Spirit Halloween Fires Back at SNL Over Season 50 Sketch

The Halloween retailer clapped back at the sketch comedy show after being mocked in a skit during SNL's milestone season premiere.

  • SNL's season 50 premiere included a sketch that poked fun at Spirit Halloween's business model and product quality.
  • The sketch depicted Spirit Halloween as a store that revitalizes abandoned buildings for six weeks before disappearing.
  • Spirit Halloween responded on social media with a mock costume package labeling SNL as an 'irrelevant 50-year-old TV show.'
  • The costume's packaging included jabs at SNL, listing 'dated references,' 'unknown cast members,' and 'shrinking ratings.'
  • The online feud entertained many, with some praising Spirit Halloween's response as funnier than the original SNL sketch.
