Step inside any of our Spirit Halloween locations nationwide and brace yourself for an exhilarating adventure like never before. Our exceptional creative teams have dedicated countless hours to bring you one of our most unforgettable experiences yet, paying homage to our remarkable 40-year journey as Spirit Halloween.
In the year 2020, we dared to venture into the terrifying and haunted Reaper’s Island, a dwelling place for eerie creatures and sinister characters. Explorers of this island were rewarded with the discovery of Reaper’s Island Village and the enigmatic secrets concealed within Reaper’s Island Cave.
The following year, in 2021, we took you on an exclusive tour inside the Spirit Halloween Factory, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of our famous animatronics.
Then, in 2022, we delved into the mind of Dr. J Reaper and invited you to witness the twisted creations that sprung forth from his secret Monster Laboratory. This display showcased some of the most twisted and macabre amalgamations we have ever conjured.
Now, with our enhanced architecture, mesmerizing lighting effects, and the inclusion of various outdoor elements, we welcome you to the acclaimed Spirit Hallows Cemetery in honor of our 40th anniversary! This fan-favorite in-store experience has been revamped and improved for the 2023 season. Prepare to be enthralled by what lies within!

The columbarium itself acts as the final resting place for past animatronics, their references subtly interred within.
