Please remember that all orders received up to and after our widely announced public cutoff date of May 31st will be addressed AFTER this Halloween season unless otherwise discussed prior to ordering.

We will always try to accommodate as much as we can but unless previously discussed prior to ordering , again, we cannot guarantee these orders for a Halloween 2021 delivery.

Thank You***

We can and will continue to take orders for most prop work. Check out our Ready to Ship section for new additions often as well. Feel free to email us with any questions or requests.

For an even quicker turnaround time, we will be adding MANY of our costumes and props to our Ready to Ship section throughout the season. They will be available on a first-come/first-serve basis only…but don’t worry if you see a costume or prop you like and it’s not available…simply contact us and we can recreate it for you. Look for these items to be added soon (and often) to our Ready-to-Ship/In-Stock page.

With the present letter, we are informing the public that the costumes for our movie: “The House of Evil“ were made by Adam Lane and his company Dark Creation ATX We are VERY pleased by the quality and we will order soon from them for some costumes for our TV series, now in pre-production called : “The Omega File”.
Massimiliano Cerchi, Producer/Director Dark Mountain Pictures
We are a professional haunted attraction located in Leeds, Alabama. Atrox had an opportunity to work with Adam and Dark Creations ATX this year and it was an amazing experience. The quality of workmanship and detail that went into each and every costume was impeccable. No small detail was overlooked down to the shoelaces. All of our costumes were custom sizes and they all fit our actors with no modifications. We took a chance on this company that we found on Facebook and it was a chance we have loved every second of. Adam and his crew are highly talented and a pleasure to deal with. We look forward to working with them in the near future for more custom work. DCATX costumes made our local news for our haunt season and they can be seen in the phot below. I would highly recommend him and his staff for any custom costume work.

It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to speak about my experiences collaborating with Dark Creations ATX (DCATX) and to recommend their work for any custom character/costume projects they may have the opportunity to be a part of. Last year, my movie production company hired Adam Lane and DCATX to design and create the costume and overall look of the title character in our upcoming horror feature, Bonejangles. We approached DCATX with the project at the very last minute during the height of Halloween/Haunt Prep season and not only did DCATX ensure us that the costume would arrive in time for principle photography to start but that it would look outstanding and hold up throughout the entire 30 day shooting schedule. When the final costume was delivered to us it was very evident the quality was incomparable and exceeded our expectations. The design and color palette of the costume translated beautifully on screen, and the construction of the costume held up over the course of production, which included many stunts and long, hot summer days. DCATX demonstrated effective communication with us throughout the entire design process, which included phone calls, text messages, and photos of progress. Overall, our business dealings with DCATX have been fantastic, and I would not hesitate to hire Adam and DCATX for any of my upcoming projects. Additionally, I would not hesitate to recommend DCATX to any other company looking for a reliable and brilliant character, costume, and/or prop designer.

Simply put..we are BIG fans of all the great horror movies and their distinguished list of characters that have come and gone over the years. Some people may like scary movies because they enjoy the adrenaline rush of being scared while being safe at home or in a theater, some for the high suspense factor, and some to simply “escape” from their grinds of daily life.
