DESCRIPTION

If you've ever dreamed of following in Lon Chaney's footsteps, Display & Costume has everything you'll ever need to put on your own thousand faces. The store's selection of costumes (sale only; no rentals) — masks, stage makeup, wigs, costume jewelry and accessories — is positively vast; you could literally spend hours taking it all in. Fortunately, you won't have to. The staff really knows its stuff and can help you find or construct a costume within minutes.

But the name of the store is Display & Costume, and while the latter, flashier elements draw the most shoppers, the other half of its sales floor is given to anything you might need to throw a party, enhance a wedding reception or mount a community musical — from tableware to strobe lights to glitter.

Even so, you must visit Display & Costume as Halloween draws near to appreciate the store's commitment to the ancient art of disguise. A staffer notes that the store is a big hit with Seattle's Goth community year-round, and if you can please a crowd that walks Lon Chaney's line even in the heat of summer, you can please anybody.
