Spirit Halloween stores typically begin opening in early August. For 2025, it is predicted that the flagship Spirit Halloween store will open on Saturday, August 2, with other stores starting to appear nationwide shortly thereafter. This follows the pattern from previous years, where openings occurred around late July to early August. Spirit Halloween store hours in past years have usually been from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, with Sundays closing earlier at 9 p.m. Stores usually remain open for a few days after Halloween, generally closing in early November. If you want to know the exact opening date of a specific local store, it is best to check the Spirit Halloween website closer to the date, as opening dates can vary by location. Also, the online store is available year-round for those who cannot wait until the physical stores open.
