A romantic tableau greets you in the front window of Gargoyles on the Ave: one skeleton on bended knee proposing to another. It’s always Halloween at Seattle’s prime emporium for goth decor, and the crumbled leaves scattered underfoot add to the autumnal atmosphere. Crammed like a macabre curio cabinet mostly with winged, googly-eyed stone beasts—from paperweights to four-foot-tall garden pieces—Gargoyles also offers Egyptian cats, sage wands, two-headed dolls, “Bat Boy” hoods, Jack Skellington Christmas ornaments, and oils, candles, and incense of all kinds.
