Best Costumes in Town at The Enchanted Cellar!

Whether you want to dress up as a Zombie, Ghoul, Snow White or Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum this Halloween, The Enchanted Cellar Costume Rentals at UC Davis can fit the bill.

The Cellar offers hundreds of costumes from $10 Zombie kits on sale (with distressed clothing, fake blood and make-up tips) to elaborate rental outfits like Catwoman, “The Avengers” Black Widow and Thor, Samurai Lord and Geisha for $70 (or $35 with UC Davis discount).

Celebrating its tenth year in business, the Cellar is hosting a Decade Sale with more than 500 fine-crafted Department of Theatre and Dance costumes and accessories with average prices of $1-20. These include detail-rich East-Asian robes and elegant 18th-century French footmen coats with ruffled cuffs; also butterfly wings, hats, ties, shoes and jewelry. There’s even a dramatic Narnia-White-Witch-like coat made of fake fur with floor-length train.

Customers can not only rent or purchase costumes, but also bid on over 20 handcrafted hats at the Mad Hatters' Silent Auction. These one-of-a-kind hats were created in honor of the Decade Sale.
