5 Clever Uses for Your Halloween Costume After Halloween

Halloween come and go very fast, but it doesn’t mean that you cannot reuse your Halloween costume. There are a ton of clever and unique uses for your costume after the night, but we have narrowed down the top 5 uses for that spooky getup. After a dull 2020 Halloween, this year is looking to be much better!

Halloween Costume Uses

Resell It

Yup, just plain old reselling. Some costumes can cost hundreds of dollars, and if you want to recoup some of that, try to sell it on eBay or Craigslist. You should be able to get a sizable chunk of money if the costume was of good quality and in good condition. If you need some help selling online, check out this guide on selling items online.

Make a New Costume

Get ahead of next Halloween and turn this costume into a new one! Get creative and start modifying, an easy way to convert a costume is to turn into the “Zombie Version”. If you were a nurse this past Halloween, add some rips and get some makeup, fake blood and ta-dah! Zombie Nurse.

Make a Kid’s Day

Feel like being a superhero just one more day? Volunteer at a hospital to go around and play with all the sick children. Keep in mind, you need to contact the hospital prior, don’t just show up. We recommend Children’s Hospital, the kids can always use a pick me up.

Trade It

Have some friends with great costumes? You can always just swap! This takes care of next year’s costume quick and easily, just make sure that their costume actually fits before you trade.

Host a Costume Party

Now you and all your friends have another reason to wear their costumes again! Hosting a costume themed party is always a fun idea and allows everyone to reuse their old costumes. If you want to, you can always swap costumes at the end for next Halloween.

Still can’t figure out what to do with that Halloween Costume? Toss it in a self storage unit while you think it over!

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
