Whether you like it or not, fall is in the air and Halloween is right around the corner. In fact, Halloween stuff is already out at some stores!

Spirit Halloween opened its one and only location in Duluth this week, too! The store is in the Miller Hill Mall right across from Five Below.

See what I mean? Summer is basically over (sorry!) and this is when we start preparing for the next season ahead, before we get to that one season we really don't want to talk about.

Another great sign fall is near is when we get details about the Haunted Ship! The famous tourist attraction is one of the best and most talked about in the Northland.

This year, it is back in all its glory and with a fun new twist that I cannot wait for. This year the attraction kicks off on Thursday, October 3rd.

All About That Creepy New Twist....

This year, Haunted Ship organizers are rolling out something new for the 29th anniversary of the attraction: the Haunted Ship Creepy Crawl!

On opening night, the creatures and clowns that scare you to pieces on the Irvin will first take on the Aerial Lift Bridge, marching to the Haunted Ship to take their places.

If you want to take part, you can dress in your scariest costume and gain free entry into the attraction for the opening night only.

What Else Is New?

That's not the only new perk! There will also be more food and drink options to purchase, along with a bonfire. There will also be more discount days, with $20 admission the first full week of the haunt and each Thursday throughout its run.

There will also be a special VIP tent this year with cocktails and mocktails, special spaces and more.

Tickets + Be Part Of The Ship!

As always, you can be part of the fun. Reach out to hauntedship@decc.org to apply to be an actor and get more information.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
