“We're great at bringing things back from the dead,” reads the post the store shared on X, the digital microblogging platform formerly known as Twitter.

A photo was attached to the post a costume honor SNL, what they called an “irrelevant 50-year-old TV show.” The costume's packaging also stated: “Dated references, unknown actors, and declining ratings.”

SNL's The Season 50 premiere with guest host Jean Smart featured a fake ad for Spirit Halloween, the costume shop that pops up in vacant retail stores in October.

“Times may be good on Wall Street, but communities on Main Street are struggling.” SNL's says Heidi Gardner in voiceover. “Closed stores, shuttered stores, empty parking lots… When hard times come, it’s easy to feel like no one cares.”

The fake ad continues: “But help is on the way, because when others leave, we show up.”

Spirit Halloween sets up shop in a vacant K-Mart and revitalizes the building, welcoming customers “for six weeks and then getting back on its feet.”

SNL's Chloe Fineman then says, “We are here, providing vulnerable communities with the things they need most: rash-inducing wigs, disposable fog machines, and famous character costumes customized just enough to avoid a lawsuit. “

The NBC show also parodied Spirit Halloween's employees and their short-term dealings.
