  • I just love those Spirit Halloween stores, there was nothing like this when I was a kid. Now, every season, they pop up, just kind of appear out of nowhere... like a spirit. Well what if all of the costumes and animatronics inside it came to life? What if you were locked in a Spirit Halloween and things started attacking? Well it’s now a movie. It’s a perfect concept, but is the execution as good as the idea? Let’s take a look.

      When I was little and Taxi was still in production I literally thought Christopher Lloyd was a drug addict with mental problems. I didn't know he was an actor, even after Back to the Future came out; I didn't make the connection that Doc was the same guy as "Reverend" Jim Ignatowski, and I was 9 when I saw BttF. I don't know if that is a testament to Christopher Lloyd's acting ability or how dumb and gullible I was (am) as a small town kid.

    So if the store is built right over the spot where Christopher Lloyd died, and that's why his spirit is haunting it...does that mean he haunted the building when it was still a Toys R Us? Did his spirit possess GI-Joe and TMNT figures?

      Man, I was never a huge fan of the Goosebumps show but Are you Afraid of the Dark had some legit creepy episodes. Some of the story ideas they came up were pretty unsettling. I still remember the episode about the kid freezing to death outside, close to an isolated cabin in the woods, and him showing up outside their bedroom window at night saying, "I'm cold." Or that one with the dead girls spirit being trapped inside a doll house (I think...?). Nightmare fuel.
