The thing I miss the most?
Scaring the **** out of people, and hot chicks trying on the Legs Ave costumes.

The manager is there all the time by the season end Im sure he is worn out, he has his father work for him, that old guy is great he knows nothing but he sure is helpful always asking his son my questions.

Our nearest one (before this one opened) is 2 hours away also but we are going to go this Saturday. The same lady owns this one and if she is in the store, we are going to give her quite an earful!

I never did hear back from Spirit about my complaints.

I still haven't heard back from Spirit about the local store. But tomorrow we are going to drive the 2 hours to the big Spirit store that we go to every year. That town also has a Halloween Express, a Halloween Headquarters, a Spencer's, 2 Targets, 2 Walgreen's, 3 Walmarts and 2 Party City's!

*sings* And a partridge in a pear treeeeeee!!!

I'm so excited. I'm taking about 10 of the 20% off coupons that I printed out. lol!

Spirit is owned by Spencers Gifts.

They care only for money.

I do Special F/X Makeup and worked with them. They are very difficult. They got me so fed up with their unprofessionalism that I went to Halloween Express.

I do not work for Halloween Express. They work with me.

They allow me to accept tips. They pay me an hourly wage.

I like them so much that I am thinking of partening

a Franchise.

We had a Halloween Express open right near our house in a closed CVS pharmacy store next to our Kroger(Nashville/Hermitage, TN). We talked to them a while tonight, very nice people.
I mentioned this thread and they thought it must be our local spirit guy, they said he is always rude to customers and hates everyone. But that he was in a wheelchair, and has always done Nashville's store.
I think I remember him from 2 years ago, but he didnt bite me, so no biggie...if I had the time I'd love to work for the HE people, but its my busy season plus getting the haunt ready, no time.
