Spooky is the most neglected of the five basic human emotions: spooky, joy, sorrow, grouchy, and wet. Get horror glands pumping with today’s Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of chilling costumes, absurd accessories, and more at Costume Holiday House. This Groupon is available for either the Toledo or Fremont location.
A vast storehouse of demented disguises and motley outfits, Costume Holiday House is a premier dress-up depot, offering customers more than 10,000 costumes and accessories from which to choose. The racks and shelves contain everything from macabre masks to gruesomely garish makeup. Combine the latter with a clown afro wig ($5.99) and achieve the only Halloween costume that can simultaneously delight children and terrify small-business owners that are keen to clowns’ universal disdain for free-market capitalism. Newly walking tykes who appreciate the generously salted sustenance of popular legumes will go for the peanut costume ($14.99), and those who supported Kid 'n Play’s 1992 gubernatorial run can relive the campaign with a high-top fade wig ($19.99). You can also use the value of your Groupon toward the cost of costume rentals.
Costume Holiday House’s friendly, dedicated staff can help customers trade street clothes for the ideal nose, wig, or suit of pirate-themed identity armor. Open year round, Costume Holiday House provides garb for Halloween, theme parties, halfway-to-Mardi-Gras parties, and more.

Guide to Recognizing Your Monsters
As Halloween approaches and you become desensitized towards seeing people in costume, your ability to differentiate between costumed and actual ghost-monsters will weaken. Use this guide to distinguish between dressed-up Halloweeners and actual bloodthirsty paranormal specters:
Is the "Dracula" surrounded by sexy nurses?
Monster Status: REAL. Only a real Dracula is that charming.
Is the "ghost" holding a cup, wearing beads, and slurring its boos?
Monster Status: REAL. You know how ghosts get when they start drinking.
Is the "wolfman" covered in fresh blood and attacking everyone with its sharp claws?
Monster Status: FAKE. Don't give the fake, bloody wolfman any attention. It'll only encourage it to continue slaughtering everyone.
Is the "Grim Reaper" on a cell phone?
Monster Status: Unfortunately, REAL. If you can see him, it's your time.
