Spirit Halloween Store 2010

September 9th, 2010 by John Wolfe

Spent a few hours in paradise a couple of days ago… well, paradise for a Halloween fanatic anyway. I’m in my mid-30s, yet I still get butterflies just walking through Spirit Halloween’s doors! As always, Chris (the owner of all three Albuquerque Spirit locations) and the employees were tremendously kind and helpful. I can’t say enough nice words about the people who work at my local Spirit shops.

Hope you enjoy the video tour. Just a heads up in case kids are watching alongside you: there’s some colorful language at the end of the vid, but I thought the clip was too funny to not include it (especially for a known potty mouth like me). :)

If you happen to be in the Albuquerque area and want to drop by Spirit Halloween, you’ll find them at 4610 Cutler Avenue, NE, (505) 872-2786 and at 1221 South Renaissance Blvd. NE (slated to open on Sept. 13th), (505) 872-2786.

On the west side, Spirit can be found at 10490 Coors Blvd. Bypass NW in the old Circuit City building — sorry, but I don’t have their phone number. If you go to the west side shop, ask for Harold (he’s the “Grim Greeter” in today’s vid entry), he’ll take good care of you.

Zombie Zombie

September 6th, 2010 by John Wolfe

Usually I steer clear of posting anything that contains violent acts — I love spooky stuff, creepy things and suspenseful horror, but I’ve always been unwilling to promote any depictions of violence or gore in my entries. However, tonight’s post does contain a little bit of those elements, but for the most part it’s minimal and only happens between toys.

Zombie Zombie is essentially a stop motion nod to John Carpenter’s The Thing, using G.I. Joe action figures. The sets are amazing in this film and the stop motion action is very impressive, especially considering the limitations of action figure limbs.

Yo Joe! They’re coming to get you (Barbara)!
