What: Leading online retailer Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) has officially kicked off the Halloween costume hunt.

From frightening favorites, such as witches and ghouls, to popular Pokemon, X-Men, and wizard gear, the Halloween Boootique has costumes for every personality and event. The Boootique also features a wide range of Halloween accessories, including masks, hats, wigs and makeup kits.
