I applied to work at Halloween store once. Was told I would be part of the set up crew and the store would keep the best workers to help run the store. First 2 days I showed up and didn't do much of anything, we hung a shelf or two but everyone mostly stood around. On the 3rd day, I walked in and saw someone I haven't met yet. Was asked who I was, after telling him.. I was dropped with "the person who hired you and this crew doesn't actually work here, we do not know who he is." Apparently the owners of the store are from out of state, left for a week to handle some business, came back and noticed the door was open. Guy who hired everyone had been sleeping there. The owners didn't plan on hiring or anything until the week after. I wonder what ever happened to the guy who hired me. He seemed so well put together.

As an exemployee of spirit halloween, no I never checked the store. I made an announcement and left. Was I responsible? No. Was I a stoned highschooler left alone everyday? Yup.

The funniest thing is that there's a former Toys R Us near me turned Spirit Halloween next to a Chinese buffet 🤣

Okay I know this movie is bad and all, but main character guys delivery at 5:15 got a good laugh out of me. Whether that laugh was supposed to be intentional or not is up for debate, but the way he said such a stupid line so matter-of-factly just sells it.

Thank God you were able to get a Spike TV doctor to explain what was going on.

"I got up to take a piss and didn't pause it but, can you blame me?" And this is why i subbed. 😂

The most realistic part of this movie is that kid being very open about how he doesn't want people to call his step father his dad but everyone doing it anyway💀

the Spirit Halloween and Mandarin parking lot combo is DEADLY

Better ending: kid sacrifices his dads picture and his dads spirit appears and fights the bad spirit. Then has a cringe cliche moment with his son. Then convinced his son to be ok with the stepdad. Then poofs and appears in front of the step dad, shoves the lights in his hands, and says “put the ducking lights up…and thank you for watching over my Christmas wife (que the Santa ho ho ho for double irony) and my wonderful son”. Then cut to the boy helping his new little sister scene and camera slowly pans out revealing the entire neighborhood and across the street you see ghost dad peeping in the window of the neighbors to add a context of dad being a weirdo that way you subconsciously end the movie liking the new stepdad.

Rachel Leigh Cook went from starring in “She’s All That” to this movie. Oof.

Lmao the stunt doubles for stranger things, so damn true

I watched it and the first thing that threw me off was the line "is he ok with you calling him frank?" Because most step parents let the step kid call them by their name it's a super common thing

You're a master editor, I gotta admit that fart scene had me dying.

It was kinda funny seeing the kids walking around after close, there aren't really many places to hide and we had to scour every last inch of the store for remaining customers

Was in a Spirit Halloween yesterday and saw signs advertising this movie. I was hoping you would cover it so I wouldn't have to watch it.

The romantic interest in this movie reminds me of my high school gf, that doesn't mean much but it was a weird experience and i want someone else to be bothered by it

My local abandoned Kmart did not become a Spirit this year. Probably because they spent too much on getting Christopher Lloyd.

The lighting is honestly the most unsettling part of this film. It’s lit like a commercial, and even in the dark parts, it just looks like they turned down the brightness in post. No dynamic lighting/shadows at all. Also nearly every shot I’ve seen is a mid-shot at eye level. So visually uninteresting. Completely still camera as well. To say nothing of the special effects- I don’t think I need to. I get that it’s low-budget so I don’t mind that as much as I do the bad camerawork. The suspense was surprisingly decent for the first Ghost Decoration Possession. But after the that, it was ass. I guess they just gave up halfway through.

Dam, I binge watched all your content in a day. Now all I can do is wait for your new videos. Keep up the fantastic work! I love everything you do :)

Do you have kids or was it a dream date? Either way I'm jealous. LoL

I worked at goodwill for a few years and I can honestly say their manufactured costumes are better quality than anything at spirit Halloween and literally 10% of the price.

Spirit Halloween execs after seeing this review: we should open a location in Chernobyl.

I need more retail store movies: a Dollar General war movie, an Office Depot grand space opera, an Old Navy roadshow musical...

That little girl was like “Sorry your dad died of bone cancer, why didn’t he just drink milk every day like normal bodied people?” 😂

Really wish they had a big enough budget to make that Spirit store a portal to a Halloween world with some refugees from Toys 'R Us. That would probably be a more interesting movie, but licensing would probably be a nightmare.

That Chinese buffet joke needs more recognition

There's an episode of Gravity Falls that follows a very similar premise and flow. Cept that was 22 minutes and enjoyable.

I used to be the middle school kid that used to go to high school parties. My local neighbourhood friends all happen to be older than me and i went to a different school system. I'd go to their parties and lie about my age if anyone asked. Then when i tried to brag about that stuff at my actual school, nobody would believe me lol

Congrats on the 100k subs, can I say one thing! In your videos you sometimes mention another content creator making "the same video" and that's the reason you don't make one one on the topic, but here's the thing! I've just discovered your channel in the past week and I've also just discovered this type of content, so I say do it! Even if others have made one on the same topic! Here's to a million-billion subs! :) :)

I'm glad you watched this "movie?" So I don't have to but still get to laugh at how terrible it is. And you can't blame Mr. Christopher Lloyd for taking the part. He's getting up in age and this was probably the easiest paycheck he got in a while. What he was on set for a few hours tops, probably memorized the lines on way to set and, well we saw the extent of his stunts. I don't care who you are, Lloyd is a fucking legend!

Me and my wife love your content Chris and are watching some of your older videos. We just realized that this movie was filmed in our town. First noticed the theater then realized the abandoned Toys R Us is ours too, and they do use it as a Spirit Halloween every year. Lol.

The old Toys R Us/Spirit Halloween and the DeSoto is in Rome, GA. It really did used to be a Toys R Us and is used as a Spirit Halloween every year. We got my kid's costumes there this past Halloween. Fun Fact, Vecna's house from Stranger Things is also in Rome.

Always great content Chris! You’re always my go to after a long day! Thank you and happy Halloween!
