THE BIG
ORANGE TENT
IS BACK.

Western North Carolina's biggest and best Halloween store rises again September 12.

You can't
miss it. Nobody
misses it.

Tunnel Road, Asheville Mall parking lot. One glowing landmark, every season.

Every year
it comes back
hungrier.

More costumes. More props. More reasons to lose sleep.

Aisles
that whisper.

Costumes for adults, kids and pets — thousands deep, all season long.

A thousand faces. One tent.

Whatcha
gonna be?

Western North Carolina's Biggest & Best

One tent. One season.
Zero restraint.

Every September the orange big-top rises out of the Asheville Mall parking lot and fills with the largest Halloween selection in WNC — then vanishes like it was never there. Locals watch for it. Now you know why.

What's in the tent

Aisles of trouble,
wall to wall.

Costumes for adults, kids, plus sizes and pets. A mask wall that stares back. Wigs, weapons, fangs, FX makeup, animatronics and yard haunts — plus a budget accessory wall for building your own legend.

Robbie Wright raises the big orange tent every September and runs it himself until the day it vanishes. Not a franchise office. Not a call center. A local who knows the mask wall by heart and will walk you to the right one.

"If you can't find it in this tent, it doesn't exist in Western North Carolina."
