Orange and black is the new red and khaki at Target this fall, where the stores have been transformed into the go-to destination for tricks, treats and all things spooky.  The Halloween 2013 assortment  includes a limited-time-only designer wig collaboration with Chris March, creative costumes for kids and pets, accessories for adults, ghoulish décor and, of course, incredible values on candy.

“Halloween is such a fun time of year for kids and kids at heart.  At Target, we love seeing the creativity and energy that goes into costumes and neighbourhood decorations each year,” said John Morioka, senior vice president, merchandising, Target Canada.  “We want our Canadian guests to know that Target is the wallet-friendly destination for Halloween this year.”
