The first of these locations will open on Oct. 18. Others will open in November. Some but not all of the locations will be converted Spirit Halloween stores.

"Spirit Christmas is a new concept for us, and we’re hopeful it will resonate with our customers. Our goal is to create a festive retail experience that captures the spirit of the season, much like we do for Halloween," the company said. "The flagship store in May’s Landing, NJ will open October 18, and all other locations will open in early November."

Earlier this year, Spirit Halloween announced that it planned to open a record 1,525 locations across the U.S. and Canada this year. The chain of stores has been known to move into abandoned storefronts once held by major retailers. Inside, stores are full of Halloween-themed decorations, costumes and candy.
