Spirit Halloween Is Back From the Dead Here’s Where It’s Haunting Alabama in 2025
Like clockwork and perhaps a bit like a ghost slipping through a creaky door Spirit Halloween has once again emerged from the shadows, ready to transform Alabama’s empty storefronts into full-blown temples of spooky delight. The beloved seasonal retailer has announced its 2025 Alabama locations, and yes, they’re as wonderfully random and oddly nostalgic as ever.

This year, the pop-up juggernaut is expected to launch more than 1,500 stores across North America, with 20 of those popping up in Alabama—each one tucked into a now-vacant retail shell just waiting to be revived with aisles of plastic skeletons, fog machines, and enough fake blood to make a B-movie blush.
Founded in 1983, Spirit Halloween has become more than just a store—it’s a seasonal rite of passage. Whether you’re a last-minute costume scrambler or a devoted decorator who starts planning in July, you know the thrill of walking into that familiar orange-and-black wonderland. Over the decades, it’s inspired everything from cult memes to SNL sketches, proving its grip on our fall imagination.
And for Alabamians, the 2025 lineup is delightfully diverse:

If you're wondering when these ghostly doors will creak open, expect many of them to be fully operational by October 1, 2025, just in time for the height of spooky season. Some may open even earlier, especially as Halloween continues to balloon into a months-long celebration of all things eerie.
And in case you’re itching for a road trip, Spirit’s flagship store in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, officially opened on August 1, 2024—marking the unofficial start of spooky season across the U.S.
Whether you're hunting down the perfect costume, loading up on animatronic werewolves, or simply basking in the delightful weirdness that is Spirit Halloween, 2025 looks like another strong year for spooky retail resurrection.
