Frankfurt for Halloween

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look for a Halloween costume? I am also trying to figure out a place to go with a group of friends for a Halloween party... any thoughts on that topic?

If you don't mind a little travel and want something a little more unusual, you can always spend Halloween at Castle Frankenstein:

As noted by the previous poster, but with a bit more info as the website is not entirely translated into English. This article is from my blog:

Halloween at Burg Frankenstein near Darmstadt & Eberstadt, is quite a popular place to be, especially on the nights of the 31st or the 30th. You do need tickets though, and since I imagine they sell out quickly for those nights, I decided to let you know about it now. Celebrating Halloween here for the past 33 years, used to be highly popular with the 1000's of American troops that were once stationed all around the Rhein-Main area. Many of the bases are closed now, but there are still enough around to make this a fun multi-culti event, with a lot of German participation.

Burg Frankenstein is an old castle ruin, but it sits on top of a hill/mountain with a great overlook. Surrounded by forests, it becomes the ideal place for a haunted evening. For those of you who like the chills and thrills of this kind of thing, this is a perfect place to experience letting your screams out. Monsters, Ghouls, Vampires and Were Wolves populate the forest as well as the castle itself. If you are traveling with teens, it is an easy decision to visit here for Halloween. The coolness factor of them being able to go back home and tell their friends they were in the "Real" Frankenstein Castle and how scary it was, will certainly earn you a few brownie points in the "best parents" contest.

The show runs from 23 Oct. to 8 Nov. beginning at 20:00 until 23:00 or midnight depending on the day of the week. Tickets range from 18-20 € and on the 30th and 31st they cost 22 €. There is also a VIP ticket for 40-46 €, that offers a Halloween buffet, no waiting in line to get in, a VIP Vampire bar with appropriate cocktails. There are also some scary dinners, though all in German, this might be fun anyway. The link has this info in German, so not as easy to figure out if you are interested in participating. Do be aware that children need to be 14 and older to attend the evening "festivities".

If you have smaller children, but still would like to visit here during the Halloween season, they also offer children's afternoons on Sundays from 15:00- 19:00, that are not so scary. Price is 9 € per person and children need to be 7 and older.

If you are here at times other than Halloween, you can still visit the ruins as Burg Frankenstein is open all year round. There is also a cafe with an outside terrace and a very pretty view, just a short stroll away from the castle.
