It's almost like a tradition to go in and shop or window-shop at Spirit Halloween! This was our…read morefirst time at this location. We came in the day before Halloween and boy was it crowded !! They had a good selection - the usuals - but we ended up not getting anything as the lines were long for checkout . Really appreciate the girl who greeted us as we came in and went out !

Dark and unfinished... it's like they rolled up and are just squatting in this space. Ohhh wait…read more.. that is pretty much what they do. It is big though... lots of selection and they are running some specials already. However when I was looking with my boys for their costumes... we found what my oldest wanted... it was $80 in his size... but the larger ones of the same costume were $70?!? Same exact costume... same manufacturer, same stuff in it, but $10 difference between the smaller and the larger sizes. I asked what was the deal and the guy looked them up... all he could say was yep... that's it... that's how they are priced. What?!? Seriously?!? It made zero sense! However being the dad I am... and my boy really wanting it... we bought it... in my mind they should have marked it down by the $10... but there was not even an offer of that. Any way... they did have a great selection of all things creepy...

A year later and this location still has the nicest employees! You walk in and are immediately…read moregreeted and it feels genuine and very welcoming! Everything is neat, organized, and their displays are looking really great. Definitely eye catching! I love that they all work and you get to press the buttons as much as you'd like. It's really made Spirit Halloween more of an experience shop rather than just a holiday store.

Meh. Long lines, high prices, and poorly crated costumes (had to return due to a broken zipper)…read more On the plus side, they carry things that I can't find anywhere else and are well stocked.

A small Halloween shop near the Chuck E. Cheese that I've never seen before! There are a few other…read morelocations in Texas, but this is the first one I have been to. It's really small, it's got a decent selection of costumes and decor, but it almost looks like it's not completely put together yet. The animatronics seemed a bit overpriced in comparison to other local Halloween stores but they were different from what I've seen before. I purchased some window clings for my toddler's bedroom that I'm actually really happy about but I'm not sure if I will go back to purchase anything else. Also, when did fake spiderwebs become eight dollars!? That's crazy!

Way over priced. Like, double prices of spirit. Nope. Seemed like less things to choose from, very…read morepoor selection.

Halloween Express is no longer located on Slaughter Lane. As you know, these stores tend to move…read morearound each year. Halloween Express has two locations in Austin for the 2018 season. One store is located in the Arboretum Crossing shopping center in the former Toys R Us space, just a few doors up from Dave & Busters (where Mopac Expressway and 183/Research Blvd meet). Their other location is located right beside the Austin Aquarium, at the intersection of 183/Research Blvd and Anderson Mill road. They have just about everything. Its amazing the amount of Halloween merchandise they carry (really friendly and helpful staff too). Nice to be treated like a valued customer - don't see much of that these days in other stores. Just had to share my great experience. Kudo's to Halloween Express for doing it right!

Why is it that consumers are being shoved into celebrating Halloween...it is not a holiday, not…read morepopular for all and so absurd to decorate everywhere. Not all the public wear or enjoy or participate in this ridiculous expense. A shopping experience should be for all and simple. Other stores don't overrun the entire place with such decor. People have their own stigma, mental illness (example:PTSD, bipolar, autism) that they should not have to endure such horrid triggers to their shopping exploration. That's why so many companies just chose to keep it to a minimum on the decor and horror for everyone's health.sad, goodwill does not offer good will towards all.

They have a TON of stuff at this location, but most of it isn't really that great. Their prices are…read morevery, very high, considering. Pants average $10 and shirts average $5. Shoes are super expensive too. Having moved from California, my local Salvation Army was extremely cheap. $2 shirts, $3 pants. I guess I just don't really understand why everything is so expensive, given that the inventory is donated. The quality of the clothing is nothing spectacular, either. I guess I'm just really not impressed with this particular Goodwill. I think I will give the Salvation Army a try.

My favorite destination for Halloween. This year's theme appears to be clowns. Ehhh.... Not my…read morefavorite theme. But every year they come out with at least one really nice animatronic that's with the price. Things can get spendy, so I highly advise discretion lol. I tend to get carried away. They didn't have a Yelp page so I made one!! The stores locations vary year to year so I hope this helps

I was with two kids and they make me ti have a hard time in front everyone. The worst day of my life. Not recommended at all for anyone. Poor service ! Bad customer service! They are racist people and not listening to you at all.
