are you telling me americans have stores that open up SPECIFICALLY for halloween and just. dont exist any other time of the year. you people are insane

[offishly]

Imagine an empty storefront. Some business that closed years ago. The building stands empty, unused for literal months. And then boom. Fall comes around and there’s a Spirit Halloween. There’s no escape.

[wooteena]

what the fuck 😁

[enderenby404]

Yeah this is a thing

[krystal-prisms]

Are you serious

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yes and they are divine gifts of beauty and cheap plastic lawn decorations.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

… I honestly assumed that the existence of Halloween stores was just a running joke in American TV shows.

[what-even-is-thiss]

No they’re very real

[bisexualredactedenergy]

Can confirm this phenomenon also occurs in Canada

[fan-enby-anonymous]

It’s fun

[what-even-is-thiss]

Oh, it’s a blast.

[moonybyte]

Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they don’t switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they just…close and wait for next year???

[strawberrydragon]

Yeah, it’s not a permanent store. A company will rent an empty building for the 2-3 months before halloween, sell halloween stuff, and then clean everything up and disappear until the following year. And they’ll usually set up in different buildings from year to year. They just find any good-sized empty store space that will give them a cheap, short-term lease.

It’s so temporary that the halloween stores don’t even have a real sign, they just hang up a banner outside:

[wheeled-jack]

So you’re telling me that every year for a month or two the Spirit of Halloween possesses a dead building then disappears?

[velvety-vixen]

that is exactly what we’re telling you

[naamahdarling]

Ours here do Christmas also which is ALSO delightful but in an opposite vibe kind of way.

yes i am full of love but also? insurmountable rage

[besotted-babe]

she was the most intelligent woman i’ve ever met, she could talk about anything and everything for hours on end. she was hard headed and as independent as they come, and just the way she spoke immediately gained anyones respect. she raised me for most of my life and helped me through my darkest times. i will forever be thankful for all of the lessons she taught me, and for all of the experiences i was able to have thanks to her. i’ll miss you forever nana, and i know you didn’t like the attention too much which is why i’m posting this here, where not too many people will see. i’ll love and miss you forever and i hope i make you proud. rip.

[besotted-babe]

today is 4 months without her. idk why but its hitting me really hard today. i really just wish for one more talk, one more hug, one more time of hearing her call me bubby or mckayla sue. i constantly think about how she’d feel about all of the decisions i make, and my only hope is she’s happy with them and is proud of how im doing. i miss her so much. everyday i’m reminded she’s gone and everyday it feels like it hurts worse and worse. i know she wouldnt want me to even be posting this haha. but i love you nana, i hope you’re proud.

[besotted-babe]

it’s been 8 months, i cry about it ever week still. i miss you a lot. i realized that i call my mom a lot more this year than i really ever did at this time last year, and it hit me. she was able to call you for emotional support last year, and now it’s just me. it’s hard because i can’t be there for her like you were, but i’m trying my best. i hope you’re proud and i hope you’re happy with how all 8 of us are doing. i love you always nana & i miss you everyday.

[besotted-babe]

today’s her birthday. all i wanted to do was call her yesterday. and today. i want to eat chocolate cake without icing and drink a rootbeer float with chocolate icecream. they were her favorites, it only seems right, yanno? i wish i could describe how much i want to make her proud, how much i just want to hug her again. i wish i could put it into words. it’s not going to be easy these next few months. the holidays won’t be anywhere near the same without her. i miss you nana. love you always.

[besotted-babe]

tomorrow is 2 years without her. life is so different. i can’t even imagine how she’s reacting to everything that happened in 2020 to my family. i hate to say it but she’d be so sad. my family is barely hanging on by a thread and everyone says that happens after things like this. i thought it wouldn’t for mine and i was sadly mistaken so far. she’d be so happy to see my cousins. they’re all growing and becoming such amazing people. she’d be so happy my mom left my dad. she’d absolutely loveeeee to discuss everything happening politically right now. omg the amount she would love my new boss. they both are just so intelligent. she had so much knowledge it was insane. i hope she’s happy with everything i’m experiencing recently, i feel like i’ve done a lot to make her proud. and i’m happy about that but god do i miss her. i hope shes taking care of max up there yanno
