Angine de Poitrine-Inspired Halloween Costume Pulled from Shelves

The costumes resembling the viral Quebec math rock band's likeness have been pulled from sale in physical stores and online after appearing on Party Expert as "Polka Dot Attack" retailing for $105 CAD.

Angine de Poitrine is sure to be a hot Halloween costume this year, but unlicensed costumes have been pulled from the shelves at one Halloween store.

Costume and party supplies retailer Party Expert has pulled a pair of Halloween costumes from its website featuring the likeness of both members, after listing their polka-dotted jumpsuits and signature masks as individual pieces under the prefix "Polka Dot Attack" last week.
