Spirit Halloween Unleashes ‘Trick ‘r Treat’ and ‘Killer Klowns’ Snow Globes for Halloween!

Published

If you’ve been into your local Spirit Halloween these last few years you’ve probably noticed a growing selection of merchandise based on both Trick ‘r Treat and Killer Klowns from Outer Space, two beloved properties that have become big-time moneymakers for the Halloween superstore. Sam and the Klowns are everywhere these days, and we sure love to see it.

A whole bunch of brand new goodies are up for grabs this year, and Spirit Halloween has even turned both Trick ‘r Treat and Killer Klowns into fun Halloween snow globes!

Now available in stores and online, the “Unmasked Sam Snow Globe” and the “Shorty Snow Globe” are officially licensed collectibles made of high quality polyresin and glass.

The Trick ‘r Treat snow globe ($24.99) features a base that looks like Sam’s costume, with Sam’s unmasked head floating inside, while the Klowns globe puts Shorty inside a replica of the 1988 horror-comedy’s cotton candy gun. The Klowns snow globe is a bit pricier at $44.99, but that’s probably because it comes to life with an “on” switch that spins Shorty around.

Both globes of course feature glittery “snow” flakes that rain down inside.
