We arrive and change
The performer needs a private space to get into costume and makeup. Halloween characters take longer than our other costumes — give us about twenty minutes.
🎃 October only · Book early
Halloween characters that know when to stop
Vampires, zombies, mummies, witches and a magician with fangs. Every one of them has a silly setting and a spooky setting, and we pick it from the ages you tell us. Character visits from $165; the Vampire Magician from $289.
The last two weekends of October book out first — by the start of the month the good slots are usually gone.
The line-up
Pick your monster
Each one has its own page with what they do, what it costs and how to book.
Vampire Magician
A full comedy magic show performed in character, with the live bunny and a lot of jokes about garlic.
From $289Vampire Character Visit
Costumed character visit — dramatic entrance, games, dancing and photos. No magic show, more mingling.
From $165Zombie Characters
Shuffling, groaning and a zombie dance-along. The one that works best for tweens and trunk-or-treats.
From $165Mummy Characters
Bandages, slow menace and a mummy-wrap relay the children play against each other. Great for a hall.
From $165Witch Sisters Trio
Three squabbling witches with a spellbook, a potion game and a song. Our biggest Halloween booking.
From $399 · 2 performersGothic Girl
Deadpan, unimpressed, braided. Dry one-liners and a dance number. The tween favourite.
From $165All our Halloween characters are original Binx costumes. We don't represent, and aren't affiliated with, any film studio or licensed brand — if you're after a specific look, tell us and we'll describe honestly what we have.
What the visit looks like
The running order
The one-hour character visit. The 30-minute version is the first block only.
Pitched to the room
The performer reads the youngest faces in the room before deciding how far to take it. If a child looks worried, the character gets sillier immediately.
Games and dancing
Themed games, a dance-along and photo opportunities. The birthday child leads.
Balloons or face painting
Spooky balloon creations or Halloween face painting designs, based on availability.
Nobody gets jumped out at, nothing happens in the dark, and no child is singled out. A costumed character is a lot for a small child even when it's friendly — tell us the ages and we plan for the youngest one there, not the oldest.
Where they work
More than birthday parties
Trunk-or-treats
A crowd that moves past rather than sits down. Two roaming performers beat one stationary character here.
School & class parties
Weekday bookings, pitched to the year group. We'll keep it costume-parade friendly rather than frightening.
Store & community events
Character meet-and-greets for a promotion or a town event, with photos as the main draw.
Questions
FAQs — Halloween characters
You choose. Every character has a playful setting and a spookier one — tell us the ages and we pitch it accordingly. For under-sixes we keep it silly: no jump scares, no lunging, nothing in the dark. For a tween party the performers can take it further.
The last two weekends of October are the tightest dates in our calendar after the week before Christmas. If your date falls there, ask early — by the start of October the best slots are usually gone.
Yes. The Vampire Magician is a full comedy magic show performed in character, from $289. You can also add a second costumed performer to any package for $150.
Yes — trunk-or-treats, school parties, library events, block parties and store promotions. For a crowd that comes and goes rather than a seated group, two performers roaming works better than one.
