Spooktober has arrived, folks. Pumpkins near and far are getting makeovers, and lines have gathered outside the doors of your favorite coffeeshops, where sugar-crazed, potentially basic customers wait for their steaming pumpkin spice beverages.

This Australian Tumblr user came in hot and generally beside themselves over the fact that these desolate buildings have existed, only to be possessed by the spirit of Halloween itself when the season rolls around. Check out some more gold from Tumblr with this Tumblr post about the lack of scientific integrity.

    Font - moonymango Follow Wait, so during non-halloween they are just empty? Like, they don't switch between seasonal decorations (like christmas, easter, etc), they just...close and wait for next year??? strawberrydragon Follow Yeah, it's not a permanent store.
