Spirit Halloween, the largest seasonal Halloween retailer, is the nation's destination for everything you can imagine for Halloween. Celebrating several years, Spirit Halloween was created out of the early observation of a Halloween trend on the verge of explosion. Since the opening of their first store in 1983, Spirit has experienced significant growth. In 1999 Spirit operated 63 seasonal locations throughout the United States and was acquired by Spencer Gifts LLC. Since its acquisition, Spirit has grown to over thousands of locations throughout the United States, Canada and online.
