Positive, Spirit’s Christmas part additionally has non-horror vacation stuff too. However Creepmas enjoyable is the primary attraction, and the Halloween retailer has simply unleashed a swath of vacation gear that includes Santa Artwork the Clown as seen in Terrifier 3.

Additionally becoming a member of Artwork below the tree are Scream‘s Ghostface, Chucky, Regan from The Exorcist, and even Halloween icon Michael Myers.
