If you go down Broadway across from Discount Tire there is this furniture store with a gold painted roof. The store was called Tiny Treasures or something like that. There you will find the new Spirit Halloween store.
This store has it all, kids costumes, adult costumes, costumes for your dog. Keep in mind if you wait until the last minute most of the good costumes will be gone. Also these stores are kind of expensive and the masks probably have little kid and big kid/adult snot on them by the time it gets further on into October.
If you want to save money go ahead and shop for Halloween costumes online but we all know Spirit Halloween is in town only because they know better then many of us that we will procrastinate until the last minute.
I usually go into this store and buy some fake blood or something like that and just look around at all the gruesomeness. It’s fun just looking in there but I probably won’t be buying any masks or adult costumes and we are more likely to make my sons costume than to buy it at a store.
As a side note you may save a little money on your Halloween costume by going by the Card and Party Factory over by Super 1 Foods across from Casa Ole and Chick-Fil-a.
As the Halloween holiday approaches the Tyler area begins to turn the large abandoned buildings into Halloween costume shopping centers. Not many people shop around for the best prices or the best selection. Two new competing Halloween stores have opened in town right across the road from each other. I shopped at each comparing the two in both selection and prices.
At Spirit Halloween I was greeted by a scene of spooky lawn decorations setting the mood for the Halloween holiday. As I pass by aisle after aisle of costume for every person in your family I am greeted by an employee dressed up in a costume. I made the whole shopping experience more exciting, although I got pretty frustrated when an employee dressed as a serial killer would not leave my frightened kid alone. I looked through the many different choices of costumes for small children, I loved the many different fun outfits and all the different accessories to make top of the perfect costume. I walked across the store to the woman’s Halloween costumes. Every single item was either going to show everything up top or show so much leg its dangerously close to showing much more. I don’t understand why Halloween is the day of the year that woman are expected to dress as inappropriate as possible. Costumes actually had the word “slutty” on the bag; slutty nurse, slutty lunch lady, slutty cat. I don’t really understand how a cat is slutty, but seriously? Why can’t you ever find an appropriate, fun outfit for woman in Tyler Texas? I guess I will stick to getting material from Hobby Lobby and making my own!
Across Broadway is the Halloween Bootique. When I walked into the store I was not greeted by any scary yard ornaments or employees dressed for the season. Come to think of it I was not very greeted by normal dressed employees. No one asked if they could help me, I don’t think I said a single thing to an employee and I was the only costumer in the whole store. Everything was very spread out. The Halloween Bootique did not have as large of a selection as the Halloween Spirit.
The two stores’ costumes prices were about the same, and pretty much the same costumes, but Spirit Halloween was a much more fun experience. So make this Halloween holiday be the best, and make your house the spookiest in the neighborhood.
