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 thereās a Spirit Halloween. Thereās no escape.
what the fuck š
Yeah this is a thing
Are you serious
Yes and they are divine gifts of beauty and cheap plastic lawn decorations.
ā¦ I honestly assumed that the existence of Halloween stores was just a running joke in American TV shows.
No theyāre very real
Can confirm this phenomenon also occurs in Canada
Itās fun
Oh, itās a blast.
Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they donāt switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they justā¦close and wait for next year???
Yeah, itās 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 theyāll 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.
Itās so temporary that the halloween stores donāt even have a real sign, they just hang up a banner outside:
So youāre telling me that every year for a month or two the Spirit of Halloween possesses a dead building then disappears?
that is exactly what weāre telling you
