Be aware of the local mask policy before entering Spirit Halloween stores or any other brick-and-mortar business, even with the coronavirus pandemic having passed its year-and-a-half mark. The County of Orange allows businesses to determine whether or not masks are required to walk through their front doors.

While Spirit Halloween does not specifically state masks are required for vaccinated customers, all employees — vaccinated and unvaccinated — are required to wear face coverings. The store also requires face coverings for all unvaccinated customers.

Hand sanitizer stations are posted at the store’s entrance, and plastic shields are mounted around the registers.
