Spirit Halloween Stores Open in Maryland

From Suicide Squad characters and Wonder Woman to princesses and furry animal costumes, the Spirit Halloween store, which ghosts into cities across Maryland every September, is about to open for the season. The popular costume purveyor sells hundreds of accessories, costumes, masks, wigs, animatronics and creepy decorations for Halloween.

According to the National Retail Federation, Halloween enthusiasts were expected to spend close to $7 billion on Halloween essentials in 2015.

The company has stores across Maryland, including locations in Bel Air, Edgewater, Odenton, Glen Burnie, Dundalk, Middle River, Baltimore, Silver Spring, and Westminster.

This year, Spirit is also participating in the "Spirit of Children" program, which focuses on making hospitals less scary for kids and their families. Customers are encouraged to donate when shopping and donations to Spirit of Children stay within local communities, according to a Spirit spokesperson.

Spirit encourages customers to help make a difference in a child's life this Halloween season by donating at their local Spirit Halloween or spreading awareness via Facebook and Instagram by using #SpiritofChildren in their photos,” Spirit representatives said in a statement.
