CHICAGO (WLS) -- Time is running out. If you don't have your Halloween costume yet, you better hurry.

If you're out of costume ideas, Fantasy Costumes on the Northwest Side has thousands of electrifying inspirations. For almost 50 years now they have been making Chicagoans the life of scary parties. There's something for everyone - all prices, all ages.

So let's start with the kids, and once again, it's princesses and super heroes and also a comeback from years ago.

"For little kids we're doing a lot of the Kermit and Miss Piggy and Fonzi Bear," said Chuck Giovenco, general manager at Fantasy Costumers. "The Muppets are back and strong... they're very strong for adults also."

They have over 5,000 masks in stock and seeing as it's political campaign time again, politicians are big sellers. And you don't have to be a Washington insider to be able to guess who's No. 1.

Giovenco: "He is the billionaire. Mr. CEO."

ABC7's Frank Mathie: "Well, can't you call it the Trump mask?"

Giovenco: "We all know who that is."

Mathie: "Are you afraid of having a lawsuit?"

Giovenco: "You know, he's a very powerful man, so he's just Mr. CEO."

For legal reasons they can't call it the Trump mask, but this isn't the only way you can become "The Donald". You can also get wigged out.

Just ask Zee Spagnolo, the hair dresser and wig stylist at Fantasy. She's been spending her days turning the Mr. CEO wigs into presidential comb-over candidates.

Mathie: "Can you really duplicate that famous comb-over head?"

Spagnolo: "I can duplicate anything. Ha, ha."

Mathie: "So you are doing the greatest comb-over in the world."

Spagnolo: "I am and it looks good."

The wigs range in cost from $69.99 up to about $125.
