It may be June, but Spirit Halloween is already preparing for the upcoming spooky season.
Spirit Halloween director of PR Lori Tesoro tells USA TODAY that this year, Spirit Halloween is looking to hire 52,000 seasonal associates and managers for a record-breaking 1,575 stores in the United States and Canada. Applications for Seasonal Sales Associates, Assistant Managers, Regional Managers, Area Managers and Store Managers are open at Work4spirit.com.
According to a news release, the company known for Halloween costumes and decorations offers “highly competitive salaries,” retention bonuses and a 30% employee discount on costumes, accessories, animatronics and decorations.
Tesoro said Spirit Halloween plans to open the most stores in company history this year, with a record-setting 1,575 stores compared to 1,546 stores in 2025 and 1,535 stores in 2024.
Applications were opened just a week after Spirit Halloween launched its Summerween Terrifier collection. Although most of the collection is sold out by June 11, it includes an Art the Clown ice cream cone-shaped pool inflatable, a “Terrifier” beach towel and various accessories, such as tote bags and bucket hats.
