Halloween

Image

The corner storefront window of Mallatt's Pharmacy and Costumes on Monroe street is decorated with a Halloween display. Along the right side a cloth banner of a large jack-o'-lantern, bats, and a spooky castle fills up the entire window. Along the left, stickers of jack-o'-lanterns decorate the display of two onesies pajamas or costumes. A sign reads: "Halloween costumes rental & sales: accessories, wigs, make up, masks, hats, decorations. www.mallatts.com."
