Spirit Halloween

If there's one thing scarier than Halloween, it's empty storefronts where jobs used to be. So there’s no happier sight in the witching season than when the Halloween stores open the crypt doors every September, offering scads of selection for kids on the All Hallow's hunt for the perfect costume. This year, there will be a bunch of former Circuit City and Salvation Army stores getting a second lease on life. It may be a brief resurrection, but for the staff providing the latest Disney disguise or Transformer transformation, it’s a welcome cash infusion.
