Founded in 1965 by Philip and Amy Morris in Charlotte, North Carolina, Morris Costumes began as a basement operation supplying theatrical props and costumes to traveling shows. Philip, a former magician and ghost show performer, leveraged his entertainment background to build what would become one of the world's largest wholesale distributors of Halloween merchandise. The brand is famous for its lifelike gorilla suits—one of which was famously used in the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film hoax.
