I don't know that it's happening as much around here, but in some places at least, Haloween is becoming quite the big adult party holiday.  I remember spending one Haloween in DC, and taking the Metro to Dupont Circle for supper.  Now, I won't say the escalator into the Dupont Circle station is <i>long<\/i>, but I will say that after you're on it for a while, you expect to see an <i>Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here<\/i> sign.  Of course, what goes down also comes up, and being on that escalator behind 20-somethings costumed as naughty nurses and \"wicked\" witches is, um, <i>inspiring<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, I'm fine with a Haloween store, but I do have to cavil a bit about the timing.  I mean, <i>come on<\/i> Haloween is the <i>last<\/i> day of October -- that's two and a half months from now!  If you're in the mood to pick out a Haloween costume now, you're probably one of those annoying folks who already have all your Christmas cards written..<\/p>\n<p>And oddly enough, this was the second Haloween store I saw today.  There's one setting up on US-1 out near I-26 as well!<\/p>\n<p>\"I got a rock\".<\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE 11 March 2011<\/b>:  Updated the closing date based on the comments.
