Spirit Halloween opened for the season in the Dalton Avenue Plaza Shopping Center.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Boo! Halloween is coming.
Spirit Halloween has opened in Pittsfield at the Dalton Avenue Plaza Shopping Center. The seasonal chain offers costumes, decorations, and other spooky merchandise.
This year's animatronic display includes a life-sized Art the Clown who menacingly honks a bike horn. He is the primary antagonist in the "Terrifier" franchise, which is coming out with a third sequel this year.
The Pittsfield location opened on Aug. 5 and will remain until early November. Spokesperson Marisa Uzzolino said that with more than 50,000 seasonal employment opportunities this year, the store is always looking for enthusiastic team members who want to be a part of the "unique Spirit excitement."
"Our stores are an entertainment experience and seasonal destination for our guests — it brings to life their favorite characters, inspires their imagination, and embodies the excitement of the Halloween season in a way that no other retail experience can," she wrote to iBerkshires.
"People use a trip to Spirit Halloween to fully embrace the season — and many fans report visiting their local stores multiple times throughout the season."
The Terrifier franchise isn't the only one that can be found in the store. Sections dedicated to slashers such as Michael Myers, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Ghostface, and more are all a part of Spirit's merchandise.
There are also sections for kids and teens.
Spirit Halloween is the largest Halloween retailer in North America with 1,525 seasonal locations opening this year in shopping centers and malls across North America. The Pittsfield location in between Jo-Ann Fabrics and C Nails and Spa formerly housed the Goodwill.
