October means it’s officially spooky season — and at Goodwill, Halloween truly comes alive.
From creative costumes to DIY décor, it’s our favorite time of year to help you thrift something unforgettable.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect costume, decorating your home for Halloween night, or looking for one-of-a-kind pieces to add to your fall wardrobe, you’ll find everything you need at our Goodwill stores in Massachusetts — without spending a fortune.
Costumes That Tell a Story
Skip the prepackaged costumes and create your own look with finds from Goodwill. Mix vintage pieces, bold accessories, and a little imagination to bring your idea to life. From DIY witches and vampires to pop culture throwbacks and decade-inspired outfits, the possibilities are endless when you thrift your costume.
You’ll find hats, wigs, jewelry, scarves, and shoes that make it easy to pull together a one-of-a-kind look — and the best part? You’ll spend less and stand out more.
Decor That Sets the Mood
Halloween isn’t just about costumes — it’s about the atmosphere. Wander through the home décor section for candle holders, glassware, or vintage treasures you can easily repurpose. A black lace curtain becomes a table runner, an old mirror turns into eerie wall art — it’s all about creativity and fun.
Pro tip: Stop by the Goodwill Outlet at 1010 Harrison Avenue in Boston for a treasure hunt that’s perfect for DIY décor projects. You never know what you’ll find in the bins.
A Smart (and Sustainable) Way to Celebrate
Every thrifted costume or decoration you find at Goodwill gives quality items a second life — and that’s something worth celebrating. Shopping secondhand keeps usable goods out of landfills while helping support job training and career services right here in our community.
It’s Halloween made smart, stylish, and sustainable.
Visit, Explore, and Get Inspired
With new donations arriving daily, no two Goodwill stores are ever the same — which means every visit offers something new. Stop by any of our 14 Goodwill stores or our Outlet to explore, get inspired, and see what unexpected treasures you’ll find this Halloween season.
So grab a cart, cue up your favorite spooky playlist, and start thrifting your Halloween the Goodwill way — creative, affordable, and full of surprises.
