Celebrate the darker side of these long winter nights. If Tim Burton can do it, insists Rotten Jack’s Creep Shack (5821 Transit Road, 681-7818), so can we. Jack Skellington fans no longer have to skulk around in the shadows, since the appropriately named Depew store stocks plenty of eerie yet endearing Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise. Fans of the movie’s stick-figure star will most certainly be chilled and thrilled to find an assortment of “Jack Head Ornaments” ($16), Jack Night Light ($6) and Jack plush toys ($15-$22) in their stockings. The Creep Shack also carries clothing and other crepuscluar collectibles from the 1993 hit film. If you want to decorate for Christmas with an NMBC theme, the “Santa Jack Mini-Bust” ($30) or NMBC Christmas Tree ($60) is sure to put a ghoulish grin on guests’ faces. Of course, spooks of all kinds would appreciate a gift certificate for masks, makeup, costumes, props and body parts at this year-round homage to Halloween. If you’re too scared to head out into the snow, shop online at www.happyhauntings.com.
