can get a shirt that I know will fit me, in the colour I want, with the image I want on it. A lot of times when I am out shopping I may see a rad graphic on a shirt, but the colour is all wrong, or the cut of the shirt is just heinous.…More »

Women's Clothing,
Men's Clothing
Neighbourhoods: Downtown, Granville Entertainment District
Being a Vancourite my whole life, and someone who has seen the demise of "cool" on Granville street, I am pleased to announce a new store that has opened and brought the freakyness back to the city where it once lived so long ago.
You may remember…More »
26. Dare To Wear
Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L5
(604) 801-5482
When you walk by this place you can't help but notice that the mannequins in the window have the huggest tits of any mannequin you have ever seen! Sometimes the cameltoes in the display are almost appauling, but it's impossible not to be sucked in by…More »
27. Priape
Hellooooooo boys! As a former fag hag, I love going into Priape! Most of the boys working there are pretty easy on the eyes, and friendly. They have a great selection of sexy booty shorts and underthings for the men in your life. At the back of the…More »

(604) 420-3431
If you have ever wondered where that giant dinosaur statue came from in a movie you recently saw, or where all of the Xmas decorations get stored for made-for-TV-movies that are shot locally, you should plan a day trip to Can Am.
Can Am is the prop…More »
30. Love's Touch
Unlike the gritty Granville Street sex stores, you don't have to hide your face as you walk into this sex store, it's on Davie Street, and there's at least four of them in a five block radius. Davie Street most commonly known for its hot pink bus…More »
31. New York Novelties

Vancouver, BC V6A 2W5
(604) 681-7351
Category:
Art Supplies
Neighbourhood: Strathcona
I came here in a rush to grab some glitter glue for the costume I am making, because adding glitter to a costume takes it that extra step from frumpy to fabulous! I had never been in the store before, it was another case of passing by it 100 times…More »

I was sooooooo looking forward to this giant craft store opening, and just in time for Halloween no less! I found myself an ice cube tray that makes ice cube shot glasses, yes, you read that right, ice cube shot glasses. They even have little skulls…More »

Burnaby, BC V5H 4L7
(604) 436-3647
Category:
Shopping
Neighbourhood: Metrotown
I actually thought there would be more Halloweenie things here than there was. It was a big enough store to fullfill all of my nightmares, and yet I wasn't really that excited. They definitely had the most home decorations of any other store I had…More »

Shopping

Vancouver, BC V6Z 1L2
(604) 669-6800

Categories:
Women's Clothing,

If it wasn't for the sandwich board outside the front of this store I would have walked right past it. The sandwich board with the marijuana leaf on it didn't really make me think of shopping for gothic lolita dresses, but that's what I came here…More »

Categories:
Men's Clothing,
Women's Clothing
Neighbourhood: Capitol Hill
Hot Topic = lowering your expectations since 1988. Hot Topic is home of the twi-hards, the Bieber fans, and the kindergoths who think that if they LARP enough they may actually become real vampires.
This location is better than the one in Bellis…More »

Bellingham, WA 98226
USA
(360) 647-7454
Call me a crusty old jaded goth, but hear me out when I say that this place has gone so far downhill its almost unsalvageable. Clothes that were once "all about the music" have turned into clothes that are "all about the mainstream." Seriously,…More »

Category:
American (Traditional)
Neighbourhood: West Village
I remembered going here back in 1999, and thinking it was kind of cool and having a veggie pizza for dinner. The scary/haunted house novelty of it was like-able, and the voodoo decor was pretty cool, especially if you are into skeletons. Now, this…More »
