The witching season is upon us and now is the time to get your kids and yourself ready for Halloween. According to a survey by Savers thrift stores, about a quarter of Americans call Halloween their favorite holiday. They report that most people plan to attend multiple parties in one night and wear a different costume than last year. No matter whether you want to curate a group costume or fly solo, these Halloween and thrift shops will help you put together a haunting look in no time.
