What Happened to Spirit Halloween?

This editorial-style video offers a candid personal take on the current state of Spirit Halloween as a company, arguing that despite high price points the products fail to deliver genuine scares. Rather than covering leaked 2022 product images circulating online, the host focuses on broader concerns about the direction and quality of one of Halloween's most recognizable retail brands. It sits squarely in the opinion and industry-commentary space rather than being a hands-on review or build tutorial.
