‘Made my 4-year-old cry,’ fumes Costco shopper as customers demand chain remove ‘scary’ decor – kids were ‘screaming’

MANY stores around the country have already started rolling out their annual Halloween decorations despite still being July.

Some customers who love the spooky season are excited about changing decorations while temperatures are still blazing in a movement called Summerween .

But other Costco customers are not thrilled by the decor, which many say caught them off guard and even scared their kids .

“Costco’s werewolf display made my 4-year-old cry,” said Allisa Beth on Facebook .

“Thanks, Costco,” she said sarcastically.

“And yes, I was a Karen today.

“I spoke to the assistant manager,” she continued.

“Maybe if they hear more complaints, they’ll take it down or at least move it to somewhere other than the MAIN aisle.

“We walked throughout the entire store with him saying ‘Is the scary thing coming again?,'” she said of her child’s response to the display.

“And THREE months before Halloween,” Beth said.

Others agreed with her and said they did the same.

“You’re not alone,” wrote Emily Best, another customer.

“There was no avoiding it,” Best said.

“You couldn’t even look the opposite direction, because there was another big creepy decoration directly across from it,” Best continued.

“Honestly it makes me livid,” said another.

“Why these stores put terrifying decorations up I will never understand,” she said.

“If it’s just for October, I’ll just avoid your store with my kids for a month,” she continued.

“But it’s July, this is insane,” she concluded.

What is Summerween?

Summerween is what people on social media are calling the new craze where stores start swapping out their summer decor for fall and Halloween themed decorations while still in the summer.

This year, Summerween has started in late July and is expected to last through the Halloween season through the end of October.

One comment thanked Beth for not only speaking up to store management but for her post that is now serving as a warning not to take her children into Costco.

“I don’t get the need for stores to put up decorations for the next holiday 3-4 months in advance at all,” she said.

Five days after the initial post, Beth announced in the comments on Tuesday that Costco took down the display.

Others in the comments celebrated with her as she shared the news.
