I don't want anything fancy really, I just want to find some Scarecrow Vampire Fangs, i.e.:http://www.scarecrowfangs.com/Scarecrow-Natural-Custom-Fit-Vampire-Fangs-p/sk100.htm

Some other accessories would be nice as well. I also want to find a costume party, although I guess that could be hard. Halloween is my favorite time of the year though.

Anyone?

Itaewon usually has some stuff at street vender booths.

I want face paint and fake blood.

Just make your own costume. Get a trench coat, a pack of smokes, a BB shotgun and you can be the baddest gay character ever.

Most bars/clubs/restaurants in Seoul don't have Halloween parties, and even at the ones who do, most people don't wear costumes. I've seen bars where only the bartenders wear costumes and the customers don't.

The selection of costumes is really limited - best to make your own. You can make really good fake blood with corn syrup and food coloring. Last year I was a blood-drenched zombie. Walking through the underground shopping center on the way to the bar was hilarious - wish I had filmed the reactions I saw.

I happened to find a really nice store last weekend wandering around Jongro 5 ga. It's exit 7, across from Cheongyecheon (sp?). It had all kinds of masks, costumes, toys, party stuff. I picked up a sweet Obama mask there Very Happy

Gmarket.com has tons of Halloween stuff. Namdaemun also has some decked out party stores with Halloween stuff.
