hi guys i can't believe it's that time of the year already but i've been checking the website and
spirit halloween in vancouver is officially open i've been doing a media blackout so i haven't seen
what's in store i can't wait to check it out let's go explore all right spirit is open all right
right at the door got some animatronics this is lord raven
first thing in the door let's check it out hit that pad for me
lord raven pretty creepy a bit of a hunchback let's see over here
we've got possessed pumpkin let's see what this guy does
i need a skeleton or two for my haunted house yours looks just about right
another big guy this guy's pretty big as well he's probably about eight feet tall
he's got a giant pumpkin head and some claw hands so far so good this year's theme we're entering
dr j reaper's monster laboratory okay here we go a little bit spooky got a couple of guys here crazy
scare in the middle of the day okay this is young crow chief you remember crouchy from a couple of
years ago this is young crochet and he's not too big he's about three or four feet tall
and he's not moving yet but on the wall i see a switch i'm gonna flip the switch there we go
all right young crouchy let's see over here
barry looks like this year's ghoul berry shaking back and forth in the cage
get some dirty withered little feet there pretty quiet guy i guess he's been in that cage a while
also notice they've got lots of theming here in the laboratory some lighting effects up above
i like these bubble lamps
giving a eerie glow and i guess we better watch out for vampire bats this looks like another new
one this is bog zombie i don't remember seeing him before so he must be new for 2022. hit it
another animatronic returning this year it's shorty
shorty of course from the cult film the killer clowns from outer space pretty cool a couple
decorations returning from last year i remember grim you best be careful where
you dread on this dark night you don't know who you will run into creatures and creepy crawlies
and he was on the website last year i don't know if we actually saw him in store he has
quite a bit of motion not only do his eyes light up and his mouth is moving but he's wiggling his
torso back and forth swinging his arms around so i'm glad that we got to see that in action
here at the specimen testing lab i love it this year they've got
tons of stuff set up tons of lighting effects and everything it really adds to the whole
atmosphere i mean turn out the lights and this would be an awesome haunted house
and over here i recognize this guy this guy was actually one that i purchased last
year and did an unboxing video this is mr dark let's say hi to mr dark
mr dark super big scare as usual
when he leaps up he's about like 12 feet tall and
super imposing had a really good time setting off mr dark last year one of my favorites
more clowns here's nozzles the clown
this will probably make you live longer
ah awesome so he's not only animatronic he's got smoke effects built in
and lights and i guess he's a toxic clown that's pretty awesome i love it
nozzles the clown nice work
down here another creepy clown this is lucky bottoms
okay against better judgment i'm not going to keep out so let's head inside here
all right we've got diagrams on the wall miserable marie what's going on here
crazy oh that looks like the night crawler except animated
what do we got down here there's that crouchy junior guy we saw earlier
in oh that looks like big crouch i don't know if you can see him there oh no we just set something
off look out look out it's gone electric awesome they've got it set up yeah i can't believe this
this is so awesome they've got it set up the floor is actually vibrating the electric lights
are going off up above me we've got creatures on either side that is one awesome display
it's just so awesome to see spirit halloween back with the vengeance this year
after last year this the shelves were looking kinda bare and it was really tough to find any
of the good merchandise this year they've got everything totally done up different themed room
different areas lots of lighting effects this is so cool and looking terrifyingly possessed
it's regan your mother's in here would you like to be the message i'll see that she gets it
creepy classic head turning around and behind oh did you catch that
she's actually got a projector in her back and it's projecting back onto the wall behind
very cool double the effects another little animatronic here's betty sharp
just stick your head in your hands
did you just threaten me oh you do have a bag down there i wonder if it's full of heads
and just noticed i didn't catch this the first time because i was filming but actually look at
this mommy lets me do all the chopping right down here i don't know if you can see it but the bag
that she's holding that she said has heads in it actually moves collecting things can i show you
my collection it's a nice little added touch little jump scare here's bag of bones hit it
he may be little but he's got super quick action
he pops out of there so fast nice little jump scare
and over here another mini jump scare this is little skelly bones hiding behind the post there
whoa another quick pop-up they really got the quick pop-up action going there
of course it's not a visit to the spirit without trying the jumping spider
luckily he was blocked by the fence this year but classic scare
and i spotted him over in another corner of the store i'm not sure what his name is but
that's like a classic horror trope uh the monkey with the symbols
but it reminds me of the stephen king's story something about a monkey that granted wishes and
loved the stephen king short stories and here he is except six feet tall so cool
of course the big animatronics are awesome but they've also got some
tiny terrors here's billy butcherson sidestepper
down here uh familiar face here's a sam side stepper
very familiar sound sounds the same as the big animatronics that they had last year
they do have some pretty good stock right now here's a man's possessed friend
i don't see one out on display but they have a bunch in boxes
very cool section all with haunted mansion merchandise of course one of my favorite
disney rides now i can decorate my home the same way we've got welcome foolish mortals wreath
the classic haunted mansion plaque i love that sturdy too tomb sweet tomb
there we go from regions beyond
and down here there's a lantern decorated with each of the stretching room murals
each side has a different mural on it
that's a great decoration
haunted mansion that way graveyard that way beware of hitchhiking ghosts i guess they're right
up here you can see the three of them on that decoration down here a haunted mansion notebook
it's got a big plaque on the front very cool the pages are those are quality pages they've
got the silver siding on it and down the bottom some hitchhiking ghosts i love this merchandise
so down here there's a haunted mansion plate with the hearse out front that you see at the
haunted mansion in disneyland i see the hanging bat singing ghosts from the graveyard the magnet
set right there i guess if you decorated your home with all this you'd have wall-to-wall creeps
or snuggle up in a haunted mansion throw rug down there
and i think i missed out on this last year i saw some they had some great
haunted mansion mugs last year i might just have to pick one of these up because
that is a cool themed haunted mansion mug i love it or this one's good too look at that it's
got all the singing busts on it there haunted mansion
or even one that says welcome foolish mortals that one's got a bit of a shine to it and of course
it's got the classic haunted mansion rolly crump wallpaper behind it oh i am so tempted i don't
know how i'm going to decide and over here's the ghost with the most it's the beetlejuice section
got the beetlejuice ad for the bio exorcist beetlejuice plush is over there
the beetlejuice sign they've got a beetlejuice reversible plush throw
don't read this sign out loud or else you know what's going to happen and
remember that oh hey look the handbook for the recently deceased and of course the classic
stretch stretched faces i don't know what you call those masks but they've got light up mini heads
love beetlejuice another one of my favorites this is the nightmare before christmas section
all sorts of nightmare before christmas merch got jack skellington and sally there halloweentown
plaque even some wall decor you got jack on there very cool floor mat welcome to halloweentown
hail the pumpkin king oogie boogie roll the dice you got a paradise down the bottom there or
i like that oogie boogie mug very cool or you can play some boogie boogie operation
nightmare before christmas operation except it looks like instead of body parts you're
pulling out other stuff a bat his dice a deck of cards other spooks and i spot it out of the
corner of my eye they've got some masks from the classic movie monsters the universal movie
monsters there's frankenstein right there down here creature from the black lagoon
i like to see the classic universal monsters getting some love
you could treat your kids to one of these creepy dolls got sam from trick or treat down there
over here why not terrify them with a chucky doll and up here
why not go all out and get one of these possessed annabelle dolls terrifying
look at these these are so cool vintage retro 50th anna 50. it says lucasfilm 50 years so i guess
50th anniversary star wars uh masks these are so vintage there's a there's a darth vader there
and up here we've got a yoda and if i recall i can't i'll have to check my memory but i believe
that uh one of the kids in et when they went out for halloween
was wearing one of these vintage yoda masks
oh and i like these vintage lunch boxes too hocus pocus killer clowns from outer space
we've got uh jack skellington nightmare before christmas or hogwarts if you're into that
but more classic scooby-doo would have been a cool kid in the day with one of these scooby-doo
lunch boxes or gremlins although technically gremlins is a christmas movie hey golden girls
