Costumes For Kids Charity

Costumes for Kids is program designed to collect new or used costumes, make up, and more for disabled and disadvantaged children to give them the Halloween they deserve.

The program has officially launched and we are looking for haunted attractions, individuals, Halloween enthusiasts and more to donate old or unused costumes, make up, decorations, etc. These items will be distributed to children who are less fortunate, and children with disabilities requiring hard to find/fit costumes.

All we ask is that you contact us, and ship your costumes to us so we can have them cleaned and sent to the families in need to give the children a very special Halloween every year. All sizes are acceptable from infant on up.

Don't let the name fool you. We also accept make up (must be unopened), Halloween favors and decorations and such to bring the whole Halloween experience to these children and families. For more look at our Items Wanted or Needed page.

We will also have posters available to download that you can put up and start your own drive to help this cause. Not every child is able to celebrate Halloween as they should so let's give them that chance to escape hard times, disabilities and special needs by bringing them some simple joy.

UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!

HauntedHouseChicago.com is now under the managment of a group of horror, Halloween and haunted house professionals in and around the Chicagoland area. There are going to be some major changes and updates to the site in the future. Right now we're assessing what can feasibly be done in time for the 2008 season - as soon as we've worked it out, you'll see it live here.

There's a pretty good chance that some aspects of this site will be spotty (or simply won't work) while we're upgrading it. If you find yourself facing a form that doesn't work or a page that doesn't load, PLEASE accept our apologies in advance and give us a day or two - chances are we're already working on whatever's giving you a hard time.

If all else fails / if you're not sure you're geting through via the site's various forms, you can always email hauntedhouse@chicagohorror.com.

Rest assured we're doing our best to make sure your 2008 Halloween Season is as spooky as we can make it!
