Pumpkin flavored everything. Stylish sweaters that are a little too itchy. Alleged cooler weather. The stress of putting together a costume.
Fall is here and Halloween marches closer.
Spirit Halloween has returned to Baton Rouge with the promise of being the Red Stick’s one-stop shop for everything Spooky Season.
It “possesses” the building that used to be Buy Buy Baby at 5919 Bluebonnet Blvd, near the Mall of Louisiana. The Halloween outfitter is just steps from where it was set up last year, next door to Best Buy.
Minding traffic, the retailer is about 8 miles, or roughly 20 minutes away, from LSU by car.
The store’s hours vary a little day-to-day but are posted on the door as 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. until Oct. 12, where the store will start to open an hour earlier, at 9 a.m.
The store will stay open through Nov. 3, its posted calendar says, at which point hours will be reduced.
Spirit Halloween is the largest Halloween retailer in the U.S. and Canada, the store’s webpage says. The brand is known for buying old or unused commercial space and setting up pop-up stores during the Halloween season before packing up everything and vanishing. It’s known for selling decorations, costumes, candy and collectables.
