Now A Major Texas City Won’t Get Their Spirit Halloween Store This Year

THERE IS AN UPDATE TO THIS ARTICLE!

Click UPDATE to learn about the new details.

It's going to shock a lot of East Texans when they learn that the largest city in the region will not be receiving at least one Spirit Halloween store this year, especially when they're accustomed to shopping at two or three locations in the past several years.

Tyler will not have a single Spirit Halloween store this year.

While I was working on this article I noticed on the Spirit Halloween website that there was not a single location listed for Tyler, Texas. I decided to call the customer service number listed on the website and after speaking with a representative she confirmed that there were no locations listed in the Rose City for the 2024 Halloween season.

However, that all could change, so if you happen to see a location pop up please email me and let me know and then I'll update this article.  I know many people are going to be surprised by this news.

In the meantime, ghosts, goblins, ghouls, superheroes, doctors, nurses, villains, cheerleaders, cowboys, football players, pop stars, princesses, clowns, aliens, werewolves, and countless other very imaginable creatures will be out ringing your doorbell saying 'Trick Or Treat' in hopes of receiving a full-sized candy bar on Halloween night.

Before those creatures hit the streets to find the candy jackpot, they must first decide upon what they're going to be dressed up as.

With the big night just two-and-a-half months away, at the time of this writing, it'll be here before you know it. There is plenty of time to narrow down and perfect that Halloween costume that you have in mind.

You can go about creating your own costume from things you have around the house, or you can create a look by purchasing items from a local thrift store, or go all out and get the full-themed costume from one of the largest Halloween retailers in the US, Spirit Halloween.

Spirit Halloween will have anything you need to complete your look. From fake blood to fangs and horns, to glitter spray hair color, wigs and masks to armor and weapons, wings, and all kinds of fake jewelry. It's the perfect accessory place if you're creating a look from scratch.

If you don't have the creative gene in you, you can always purchase a full costume with all the accessories included!

The familiar black yellow and orange Spirit Halloween signs are popping up around East Texas. Two locations, Longview and Lufkin, are already open for spooky season, but nothing in Tyler.

Spirit Halloween stores can be found in these East Texas locations:

• Tyler: NONE (at the time of creating this article, none were listed on the website)
• Longview: 1207 E Marshall Ave (US Hwy 80) near Super 1 Foods
• Lufkin: 4600 S Medford Dr (Lufkin Mall) formerly Sears
