Spirit Halloween raised its pitchforks at 'Saturday Night Live,' which aired a sketch mocking the costume store during Saturday’s Season 50 premiere. America’s largest Halloween retailer reposted a video of the skit on X with the caption, “We are great at raising things back from the dead @nbcsnl.” A picture of a fake costume labeled “Irrelevant 50-year-old TV Show” designed like the garb sold in their stores was also featured in the post.
” The sketch in question featured Heidi Gardner, Chloe Fineman and Michael Longfellow performing as Spirit Halloween employees in a fake commercial. They referenced the store’s penchant for setting up shop in vacant retail spots, remarking, “We don’t see a dead-end town. We don’t see an abandoned Kmart. We see a spirit, a Spirit Halloween.
