Wickedly Creative Halloween Decorations & Costume Shops in Hong Kong

Pottinger Street (Central): The One-Stop Spooky Strip

Pottinger Street transforms in October with stalls packed tight with masks, wigs, capes, props, party banners, and buckets. It’s perfect for last-minute shopping and for building a full look from head to toe.

What you’ll find

• Masks (from goofy pumpkins to full-face horror), wigs, hats, capes
  
• Hand props (axes, tridents, brooms), plastic chains, faux blood, make-up
  
• Paper garlands, bunting, window clings, door signs, table décor
  
• Many small fancy dress shops nearby with seasonal bits to pad out your haul
  

How to shop smart

• Go early in October for the best selection; evenings get busy closer to the 31st.
  
• Bring cash—some stalls take FPS, many still prefer notes.
  
• Bundle buys (e.g. mask + cape + prop) often get you a better price.
  
• Inspect before you buy: check elastic bands, seams, and LED switch housings.
  
  

Quick combo ideas

• “Classic Witch”: hat + cape + broom + green face paint (add our Amazon witch focal piece at home).
  
• “Family-Friendly Spooky”: paper bats, pumpkin buckets, black bunting, and a soft-glow lantern.

Head to the area around 36 Fuk Wing Street in Sham Shui Po for stalls and small shops that sell toys and festive décor—a goldmine for Halloween on a budget.

• Fake spiderwebs with plastic spiders (bulk packs)
  
• Bats (paper, foam, and plastic) for walls and ceilings
  
• Window decorations (clings, silhouettes, faux blood splats)

Pumpkins for Carving

• Pick up carve-worthy pumpkins at Great Food Hall (Pacific Place) and supermarkets on the south side of Hong Kong Island.
  
• Pro tip: Carve only the day before Halloween. Carving too early can attract creepy crawlies and the pumpkin won’t look its best on the night.
  

Online Power-Ups

• Taobao – Bulk packs of fake cockroaches and spiders. Scatter a trail to your doorbell, pile a few on the doormat, and tuck some into planters for jump scares.
  
• Amazon – A show-stopping animatronic Halloween witch that cackles and makes horror sounds. Place it near the door as your focal scare—dim the area and frame with a simple garland so it steals the show.
