Halloween Spirit

Lets walk around the newly-popped-up Spirit Halloween store and check out some of this crazy stuff.

This t-shirt pretty much says it all. It seems like Halloween is just an excuse for people to get smashed. Like adult parties, but also, kids can get smashed on candy, too.

They have new keyblades from the Kingdom Hearts series. These are a little higher "power level" because it takes a more attentive fan to recognize these ones.

There's a giant cardboard ship all decorated and haunted and stuff. Where's Davy Jones' locker on this thing?

Sesame Street has surprisingly functional costumes! Dress like Oscar the Grouch if you want to be rude to people all night! Or Cookie Monster if you want to just pound down the cookies! You're getting "in character"! COOOOKIEEESS!!! Om nom nom nom!

Could you imagine Ron Burgundy holding up He-Man's Power Sword? Normally you'd never even think of that, but here they are next to each other.

Hmmm. Can we take a picture of the round and reflective space helmet, and still keep the camera out of the picture? Challenge accepted!

Cardboard mini Haunted House to walk through. It's a retail store so probably not going to be too scary in there.

There's a few vertical TVs in the walls with underwater display loops. This poor puffer fish puffs up until it explodes over and over again. Poor guy.

Does Trump know about these aliens? Are these the bad kind he's talking about? My friend says they can hide in his closet if they want to.

These giant photo dog masks are so funny looking! I wonder if they have more dog breeds available? Go out as your favorite pooch, and  print out a photo of yourself as a mask for them!

My friend got a big internal laugh out of the thought of dressing up as our squirrel pal Turbo this year. We'd have to scruff-up the tail and carry around a large Teddy Graham.

My friend is fond of this style of masquerade mask. Might have something to do with that scene from his favorite movie Labyrinth.

He also thought this lace umbrella was neat looking. Not that he would carry around a lace umbrella. How exactly does this stop the rain?

Shouldn't this be a clean mug and you can pour your own type of blood stuff on it? Right now it just looks dirty. I can imagine developers having a similar argument. The pushy guy was like "We NEED the blood on it!"

What awesome irony mixing Nightmare on Elm Street and a pillow for sleeping. That's truly some Freddy-level cleverness.

She-Ra's Power Sword spotted also. Her's has a jewel in the middle if you need me to point that out. For the honor of Grayskull!!! Nobody ever mentions how "Grayskull" sounds kind of evil.

Halo replica guns! I don't see orange tips, do you think the police will mistake these for the real things?

We have fond memories of the Halo energy sword. That game had an annoying imbalance of shooting where you would hit somebody a lot, and they turn around and still kill you. Because for some reason they only need one shot while you needed like 30. But the Energy Sword was pretty much a one-hit-kill every time. Oh so satisfying.

Oh snap!... And again,... oh snap!

Carry around a Fortnite thing and watch all the kids get excited and talk about it for hours. Might crash the whole party when they all bail to go play Fortnite instead of party. Please finish reading my blog before you bail to play Fortnite.

 Did we see these before? Gives a new meaning to the word "hand bag". Your lazy kid doesn't even need to hold out his or her hand anymore.

 This poor kid modeling this costume looks like it doesn't know what's going on at all. Who ya' gunna call?! Social Services!

 The sign says "Welcome" but the skull and black roses say something else.

 You just know this spider will jump if you step there. Why are you going to? But we did anyway.

 There's a dog version, as well. Cooper... did you eat... all your treats?

 The Not Today Satan magnetic bumper sticker could be used all year long. Unless it's your day.

 This car was wandering around the store. It looked like it was driving itself but it's possible somebody was controlling it from somewhere, too. Can I say that, either way it was driving like a clown.

Can you find a 3-dollar costume? You could also be a jerk and carry around a few of these to tag on people in weak costumes. You know that kid... who says he dressed like a high school kid, just to get candy. Tag him with one of these badges of shame.
