Get ready to join the party, Spirit fans, because Spirit Halloween is back and better than ever for the 2023 Halloween season! With each passing year, our creative teams have continuously raised the bar, crafting astonishing in-store experiences that leave you in awe. And this year is no exception! We can’t wait to unveil the spectacular surprises they have concocted. As an added bonus, we are thrilled to be celebrating Spirit Halloween’s 40th anniversary!
Unveiling the Thrilling Journey: Spirit Hallows Cemetery
Step inside any of our Spirit Halloween locations nationwide and brace yourself for an exhilarating adventure like never before. Our exceptional creative teams have dedicated countless hours to bring you one of our most unforgettable experiences yet, paying homage to our remarkable 40-year journey as Spirit Halloween.
In the year 2020, we dared to venture into the terrifying and haunted Reaper’s Island, a dwelling place for eerie creatures and sinister characters. Explorers of this island were rewarded with the discovery of Reaper’s Island Village and the enigmatic secrets concealed within Reaper’s Island Cave.
The following year, in 2021, we took you on an exclusive tour inside the Spirit Halloween Factory, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of our famous animatronics.
Then, in 2022, we delved into the mind of Dr. J Reaper and invited you to witness the twisted creations that sprung forth from his secret Monster Laboratory. This display showcased some of the most twisted and macabre amalgamations we have ever conjured.
Now, with our enhanced architecture, mesmerizing lighting effects, and the inclusion of various outdoor elements, we welcome you to the acclaimed Spirit Hallows Cemetery in honor of our 40th anniversary! This fan-favorite in-store experience has been revamped and improved for the 2023 season. Prepare to be enthralled by what lies within!
