Costume Time Catalog and CostumeTimeCatalog.com is the costume, mask and makeup sales division of parent company Carnage Industries, LLC. Our founder and Vice-President, Shawn Mattingly, had an interest in Halloween and costuming from a very early age...

"I always loved Halloween and going Trick-or-Treating. Of course I loved getting lots of candy, but just as much fun was the dressing up as someone or something else for the evening. This was the perfect opportunity to live my dreams and be whatever I wanted... the laws of reality didn't exist for me on Halloween! The only thing that limited how much fun I could have on Halloween was my imagination, which was limitless when I was a child. I still love to dress-up for my annual Halloween party, because I can still be anyone or anything I want to be, and fulfill a dream or fantasy that I can't every other day of the year."

"I started Costume Time Catalog so that I could help everyone else have as much fun as I do each Halloween, or any other day of the year, by playing dress-up with a really cool costume. I search the world over to find the newest and coolest costumes each year, and if you are looking for something not already on our website just let me know and I'll personally hunt it down for you!"

"And just as important as having cool costumes for you to wear is having a great shopping experience so you can enjoy the hunt for the perfect costume. Part of the fun of dressing up is figuring out exactly what you want to be! We have worked hard to re-design our site to make it easy to find exactly what you are looking for, and I make sure that everyone who works in my company is trained on all our products so no matter who helps you, you will receive great customer support."

Please, if you have any questions or comments, contact us!

Costume Fit Guarantee!

We understand that one of the most difficult parts about ordering a costume online is the worry about how it will fit. Every costume company has different sizing standards and none of them truly match up with the everyday clothing industries! This is why we have developed our Costume Fit Guarantee, because we want to make sure you are pleased with the fit of your costume. Here is how it works...

First you must understand that no costume is going to fit like a piece of tailored clothing, unless you take it to get tailored. Costumes are made so that there are only a few sizes, unlike a pair of jeans that may come in hundreds of different waist and length combinations. So please do not expect your costume to fit like a glove... because they simply are not made that way. Expect that you may have to tack up your pant legs a few inches, or that you may need a belt or string for your waist. That being said you should still be able to fit into your costume and it should still fit well, so please read on.

Second of all we have provided specific sizing information for each costume on the product detail page. Just look over the sizing chart for that specific costume and compare it with your measurements to ensure you are ordering the correct size in the first place. We have gone through a lot of trouble to make sure we have as accurate of sizing charts as possible for each and every costume manufacturer, so please take a few moments to make sure you have accurate measurements of yourself before ordering your costume.

Next you will receive your costume in the mail. Please try on the costume RIGHT AWAY! We are dealing with a mail order process, and if you wait until the day before your party to try on a costume we simply won't have enough time to help you out. So please try on your costume as soon as it arrives. Then if there are any problems we will have some time to fix them.

If at this point the costume does not fit as you expected from the measurement charts, please call or email us right away. We will want to know what didn't fit right so that if we have to adjust the charts or contact the manufacturers we will know exactly where the problem is. If we have that same costume in the next size up or down (depending on your needs) then we will schedule to have your costume shipped back to us (at our expense) and send the new costume out to you right away. The returned costume must be in its original packaging and with all tags and accessories included.

If we do not have the next size up or down in your original costume then you will be given the option to choose another costume as a replacement. If you are unable to find a suitable replacement in the size you require then we will refund your order.

We want to ensure you have a nice fitting costume so please follow our sizing charts, try on your costume as soon as it arrives, and if you have any questions or concerns before, during, or after ordering please do not hesitate to contact us.
