It's that time of year again! There's always fun stuff to check out in the "pop-up" Spirit Halloween store. It's here for a few months, so check it while you can.
It's also fun to see where these stores wind up. Any giant recently-vacant place will do. Sometimes they are in the same empty place as last year, but often they move around. This used to be an A.C. Moore arts store, I think.
Giant printed cardboard display? Sure! Gotta have something creepy to put all of the creepy stuff around.
Aww! This guy just wants a hug! Too bad he's not going to get one from me.
Do we need to be reminded about who David S. Pumpkins is again? Any questions?
Despite the fact that Jason from the Friday the 13th movies wears a hockey mask, and has been wearing it for decades, I think this is the first time I've seen a themed hockey jersey for it.
Garth says "shwing!" And somehow gets away with it. Starlight acts like a hero and restrains herself from crushing his rude behavior. So feel free to dress like Garth and say "shwing!" all night, if you want.
Rack of skeletons? You're in a Halloween store! Don't stop to think how crazy this seems, any other time of the year.
Did you know there's a poem or something written on Harley Quinn's baseball bat? I'm sure you can look it up online somewhere if you really needed to know what it says.
I might have gotten a picture of this before, but it's still funny to think how great an idea it is to have a costume that basically allows you to eat all the cookies you want. Hey, I'm "in character"! COOOOKIES!!!! OM NOM NOM NOM!
Much like the Batman villain The Riddler, if you come dressed up as the D&D Dungeon Master, you better come to the party prepared with a bunch of riddles.
Steampunk mask is a little too on-the-nose for these modern times, y'think? Steampunk is all like "Hey we had facemasks before they were a thing".
That is some awfully-thin fabric there. How would you even wear something underneath of this?
These costumes are for adults... they be rated "AAARRRRRRR!"
And that's my pirate joke.
All of a sudden, I feel like I wandered into a different store. Awkward!
Check out the fun photo-op spot in the store. And look over there at the cameo appearance from The Crypt Keeper! Pumpkin Nester was a Spirit Store decoration sold in 2014. Funny that there are three Employee of The Month spaces even thought Halloween is pretty much just an October thing.
This guy is working hard, trying to make Employee of The Month! He looks so happy. I'm rooting for you!
Always funny to see the "generic" weapons that are obviously rip-offs of other things. That flat rectangular sword is obviously from Final Fantasy 7, c'mon, we all know it.
Anybody watch Svengoolie? At the end of the show, he retreats into his coffin while they throw rubber chickens at him. Often people see him at conventions and ask him to autograph a rubber chicken.
Where's my "Sleepy Grandpa President" costume? All they have is "Baby President". If you don't think that's fair, cry like a baby? Ouch. Sorry for getting all political for a second. But yeah kinda not fair, right?
Maybe the coolest costume seen, this is the shirt Lilo wears. Simple and awesome. The Stitch costume might be a little harder to perfectly match.
This year the "Baby Yoda" costume uses his actual name, Grogu. Cool.
Sometimes I get pictures of things that are funny all on their own, and when I try to think of something funny to say about it, well I kinda don't have to.
Not all of these characters are immediately recognizable. How many can you name?
My friend remembers the first time he saw a syringe pen on a desk at work and totally freaked out. It was a long time ago, but still. From a glance they can look pretty shocking.
Are "Flamin' Hot" Cheetos that scary? Here it is, among the other scary cups. Watch out for those Flamin' Hot Cheetos! They'll burn your mouth off!
