ROSS TOWNSHIP, Pa. (KDKA) – It’s Halloween – something people almost believe in. You wear a costume, get candy – or get admitted to a Halloween party.

Some planned their costumes weeks or months in advance. Others did just the opposite.

But at Spirit there are people who get into the Halloween spirit.

“This is his real first year trick-or-treating…so – he asked and he shall get!” said Shatera Ellis of Pittsburgh.

Ellis decided to let her son Dorian have his first trick-or-treating experience. Now it's time to find something to wear.

“I just want to scare people,” Dorian Ellis said.

Whether scary or playful, there are people today who are looking for the perfect costume.

“All I get is a cape with a hood,” said Ryan O'Rourke of North Allegheny.

“My little one here, Bri – she already had a Bluey costume,” said Tracy Fisher of Allison Park. “But with this very hot weather change we're coming here – and it looks like she picked up (Addams) on Wednesday.”

That sounds more like the scary time. It is the highlight for people at Spirit Halloween.

“I couldn’t even park in the lot – I had to park at the bottom just to get in early yesterday,” Caleb Ashbaucher, assistant manager at Spirit Halloween in Ross Twp. said.

Ashbaucher spends time cleaning up.

“Today it’s often just about helping customers find their items,” he said.

He says business will pick up again in the afternoon, but it won't be like it was Wednesday.

“Halloween itself tends to be something in between…we'll have something like noise and waves,” Ashbaucher said. “We’re also going to have a lot of – more downtime.”

Well – in the downtime before a big night, people feel good.

“I’m glad the weather is kind to everyone tonight,” Fisher said.

And for Dorian – he found what he was looking for. He is ready to have this experience – which he has never had before.

“I just wanted to try trick-or-treating for the first time … see what it was like,” he said.

Safe Kids Worldwide said you should make sure your child's costume is the correct size. It helps prevent trips and falls.

Also use face paint over masks if possible. Masks can limit children's visibility while trick-or-treating.
