Spirit Halloween Trailer: Haunted Costume Store Comes To Life In The Movie

The spookiest time of the year is upon us, and with it comes a new look at Spirit Halloween: The Movie, an upcoming film based on the ubiquitous pop-up costume shop.

The new teaser trailer shows a group of boys, played by Donovan Colan, Dylan Martin Frankel and Jaiden J. Smith, who decide to spend a night in an abandoned Spirit Halloween store, only to find out that its products and animatronics creatures came to life and set about pursuing them. The boys must work alongside Kate, played by Marissa Reyes, to defeat the ghost trapped in the store before midnight or he will possess one of them for eternity.

Spirit Halloween: The Movie stars Christopher Lloyd as Alec Windsor, a deceased man whose ghost possesses everything in the abandoned store and terrorizes the group of children. Rachael Leigh Cook also plays one of the boys’ mothers, Sue, who remarried after her husband recently passed away.

The film’s trailer premiered at the Spirit Halloween flagship store opening on July 30 before debuting online, with Colan, Frankel and Smith performing at the event. Directed by David Poag from a screenplay by Billie Bates. Hideout Pictures, Strike Back Studios, Particular Crowd and Film Mode Entertainment produced the film. The film was shot primarily on the grounds of an abandoned Toys R Us location in Georgia and production ran from late 2019 to November 2021.

The film will premiere on request on October 11th. Check out the full teaser trailer below.
