More retailers for Halloween costumes, decor

Two weeks ago I wrote about temporary Halloween shops that pop up near Halloween. I asked readers to scare up other retailers not included in the original list. Plenty of you wrote in with favorite haunts, mostly year-round shops, for Halloween decor and costumes.

Several readers suggested checking thrift stores such as Unique Thrift, Savers, Value Village, Goodwill and Salvation Army in the spirit of reduce, re-use and recycle.

And don't forget vintage shops, including Corner Store for men and women (900 W. Lake St., Mpls., 612-823-1270), Lula for men and women (1587 Selby Av., St. Paul, 651-644-4110), Rewind for women (2829 NE. Johnson St., Mpls., 612-788-9870, www. rewindminneapolis.com), Tatter's for men and women (2928 Lyndale Av. S., Mpls., 612-823-5285, www.tattersvintage clothing.com), Up Six for men and women (157 N. Snelling Av., St. Paul, 651-917-0470, www.upsixvintage.com), and Via's Vintage for men and women (2408 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls., 612-374-3649, www.viasvintage.com).
