Racked is no longer publishing. Thank you to everyone who read our work over the years. The archives will remain available here; for new stories, head over to Vox.com, where our staff is covering consumer culture for The Goods by Vox. You can also see what we’re up to by signing up here.

Heads up: Halloween is officially 30 days away. If you're a longtime citizen of the Procrastination Nation, then finding a costume is at the bottom of your to-do list right now. But why not shock everyone this year and lock down your look weeks before the main event? (It sure beats sifting through picked-over props at random shops on the day-of, trust.) Lucky for you, LA is already packed with Halloween-specific spots and pop-ups to explore, and we have ten of the best mapped out for you here.

From sexy to spooky to downright offensive, these foolproof stores have something for everyone and are perfect for grab-and-go types that have better things to do than attempt a DIY project. (Crafty folks looking for retro inspo: there's a map for that.) Explore our top picks below, or dive into Spirit's full list of LA locations here if you need even more options.

Halloween Adventure Store

Copy Link
Located in the former Live! on Sunset space at the corner of Sunset and Horn, this spot has everything you could possibly need for a seriously spooky look. We're talking masks, makeup, all-in-one packages, pumpkin carving kits and creepy home decorations.

Spirit Halloween Store - Melrose

Copy Link
One of many Spirit Halloween Stores in the area, this location occupies the Melrose/La Brea corner space where HAUS Furniture lived.

Halloween Super Store

Copy Link
A Sherman Oaks must-stop, this massive store gets shoppers in the spirit the second they arrive, thanks to a crazy-looking inflatable Frankenstein at the front entrance.

Spirit Halloween Store - Beverly

Copy Link
This Spirit Halloween resides inside the old Anna's Linens location near Design Within Reach and across from the Michael Kohn Gallery.

Halloween Town

Copy Link
Given that Halloween Town is open year-round (seriously), this is the Burbank store's time to shine. Go here if you have some extra cash to blow on seriously creepy home decor and more.

Halloween Town Costumes

Copy Link
Unlike its extremely dedicated counterpart on the same street, Halloween Town Costumes is only open seasonally. This store specifically caters to those looking for a killer head-to-toe costume. (We hear they have some awesomely grotesque Rob Zombie gear in the house, too.)

Spirit Halloween Store - Pasadena

Copy Link
Pasadena folks have their very own Spirit Halloween headquarters, too. This one has super-creepy masks, like the one pictured. [Image via Spirit Halloween/Facebook]

Hollywood Toys & Costumes

Copy Link
Just like Halloween Town in Burbank, this spot is open year-round and is just dying to dress you up in their array of terrifying costumes. Their life-like masks and incredibly intricate options are worthy of exploring, especially if you have an endless budget. [Image via Yelp]

Ursula's Costumes

Copy Link
Specializing in top-notch costume rentals, Ursula's Costumes can help you transform into just about anything, from furry mascots to food items to pop culture icons. [Image via Ursula's Costumes]

Spirit Halloween - Marina Del Rey

Copy Link
West LA folks can get their fix at Spirit's Marina Del Rey location, where thematic props, like this killer teddy bear, are plentiful.
