Spirit Halloween 2025: South Dakota Store Locations

I'll never understand the people that complain about holiday stuff showing up in stores too early. First of all, who cares? If October is too soon for Christmas decorations for you, then don't buy them. Ignore them until whatever date is appropriate for you.

If I had my way there would be Halloween decorations in stores year-around. I would redecorate my home in full Halloween style if I could. My family would go along with it, we are all weirdos.

Halloween Starts Now

I'd totally drink out of some witchy goblets in May. My wardrobe is mostly black already, so adding that color to the rest of the house is not a huge leap for me.

I'd been thinking about this lately because it's august and that means it's time for the annual celebration of empty retail space known as the opening of the local Spirit Halloweens in South Dakota.

Spirit Halloween is a Halloween superstore. It's the kind of store a certain kind of kid dreamed of. Me, I was that certain kind of kid. All Halloween and so much cool stuff. Costumes, décor, and so much cool Friday the 13th branded stuff! It sure puts to shame the one poster of Jason Voorhees I had in my room in the 80s. So awesome.

Spirit Halloween opens around 1,500 seasonal locations each fall, or late summer if you want to be like that. The day the Spirit Halloween opens in your town is like the first snow of Christmas. It signals that the good times are here, if only for a bit.

2025 Halloween Costume Trends

I looked around for clues to what will be the big Halloween costumes in 2025,. So far trends show that you'll probably be seeing lots of Elphabas and Glindas, plenty of Art the Clown, Bluey, Lilo and Stich, and that Squid Games mask.

IDK, Art the Clown seems way less disturbing than the adult Bluey sidekick. (Image: Spirithalloween.com)
