Caufield's Novelty

There's nothing like it elsewhere in Louisville! Every day of the year is a costume party / Halloween celebration. You could spend a long time, minimum an hour, browsing the aisles and appreciating the items you wouldn't typically find on a store shelf. We love, love, love the animated rooms that feel like mini haunted houses. It's a great opportunity to see what's inside the box before you make the investment. Some of the items are not for sale, having been handmade by a store associate to make their customers smile.Prices are fair and aligned with other sources. They do allow you to try on items which is nice. Some can be more expensive and you'd want to be certain they fit well. Besides costumes they have a ton of accessories and party themed decor.Parking is a bit tough. There's very limited space next to the building and much of the street parking is metered or a pay lot. Around Halloween it can take a few passes to find an available spot.No food or drinks allowed inside so leave them in the car.

Caufield's is an amazing gem in downtown Louisville. You can find costumes and props for just about every occasion. For Halloween and other Otho day diehards, there are tons of freaky and festive things to choose from. They also have a lot of retro spooky scenes, so walking through the massive store is always an adventure. The folks running it are friendly and eager to show you around. If you're looking for gag gifts or party favors, they also have a good selection at fairly reasonable prices. It's a must visit if you're setting up for a party or need a good costume + ideas.

For those folks who are true Halloween fans this is the ultimate destination. Yeah, you can go to Spirit Halloween but you don't get the variety or service. Don't forget the haunted house area in the back of the store. There is a small parking lot and street parking. The street parking on Main Street is metered. That being said 11th Street and the area past that on Main Street west is free if you're willing to walk a block or two.

Caufields, call me weird but, as a Louisville native I have not set foot in this store until recently. A friend and I were killing time until the Beer fest at Frazier began. Located on 10th and Main sits Louisville's oldest costume store. Going in the store had a great layout but, the only kicker is the old building smell. My friend gave away about me being there the first time and one employee said I had to visit "The Dungeon". Had no idea what that meant but will get to that in a bit. We walked most of the store and my friend got occupied by talking to someone they knew for quite a bit so I decided to peek into "The Dungeon", one of the employees I refer to as the cool older lady with tattoos got some things set up for me to go in however I was a tad nervous to go by myself lol, she was kind enough to go in with me. I did only have one jump scare but, won't spoil it on here for those who haven't been. After that my friend was done talking to their friend, we went to the other side of the store where the Halloween house was set up and the old tv and vhs tape set up. They also have gag gifts and milestone birthday stuff on that side as well. I love this store just as much as I love Halloween. If you need a costume, they have just about everything for the family here. Also, don't forget to visit The Dungeon (If you Dare) bwahaha.

The one stop Halloween shop in Louisville! Caufields in an awesome shop with a truly great selection and some awesome employees. They also have a super cute shop merch section!

Caufields novelty is a year round Halloween superstore located just on the other side of the underpass where the popular museum row of downtown Louisville Kentucky is. One cool thing about this novelty shop is it is home to the worlds largest vampire bat that hangs on the side of the building and stares down the worlds largest bat at Lousiville slugger down the block. So with that type of creativity you can imagine what lies in wake for you inside the store. Now, I've been meaning to Visit this store for years. I've heard great things. This past Thursday me and the family along with some friends of the family made the trip to get some zombie gear and make up for the scheduled annual Lousiville zombie attack/walk. Walking in and the store is much larger then anticipated. There are 4 separate rooms of spooky and fun goodies. They had plenty of zombie make up and accessories that more then met our needs. The costumes and decorations is massive. They even have some nostalgic decorations that look like they are from the 80's and 90'sThe very back room has the very spooky and fun animatronic decorations. It's basically a mini haunted house back there. So many cool decorations that you will not find anywhere else. Like most seasonal holiday pop up shops This year round one is very pricey and expensive. Halloween decorations are whey pricey unFortunately. They did have decent prices on some of there costumes. But if your thinking is "they are year around so they probably have prove breaks", you would be wrong. The place was well upkept and the workers were very nice and hip to the local scene. They could tell from our merch we were gonna do the zombie walk. So they were very helpful. Overall the damage for my family of 6 was just under $200. Then we got home and an hour later the zombie walk was cancelled due to lack of police patrol. All sales final on receipt so we will be equipped for Halloween or next years zombie walk. Overall very awesome and fun shop. I'd prefer to support a local business like this over a spirit Halloween anyday. It's a bit of a haul to the busy downtown and they have tough hours to make (close at 5pm most of the year). But if you can make it to caufields it is well worth it.

Fun store that is filled with numerous amounts of halloween materials and costumes and props. I really like their "dungeon" display in the back of the store. It is filled with scary items and things that jump out at you. My kids were too scared to go in there so we did not take them but I went in and it was really spooky. Good fun place

If you need it, Caufield's probably got it! For a last-minute costume or costume inspiration, you can usually find what you're looking for at Caufield's. I like the display of the Halloween decor in the back best of all. It's scary and fun, all in one!I think I bought a gray beard from here once, but usually I just come with friends when they're needing something for the holiday. It's nice to walk around and look at what's available when it's not too busy - it can get very busy and very crowded inside the closer you get to Halloween.They have some... questionable costumes that I am surprised exist at all. I won't be spending my money here now that I know they carry certain costumes, but if that changes, I guess I'll reconsider. The giant bat outside is cool, though!

A Louisville classic! If you're looking for a costume, a prop, or a magic trick you have to check Caufield's. If you are visiting Louisville and touring any of the museums or distilleries on Main Street, carve out some time to drop in and check it out.

I can't say enough about how amazing Kerry and his staff are. I've bought several animatronics from Caufield's and fortunately they've been kind enough to repair them when needed. Life long customer! I love Caufield's!!
