Halloween is just days away, and it's getting downright spooky in Richland!

The former Albertson's store at 1320 Lee Boulevard will now be home to a new Spirit Halloween store. I saw a Richland Residents Facebook post earlier on Tuesday and had to get the details. So, I stopped by. Of course, what I saw was much the same on the outside. And, no mention of what's happening on the inside.

A couple of years ago, we asked what you would like to see in the abandoned building? We heard everything from Trader Joe's, to an indoor dog park. Never could we imagine a Spirit Halloween location. How exciting! I spoke with employee Jennifer Hawkins about details of the new store. She told me they literally build the store from scratch with a lot of teamwork.

What's Hot For Halloween Costumes This Year?

Hawkins says, "Deadpool is a big one, definitely. And it's always the usual generics. Witches and pirates are always good." After checking out Spirit Halloween's Facebook, it seems Beetlejuice may be hot, too.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
