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
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 thereâs a Spirit Halloween. Thereâs no escape.
what the fuck đ
Yeah this is a thing
Are you serious
Yes and they are divine gifts of beauty and cheap plastic lawn decorations.
⊠I honestly assumed that the existence of Halloween stores was just a running joke in American TV shows.
No theyâre very real
Can confirm this phenomenon also occurs in Canada
Itâs fun
Oh, itâs a blast.
Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they donât switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they justâŠclose and wait for next year???
Yeah, itâs 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 theyâll 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.
Itâs so temporary that the halloween stores donât even have a real sign, they just hang up a banner outside:
So youâre telling me that every year for a month or two the Spirit of Halloween possesses a dead building then disappears?
that is exactly what weâre telling you
