Welcome to Maplewood-Sparta, where suburban streets are lined with shadows. Some say the 90s are dead and gone. But here, they linger. In velvet chokers and friendship bracelets, in haunted tunnels and November hayrides. They wait in thrift shop windows, in church basements, in a mean girl's Christmas curse, and in the hush after the cheering fades. So gather close for spooky campfire tales woven together stand by strand like a friendship bracelet. Each is tied to a different haunted 90s wearable: a leather jacket, a choker, a flannel . . . And to a holiday. We'll see you by the fire.
