Like it or not, it’s the time of year when all things spooky and scary come out; Halloween is just around the corner.
EAST STROUDSBURG, Pa. – There was no shortage of suits or customers inside Frazetta’s Suits on Washington Street in East Stroudsburg on Monday.
Masks, wigs and more – the store has all things Halloween and shoppers are ready!
“I love Halloween and all, so I got a ‘Halloween 3’ skeleton mask, and then I got the new ‘Halloween Kills’ Michael Myers mask as well,” Cole Fetterman said.
“Costumes, decorations and candy,” said Arthur Heivly.
The stores have been busy with people buying Halloween costumes since August. Owner Bill Frazetta says the store is on track to beat last year’s sales.
“All last year, because other businesses that couldn’t get their product and I had inventory, so I attracted a lot of people from far away, and they liked the store so much that they’re coming back and word of mouth with them too,” Frazetta said.
While supply chain issues and inflation may have taken a toll on the store, Frazetta says it has everything you need for a safe and fun Halloween.
“A lot of things have been delayed because my companies haven’t been able to get their product. So now, a lot of things have been poured in at the last second, so it’s become really difficult for me and my staff.”
The two hottest costumes this year are ‘Scream’ and Michael Myers.
As for celebrating the holiday this year, people say they can’t wait.
“I feel like it’s going to be a good one because now with the COVID over and everything, everybody’s going to feel more prepared for everything,” Fetterman said.
Frazetta’s Costumes is open seven days a week year round.
