Spirit Halloween.

It is once again
Spooktober Witch Day!

Doesn't she look just oh so sweet?
She's not!
She is conniving and evil.

Just remember that.

Wow. I know I say it every year, but

Witch Day goes by too dang fast!

I can't wait 'til next year.

Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees (my all-time favorite) was

once again terribly underrepresented at Spirit this year. They

did have this new wall decor, which unfortunately was just like

last year's Ghostface wall decor, much too easily damaged.
Pass.



But for the last few years they have had this excellent Camp

Crystal Lake sign. I am surprised that they are still offering

this and one day when it is no longer available I will kick myself

for not buying it. But I just have zero room for it. Ack.

Here is one of my two Annual Halloween Crawl Souvenirs

for 2026. I have passed up buying this Camp Crystal Lake

mug quite a few times. But this year, I finally bought it, and

I actually really enjoy seeing it sitting on my dresser every day!

I did have something else Jason related in mind  that I wanted,
 but they didn’t have it at either of the two stores we
visited (as usual). More on that to come.

A cool photo op at Spirit Halloween. Secure your

spot on the rec room wall as Camper of the Week

before you disappear... forever.



She was never convicted.

This Halloween Express clown...

...genuinely creeps me out.

(Bravo, Display Associate. Bravo!)

I had nothing to do with this.
Cool axe though.

Michael Myers at Spirit Halloween for 2026.

My son and I voted this the Animatronic of

the Year at Spirit. He is tall and imposing.

He looks good. I like his knife movement.

I'm not sure what this guy at
Halloween Express is. A ghoul?
I don't know.



And why he smoking a cigar?

HOW is he smoking a cigar?

Suspension of disbelief in play.

The theme for 2026 at Spirit Halloween is

Camp Harbor Lake. Not a very safe camp

I'm thinkin'. A lot of critters (of sorts) about.

A lovely welcome sign adorns the camp cabins.
Makes you feel right at home, until you
walk inside and...

...look up. Holy cow! Is/was that a camp
counselor, or, gulp, a camper?! Yikes! Hey, it looks
like something is carved into the wooden seat
of that canoe? Let me take a...

...closer look. Well, that's not good.
Moving along.

Here is view of  the back side of the cabins. I would
avoid this area. There is one of them critters I mentioned
someplace nearby. I will show that in the coming
Spooktober days.

The camp definitely has a spirit... or two.

Perhaps we should end today's SPOOKTOBER entry with this:

Let's all sing the camp song!!

Summer camp! Hoo-RAY!
(Maybe.)
