New Yorkers are in the midst of the dog days of summer, but Empire State residents are already looking ahead. The first winter prediction is out, pumpkin season is approaching and Halloween stores are getting ready to open.

Recently, I was just to see a sign outside a store in Newburgh that highlighted Spirit Halloween returning to Newburgh.

The store is going to open up at its former site, next to Planet Fitness in the Mid Valley Shopping Center. Last year, the location was a Big Lots and residents of Newburgh had to travel to Middletown or Dutchess County to shop for Halloween.

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.
