Spirit Halloween Stores 2024: Where To Find One In Pittsburgh Area

PITTSBURGH, PA — Halloween still is more than two months away, but that doesn't mean you can't get into the spirit of the spooky season now.

Spirit Halloween stores have begun opening in and around Pittsburgh. The pop-up stores, which usually appear in vacant mall and shopping center storefronts between August and November, sell the creepy and ghoulish accoutrements that help make the Halloween season scary.

Need a frightening costume? You'll find one at a Spirit.

Need a 400-watt fog machine to unnerve your trick-or-treaters? You can get one at Spirit.

Need a six-foot tall, knife wielding animatronic Michael Myers from the "Halloween" movie series? Spirit has one.
