YORKTOWN, NY — Little ghouls and goblins can now rejoice because the Spirit Halloween stores, which ghosts into cities across the Hudson Valley this time of year, are open for the season. The popular costume purveyor also sells hundreds of accessories, costumes and creepy decorations for Halloween.

Stores locations include Poughkeepsie and Hyde Park in Dutchess County; Newburgh and Middletown in Orange; Nanuet and West Nyack in Rockland and Hartsdale, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mahopac, Yorktown Heights and Peekskill in Westchester. A store in the Poughkeepsie Galleria will be open soon.

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

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.
