CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Halloween is six days away, and at least one costume shop in Portage Park is open 24 hours a day from now until the 31st to accommodate those middle-of-the-night, gotta-buy-a-costume urges.
WBBM Newsradio’s Steve Miller walked into Fantasy Costumes during daylight hours on Friday.
"Just trying for something funny this year,” one shopper said. “Instead of scary. I was scary last year. So, I want to do something funny this year."
WBBM: OK. Any ideas?
"I'm trying to find something different," said the friend.
WBBM: So, are you going scary or funny?
"I like sexy-scary. Sexy-scary. That's what I want to be -- sexy-scary. Yes."
WBBM: What does that mean?
"Like a sexy devil or a sexy vampire. Vampires are sexy, period. No matter what they do. Not the old-school Dracula. But these new vampires? They're hot.
“I just like sexy. I do."
