The Greenvale store is opened for a limited time only and boasts a collection of all of your Halloween needs under one roof.
Each year, for the month of October, a store temporarily opens its doors to consumers who are looking for the perfect Halloween costume or decorations to spook up their homes.
Halloween City is the one stop shop for Glen Cove residents this year.
Located on the corner of Glen Cove Road and Locust Street in the nearby city of Greenvale, the store boasts 4000-square feet of costumes, decorations, accessories and wigs for adults, teens, kids, toddlers and infants.

Formerly the home of a Circuit City, Halloween City is the smallest Halloween-themed Store in the region and carries its own in terms of selection, staff and prices.
Their huge selections of masks are frightfully displayed and starts at $3.99, while adult and kid costumes start as low as $12.99. Whether you are looking to disguise as the president of the United States, Frankenstein, a doctor, a super hero, a dog or a Disney princess, they have the costume, the star spangled tie, the fake blood, the cape and the fairy wings to go with it.
