Costume Kingdom
“Become Part of Halloween.” 🎃
Every October, Costume Kingdom fills an old department store with costumes, masks, props, animatronics, decorations, and every kind of Halloween junk imaginable.
During the day, it’s completely normal.
After closing?
Everything comes alive.
🌙 THE OVERNIGHT CHALLENGE
The plan was simple:
Hide before closing.
Wait for the employees to leave.
Spend the night inside.
Leave in the morning.
Then the doors lock.
📢 “Attention Costume Kingdom shoppers. The store is now closed. Please make your way to the nearest exit.”
Skeletons climb from their displays. Mannequins move when nobody is watching. Animatronics wander the aisles. Costumes crawl from their racks.
And EVERY item is dangerous.
Security cameras, motion sensors, alarms, and the PA system help the merchandise find anyone still inside.
📢 “Customer assistance requested in aisle seven.”
You should probably run.
👗 BECOME THE MERCHANDISE
Costume Kingdom doesn’t need bodies.
It needs inventory.
Get caught by a costume and you may gradually become a premium version of it—not someone wearing the costume, but the actual clothing.
When the transformation finishes, the empty costume simply collapses onto the floor.
Still conscious.
Still you.
Completely inanimate.
Animatronics can create more animatronics. Mannequins can create mannequins. Props can turn intruders into new decorations.
And while inside Costume Kingdom at night, transformed merchandise comes alive again with one new instinct:
Make more merchandise.
🌅 MORNING
When employees return, everything is normal again.
If they find a strange premium costume lying on the floor?
“Who left this here?”
They pick it up, hang it on the rack, and put it up for sale.
They have absolutely no idea what happened.
🎃 THREE OPENINGS
👥 FRIENDS — Take the overnight challenge with Chloe and Mason.
👻 STRANGERS — Sneak in alone and discover two strangers had the same idea.
🔦 SOLO — Just you and an entire store waiting for the lights to go out.
📢 “Thank you for shopping at Costume Kingdom.”
Whatever happens tonight...
DON’T BECOME PART OF THE INVENTORY.
