Major October Prime Day Sales Offer Up to 64 Percent Off Popular Kids Halloween Costumes
Amazon's October Prime Big Deal Days event is scheduled to end tonight, Oct. 7, at midnight, offering significant markdowns on popular children's Halloween costumes. According to reporting by Billboard, select costumes inspired by fan-favorite franchises like Wicked, Descendants, and Star Wars are currently discounted by up to 64 percent.
As Halloween approaches, families searching for affordable costume options have a short window to take advantage of steep online markdowns. According to reporting published by Billboard, Amazon's two-day Prime Big Deal Days shopping event—often referred to as October Prime Day—is scheduled to wrap up tonight, Oct. 7, at midnight. The retailer has marked down a wide selection of children's Halloween costumes, with certain styles discounted by as much as 64 percent compared to standard retail prices.
Billboard reported that these online price cuts provide an alternative to traditional retail outlets like Spirit Halloween, where steep seasonal discounts are often harder to come by so close to the holiday. The promotional pricing is tied directly to Amazon Prime membership, though non-members can access the sales by signing up for a 30-day free trial. Standard Prime subscriptions run $14.99 per month or $139 annually, while verified student and young adult plans cost $7.49 per month following a six-month trial period, as detailed by Billboard.
The discounted costume selection features several high-profile entertainment franchises that are currently popular with children. Among the featured items is attire inspired by Disney's Descendants franchise, including outfits modeled after the character Chloe from Descendants: The Rise of Red. Billboard noted that while the jumpsuit outfit features an attached shirt for easy wear, character wigs are sold separately, with Chloe's wig discounted by 20 percent. Costumes for the character Red from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland are also on sale, with accompanying wigs marked down by 15 percent.
Musical and theater fans can also find savings on outfits inspired by Wicked, including a Shiz University uniform dress highlighted in Billboard's coverage. For fans of sci-fi and action media, discounted options include a Star Wars costume modeled after The Mandalorian and Grogu, as well as a Transformers Bumblebee suit that includes a padded chest and shoulders. In addition to modern pop culture figures, Billboard highlighted historical and fantasy costumes among the sale items.
Options include a multi-piece Benjamin Franklin colonial costume featuring a jacket, attached vest, cravat, and knicker pants, as well as satin-lined Hogwarts house robes representing Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. With the shopping event ending at midnight tonight, consumers looking to secure these reduced rates will need to complete their orders before the deadline.
