The Spirit Halloween store opened on Sunday afternoon. I went around 3 then. An employee said they's opened an hour earlier, with a long line waiting outside. I'm glad I went later than that!

It's a wild 'n crazy place, isn't it! I always love the Knockoff costume names too. I haven't been to a Spirit Halloween store here in Edmonton for this season yet, but I know where one is and will probably go in early October to get in the proper Halloween mood!
ReplyDeleteWow. I bet that was a fun store to meander through.
ReplyDeleteI heard Beetlejuice was very popular this year. I bet it was a fun visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun, isn't it? I have a story from several years ago with me, some developmentally disabled young adults, and that store. And I was at work :)
ReplyDeleteI guess those are the names you come up with when you don't want to pay Disney licensing fees!
