It's not too late to get a costume together. Here's a recap just in case you missed any of these helpful Halloween tips.

Halloween 1, 2, 3.
funnest cupid ever!

Halloween Tip #1 - Spirit Halloween

If you are looking for an easy and fun way to lose the real you in some sort of costume there's no better place to do it than at one of the many Spirit Halloween shops that spring up around the Bay area. Whether you are looking to be Barnacle Bill or Batman, TinkyWinky or a walking taco, Spirit more than likely has what you're looking for.

I'm going as humorless, how about you?

Halloween Tip #2 - eBay

A regular reader of this column suggested that eBay is a great source for all things Halloween related and one quick look through their site proved him unequivocally correct. eBay is a veritable gold mine of Halloween costumes, decorations and accessories. The only catch at this point is getting your purchases to you in time to play dress-up. *it's still not too late to get your costume overnighted to you - HURRY!*

vintage Halloween

Halloween Tip #3 - Vintage

Vintage clothing stores are usually a great place to find a costume for Halloween and San Francisco has a fantastic array of these shops from which to choose. From the Mission to NOPA, from Nob Hill to the Haight, if you can't come up with a costume in San Francisco's vintage clothing stores you're not trying hard enough.
