  • Lawrenceville: Former Sears, 300 Quaker Bridge Mall
  • Franklin Township: Former Office Depot, 940 Easton Ave (open until 9 p.m.)
  • North Brunswick: Former TJ Maxx, 536 Milltown Rd

Because the Halloween store is a franchise with thousands of independently run locations across the country, there is no official company-wide "opening day." Each fall, the seasonal store brand secures short-term leases at vacant spaces, leasing from mid-July to early November. The company is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

In addition to classic costumes, the stores will offer new licensed merchandise from Barbie, Fall Guys, Harry Potter, Universal Monsters, DC Villains, Poppy Playtime, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wednesday and Mars Attacks.
