Spirit Halloween opens new store at American Dream

Since we’re now past Labor Day, I guess the spooky season has unofficially begun; Spirit Halloween stores have been popping up, and now the New Jersey-based retailer is getting a new location at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford.

According to a release from the company, Spirit Halloween

“the largest Halloween store in North America, is the premier destination for all things Halloween, offering one-stop shopping for everything from costumes to décor and party goods to accessories and its industry-leading selection of jaw-dropping animatronics. Spirit Halloween’s location at American Dream is a ghoulishly good time for the whole family as it offers complete selections of costumes and accessories for infants/toddlers, children, 'tweens, teens, and adults.”

The chain inspires such devotion that people actually camped out before the flagship store in Egg Harbor Township opened at the end of July; it has also spawned a movie, called “Spirit Halloween: The Movie,” which isn’t that clever a title, but it lets you know what it’s about.

Added Steven Silverstein, CEO of Spirit Halloween,

“This is a special time of year for Spirit Halloween, and we are thrilled to open our doors and welcome guests to our new location in American Dream. The store will have everything Halloween fans need to celebrate all season long and is perfectly suited alongside the entertainment and shopping options offered at American Dream.”

The store is now open at Court C, Level 3.

What would happen to NJ if we were attacked by nuclear weapons?

We used NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein to see what would happen if a nuclear warhead hit New York, Philadelphia, Washington or New Jersey.

The models show what would happen in aerial detonation, meaning the bomb would be set off in the sky, causing considerable damage to structures and people below; or what would happen in a ground detonation, which would have the alarming result of nuclear fallout. The models do not take into account the number of casualties that would result from fallout.
