Spirit Halloween Memes Bring the Halloween Spirit

As we head into Halloweekend, there are two things on everyone’s mind: where can I get those mini 100 Grand bars, and the delightful new online joke format based on Spirit Halloween costume packages?

If, for some reason, you are not familiar with Spirit Halloween (how was your coma?) this is the seasonal retailer that pops up each year in time for October 31, often in an empty storefront. Indeed, there have already been internet memes about “turning into a Spirit Halloween” for years. Here’s one that sprung from recent headlines.

The beloved (or, at least, tolerated) shop has not been above dodging intellectual property laws in the past with their readymade (and frequently “sexy”) costumes—behold their Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz as “Kansas Beauty,” Gomez Addams as “Creepy Husband,” and their feminine spin on Nintendo’s Mario as “Heroic Maria.” As such, the internet has begun speculating about what other treasures are to be found buried beneath the witch hats and plastic vampire teeth.

What is scarier than a phone call that could have been an email?

Wear this one to a Halloween party in L.A., and you might bring the room down a little.
