Portico owner Kimberly McCulloch said that while they've always had pirate gear — costumes, skulls, eye patches and the like — they've expanding their selection to include some Halloween items.
New items include Harry Potter costumes and related items for sale from the Ozaukee County Museum, which had used them for display. There's a Harry Potter robe, some neat witch's hats, a skirt, a pair of snazzy high-top tennis shoes and a Gryffindor blanket.

Other costume items include Public Enemies gangster items from the museum.
One of the benefits of the expanded selection is that people don’t have to drive all the way to West Bend for Halloween costumes, McCulloch said.
The store also has a display of mortuary science and embalming memorabilia from the 1950s, making for an interesting addition to the Halloween season.
