Spooky Showcase! Check Out Inspiring Innistrad Store Décor

WPN stores show how they brought the haunting plane of Innistrad to life.

'Tis the season to get spooky! Before the release of Innistrad: Crimson Vow, we asked retailers to share the different ways they decorated to highlight the most sinister celebration of the century.

We were impressed by all the creativity! Here’s a selection of the most innovative ways WPN stores made their Innistrad-themed events stand out.

Decorating your store rewards the effort you put in, drawing more players through your doors. Plus, exciting event additions like photo ops and tasty treats encourage your regulars to bring their friends along for extra fun.

Dressed to Impress

What's a vampire wedding without dressing to the nines? These stores encouraged staff and players to dress up for the occasion, and everyone was eager to participate.

At Cape Fear Collectibles, players could take photos with the vampire of the hour at this gorgeous backdrop.
