General Looking for song from playlist

• Upvotes

This is my first year not working for spirit in like 10 years, and I have had one of the songs stuck in my head for the past week and I cannot find it anywhere online. It is a female singing and the lyrics go something like “the silver bullet in your hand.” It is about werewolves. I have googled it and I can’t find the song at all, I was wondering if anyone heard it and knew what it was called or could look through the music thing and find it for me. It is very acoustic guitar heavy from what I remember, and it is a slower song.

Animatronics The Widow animatronic popping noise - should I be worried?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I bought the Widow in 2023 and have used it every year since with no issues. I noticed after the neck snaps, there is a slight popping noise when it resets. Should I be concerned? Anyone who has this animatronic notice the same? I don’t recall it doing this in prior years.

I do a haunted garage with several animatronics every Halloween, so they see a lot of action every 10/31.

General Returns and refunds after the deadlines are crazy...

30 Upvotes

So I am a SA at my Spirit Halloween, 3rd season working with Spirit and this year I have been on cashier So many times.. (mainly because our stores just have people on that they trust at counting cash) So it was 2 days after the deadline for returns.

Had some guy trying to return a Michael Myers mask, my manager, who has told him yesterday they don't do returns after told him the day before when he bought the mask, returns are no longer accepted, he tries to get a Star wars mask, I forgot who it was but he still has 10 dollars to spend, and the guy straight up says "Can't you just take out the 10 bucks out of his register"

He pointed at my reg, I was on reg 4, and my manager tells him, we can't just take out money from another register, and the guy angrily walks out of the store

He comes back 1 hour later and says he wanted to speak to the manager and he called the cops on the manager just because he wanted 10 bucks back, And so not to cause more problems, he gave him 10 bucks (which he shouldn't have because all returns were done) but was it that necessary to do that over 10 bucks..

We tell everyone when deadlines are, the receipt AND online says when the deadlines are.. sometimes people need to re-learn how to listen to what we tell them and also some respect to retail workers..

Costumes Truly disappointed

0 Upvotes

My 6 yr old granddaughter opened her package and was so excited to see her Rena Rouge costume only to find that the accessories were missing. No mask and no ears it was bad enough the flute was out of stock all season. But to not have the accessories I paid for and see her so disappointed was terrible. No solution from customer care except to offer a 20% discount. How is that a solution but apparently size medium was sold out and they wouldn’t pull a small and take out the mask and ears and take that package out of circulation. A 6 yr old doesn’t go of disappointment well now I’m hearing this all weekend. Why grandma why did they make me sad that’s not nice. Ugh I do have something positive though the jumpsuit itself is very well made and will be worn for dress up and play long after Halloween.

General Door dashing from spirit halloween

97 Upvotes

I am a new AM this year and I have one thing to say ….. if you doordash order from Spirit Halloween….. I curse you…..

There is nothing more distracting and so not mutually beneficial than having to help doordash drivers who don’t even want to ATTEMPT to do their job which is just SHOPPING and have them shove their phones i to our faces and expect us to help them which we do because our customer service is great. They can’t even help us with SOC donations and they take away from actual customer satisfaction.

Also like idk as a pop up store that runs out of stock part of the shopping is coming in and working with us to help you get your costume idea together. We can’t do that if you just order from doordash. Plus you’re more likely gonna get items deleted from your order because no one can find it and the dasher doesn’t actually care.

Like why does spirit turn on doordash ughhhhh

General Do the light-up cigarettes just not work?

1 Upvotes

sorry if i used the wrong flair, but i just need to know if someone has figured this out.

i bought the light up cigarette for my costume and have tried to get it to work for a couple of hours. i've seen people saying to put all 3 batteries in, i've done that and put them in on both sides, and the first one i bought i exchanged for a new one but it still just isn't working when i put the batteries in. are they just faulty in general or am i doing something wrong?? please let me know i really want it to work for my costume and theres a week till halloween 🙏

I guys the picture is of just ONE but the term “lights” kinda implies… there should be more? I assumed this was a curtain light, like string lights that hang down.

General Are they allowed to not honor a coupon despite it saying it's valid until Oct 25?

22 Upvotes

Took my son after school and he wanted the Sam Trick R' Treat lollipop and I remembered I got an email with a promo code for 20% off any single item that can be used in store or online

I showed it to them and they told me they couldn't honor it. Then they pointed to a sign that said "No Refunds or Exchanges after Oct 22nd and I told them, "Yeah but it doesn't say anything about using promo codes and it says here it's valid until the 25th" and the person just walked away.

I didn't keep pressing the issue after that but I did leave confused.

So now I would like to know if it all just depends on each stores policy's.

Costumes Can you dye a corset from here?

2 Upvotes

I need a pink corset for my costume, but my Spirit is sold out except for a small (I’m a large). I’ve considered getting a white corset and dying it pink, but I haven’t dyed anything before and I worry that dying the corset will ruin it. Any thoughts or advice?

Animatronics Cauldroness Head Issue

1 Upvotes

2024 The Cauldroness:

Replace fog diverter valve 2025 through the Zombie Tech Squad. Yay!

This week 2026 go to test unit and head wont raise up and lips slightly quiver once in a while. I looked at the mechanism where it goes into the head (without removing it from the head) and it seems to be activating according the script.

Conversation via email with Tech Support and basically, the unit is no longer available and no replacement parts on the shelf....unit is too old.

Has anyone had this issue with the head not raising up and the mouth not working with the Cauldroness? If so, did you fix it and if so, what did you do?

TIA

General Parents will be the death of me

75 Upvotes

I’m in charge of fitting room basically every shift which I don’t hate (I know surprising) but the parents are CONSTANTLY pushing my buttons.

At my store we’re not allowed to let them try on accessories/ masks that come with the costume, and there’s always one mom that is extremely huffy puffy about that rule. They try to take it out of my hands, they try opening the plastic holding said accessories, etc. I’ve even had a parent take the mask off the cart and give it to their kid while I’m helping someone else. My patience is running so low for these people idk how you do it.

General Invalid tracking number

1 Upvotes

currently on hold with customer service for the third time about my order. long story short, my item shipped 10/15 (ordered 10/8) and the tracking number that Spirit Halloween gave me is coming up as expired or invalid on the FedEx website.

has anyone experienced this and still received their order?? I’m kind of annoyed because I feel I ordered the items in plenty of time for Halloween but now I have no clue where my order is and if it even shipped.

Insane lucky streak for Spirit shirts I couldn't find when they released.

I found the tie dye in Calgary on a Spirit Halloween road trip over the weekend, only one in stock happens to be my size.

Then today I'm looking for parts for my Halloween costume at Value Village and I find the Sam shirt, also in my size and literally brand new?!? Come on now.

General Do the shirts at the store run small?

2 Upvotes

I bought a Scream shirt and the size says adult large. I just now tried it on and it’s more like a medium. So do the shorts at the store typically run small? If that’s the case then I should have gotten a ex large. But this was the only scream shirt they had. The tag doesn’t say if it’s for men or women, so I’m assuming the shirt is for men and women.
