Spookaloo Halloween Art Show Spokane has a plethora of independent bookstores, but none of them are quite like Giant Nerd Books. Located in the Garland District, this one-of-a-kind gem of a bookstore carries comics, occult books, vintage reads and an entire wall dedicated to horror books — so it’s no surprise that it also hosts Spokane’s largest Halloween-themed art show. Though the store carries local oddities and art year-round, “Spookaloo” is when the creepy crawlies really come out and shine. Find work from featured artists like Damon Bauer, Mikal Vollmer, Izzy Comito, Chad Scheres, Ashley Mileson and the Inlander’s own graphic designer/artist Derrick King, plus others. Don’t forget to bring a brave-souled friend in case you need a hand to hold.
