Did you know the U.S. has stores that just pop up for Halloween and then vanish? It was crazy to me to learn that that's really only a thing here and not anywhere else. (I also feel like the more I learn, the more it seems the U.S. goes really over the top with its holidays, but that's besides the point right now.) They just temporarily rent buildings with nothing else in them currently. This year, there was one like five minutes from my house, in a location that, when I was growing up, was an animatronic-themed pizza place! So kind of fitting that I got some accessories for my Foxy costume there.

Yeah I've vaguely heard about Spirit Halloween just popping up everywhere in the US... Definitely not a thing here.

I know that we have uhhhh pop up shops, charity shops and cafes and stuff but I don't believe they're the most common?? I think we had a pop up charity shop in the nearby town at some point but it was literally never open so I don't know what the point of that was.

Yeah though, generally, we don't have shops that only exist in certain seasons. We have travelling fairs that show up in different seasons but that's probably as close as we get??

Oh and the only time I've ever seen animatronic anything that wasn't a haunted house or something was the Rainforest Cafe in London. I am actually DEVASTATED that you guys have whatever the hell Chuck E Cheese is and we don't I think that would have been cool as fuck to have as a place to go to regularly
