➢ Halloween Rental Rules and Hours October 2023
- A $300 dollar security deposit is required for ALL Halloween Rentals
- A $50 dollar deposit is required for All Halloween costumes that are put on hold. This deposit will either be put towards your security deposit when you rent the costume items or be returned when staff are notified that the costume is no longer needed.
- Dry Cleaning costs will be charged at the time of rental. Extra cleaning or replacement costs may be charged if any costumes are returned in extremely poor condition or damaged. This would include sever non-pre-existing staining, excessive dirt, any use of fake blood on the costume, excessive and persistent body odor smells, ext. This is non-negotiable.
- We do not accept walk-in Halloween costumers after 4:30pm. We do not carry pre-packaged costumes, nor do we have a scanning retail system. We have over 5 million items to choose from, which means it takes time to piece together and write up a costume. We also primarily provide wardrobe for film/theater so, please keep in mind that we are still quite busy with the film/TV industry business at this time. Staff will do their absolute best to accommodate you but we can’t guarantee our assistance at all times. Thank you for understanding.
- We DO NOT rent any Military Uniforms, First Nations garments, weapons, white or delicate historical garments for use during Halloween/parties.
