I was happy to see a Spirit Halloween store, by me, open up this early. Every year they do a nifty store display and carry a ton of merry terror merch to lighten your wallet and clutter up your living space. But such clutter! Along with the dark carnival theme for 2024, there’s more merch that would give Lurch a backache. One hot item for monsterkids, a Frankenstein’s monster bust, looks like it is selling out. I saw one lonely Frankie on the shelf. Where’s Dracula I ask? Here are highlights of what caught my eyes.
