Spirit Halloween’s Flagship Store Opens in Egg Harbor Township with New "Carnevil" Theme
On August 1, Spirit Halloween launched its flagship store in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, marking the beginning of the spooky season. As they do every year, Spirit Halloween’s grand opening drew enthusiasts from all over the country, eager to see this year’s chilling theme: "Carnevil."
Welcome to the "Carnevil"
This Halloween, Spirit Halloween invites you to step right up to the "Carnevil," a spine-tingling circus-themed extravaganza. The 2024 lineup features creepy clowns, a sinister ringmaster, and an array of animatronic props that are both original characters and iconic figures from classic horror films. Visitors can expect to be amazed by the eerie atmosphere and high-quality displays that have become synonymous with Spirit Halloween.
The Grand Opening Frenzy
The excitement surrounding the grand opening was palpable as fans camped out overnight to secure their spot in line. The promise of free giveaways for the first few hundred people only added to the frenzy. However, the event's popularity led to some controversy, as the Egg Harbor Township Police Department had to intervene to manage the crowd.
In a Facebook post, the Egg Harbor Township Police Department addressed the situation:
"We understand that many of you are very excited for the Grand Opening of our Spirit Halloween Flagship store here in Egg Harbor Township. We also realize that many may not have access or may not have known to check the Spirit Halloween website for expectations or announcements.
For that reason, we are relaying some of the rules of the grand opening and expectations for the event on our own page... and would ask that you spread the word, share the post, and follow up by reading Spirit's website for more information.
Arrival to the event is permitted at 7am on Thursday, August 1, 2024. Attendees will be permitted to begin lining up at that time. Those who do not comply will be ineligible for swag bags and first entry access. The store does not open until 10 a.m. Parking in and around Harbor Square after hours is not permitted.
No camping or overnight guests are permitted. We would suggest that you find a local campground for accommodation if you have already arrived or were heading to the area planning to camp on-site.
Thank you for making this a great event and for being respectful of the rules that were set in place for everyone's health and safety."
The Draw of Spirit Halloween
What is it about Spirit Halloween that draws such large crowds year after year? Part of the allure is the store’s ability to capture the spirit of Halloween with immersive themes and high-quality decorations. The "Carnevil" theme, with its mix of original and classic horror elements, promises to be one of the most popular yet.
Moreover, the free giveaways create a sense of urgency and excitement, enticing fans to arrive early and secure exclusive merchandise. This year’s swag bags included limited-edition items that fans were eager to get their hands on.
Looking Forward
