On my visit to Spirit Halloween, I saw tons of cool stuff. Here are some scary-good decorations at the store!
Happy Halloween. “But Jacky, it’s only October 4th,” you say. All of October (and some of September…maybe even a bit of August) is Halloween. I simply don’t care what you think. In fact, it’s basically Halloween every day for me, you full-time Vampire.
Running the graveyard shift makes me a pretty spooky guy. I love all things ghoulish and ghastly. So, as soon as those neon orange signs go up on a closed-down Big Lots or Kmart, I go running to the best place on Earth. Spirit Halloween. I live for the fun costumes, spooky animatronics, and home décor. I call it home décor because I decorate my house with spooky things year-round. A skeleton candelabra? Yes, please!
Brittany and I stopped into one of the stores recently and I was thoroughly impressed. Their animatronics this year are so fun. I just had to strike a pose in front of a few of ’em! There’s nothing like the smell of cheap latex and fog machine smoke emanating from that place. It really gets me in the holiday spirit.
Here are some highlights from my Spirit Halloween trip. If you’re passing by one, be sure to drop in and give it a look-around!

I thought I was tall. That was until I saw this guy! Whoa! He’s over 7 ft tall and stands menacingly over people, showing off his bloody bowling pins. I really got a kick out of him.

KILLER KLOWNS! The last thing the world needs is more killer Klowns from outer space. Well, except for this guy. This Slim animatronic was super cool.

You can see him in the back in this pic. This spinning clown animatronic was real “two faced”! Also, isn’t this cardboard cemetery super awesome? They never fail to rock the store’s decor every year.
