Thread: Anyone familiar with Halloween City?

Tweet

The abandoned Circuit City building that Spirit has occupied for the last 2 years is going to be home to a Halloween City this year - I'm nervous. Never heard of them. Anyone familiar with the store? Am I in for a treat, or is it going to completely suck?

We have Halloween Adventure's around here, and those are 90% costumes, and 10% utter crap

I have Halloween City's near me for the past year or two. There is some decent stuff and a lot of not so decent. It is worth a shot to go.

Ya were getting one here in Reno for the first time...interested to check it out

One is opening soon down the road from me. First time I saw one here.

I wouldn't buy anything from any of these stores without a coupon, and if you want to put the time in, make sure Walmart and Walgreens don't have the exact same thing for half the price anyway. But they do have a lot of cool stuff no one else will have. I've seen people mention that Spirit would have nifty displays set up while Halloween City was more like a plain store, but in my area Halloween City was the one that had a huge front entrance done up with a cemetery scene and the bigger props on display while Spirit had a huge store 2 years ago and just had aisles, and had a tiny store last year and had mostly aisles with a zombie baby display.

Halloween Express felt more like a costume/party supply store.

Halloween City carries many tombstones, hanging ghouls, gory props, rats and giant bats, latex standing figures, products from the Gothic Collection, TONS of scene setters, a few life-sized props such as Jason, and a little more than half the store is usually costumes.

Last year they had many animatronics, such as the Tombstone Lifter prop, the Hovering Ghost, Insane Serial Killer, Zombie Babies, and more.

I think they are an affordable store, but they do offer coupons frequently.

Their return policy is a little shady...I don't really recall the exact circumstances...

We have those here. Mostly costumes too, but they have had a pretty good stock of lil stuff that's kind of hard to find, like small birds, spiders, and some pretty cool stuff I've never seen before like these little skellie spiders. Really freaking creepy lookin, ill try and find a pic. But you should def give them a look

We had one here the last couple years. First year they had their own spot then moved into Circut City the next year. Mostly costumes, undersized for store space, inattentave sales clerks, overprices by far. I walked in, spent about 15 min. and walked back out disgusted. Hope yours is a lot better then ours was.

yeah, check em out... they seem to have a little bit different of a variety.. double-triple check your props before buying... we bought a skeleton- and it was the only one there that wasn't damaged in some small way... (nothing big or terrible) it's just better to make sure you're grabbing the best one!

They do have some good stuff and some cheap. You can get coupons online from their site. They have no returns or exchanges. All sales final. Their only down fall. Before you buy something you can take it up to them and try it first. I did that with a mister thing with lights. Of course you can try on costumes too.
