Planet Retro has always been about celebrating the fun side of nostalgia, fashion and pop culture, so Halloween costumes feel right at home here. The team are very excited to bring their Halloween Pop-Up to Eyre Square Shopping Centre, where the Halloween Shop will run throughout the entire month of October. Costumes will be available at €25 for 1kg or €15 for 0.5kg, so you can have plenty of fun putting together your look without breaking the bank!

For those who believe Halloween is about more than throwing on a pair of cat ears and calling it a night, this pop-up shop is the perfect place to get inspired. Whether you want to channel a horror classic, embrace your favourite movie character, become something completely ridiculous or unleash your inner creature of the night, there’s plenty of room to get creative.

Half the fun is deciding who (or what) you’re going to be! Maybe you fancy yourself as the star of a spooky ‘80s slasher. Perhaps you’re feeling more traditional this year and want to be a classic witch, wicked vampire or terrifying gothic monster. Or maybe you want to go completely off-script and create a costume that nobody else at the party will have thought of. Either way, Planet Retro’s pop-up is packed with costumes to help bring the idea to life.

Don’t forget your accessories! The right pieces can transform a look completely. This year, they’ve got a huge variety of wigs, masks, make-up, fake blood and scars, hats or suitably spooky finishing touches. Sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make the difference between ‘nice costume’ and ‘wait… who IS that?’ and isn’t that what dressing-up is all about?

There’s another reason to feel good about getting dressed up this Halloween. Every costume at Planet Retro is durable, high-quality and sustainably sourced, with some handmade in Europe and the majority recycled from European carnivals.

If you’re heading out for a Halloween party, planning a night on the town or simply want to give the kids, friends or family a fright, now is the time to start thinking about your look, because the best costumes don’t usually happen at the last minute!

So, get yourself down to the Halloween Pop-Up Costume Shop on the Ground Floor of the Eyre Square Shopping Centre this October and embrace the theatrical side of Halloween. Go glamorous. Go gruesome. Go gloriously weird. There are no rules, except perhaps that boring is banned. So, what are you going to be?
