Have you ever wanted to be locked inside a Spirit Halloween store overnight? Well, you are about to be able to live out your dreams on the big screen! Strike Back Studios and Hideout Pictures have wrapped principal photography on their new film Spirit Halloween.

When a new Spirit Halloween store appears in a deserted strip mall, three middle school friends who think they’ve outgrown trick or treating make a dare to spend the night locked inside the store Halloween night. But they soon find out that the store is haunted by an angry evil spirit who has possessed the creepy animatronic characters. The kids embark on a thrilling and spooky adventure in order to survive the night and avoid becoming possessed themselves. You can check out the first image from the film below.

After a nationwide search the production found a group young up & coming actors to round out the cast including Donavan Colan (“Zoe,” “Chapelwaite”), Dylan Martin Frankel (“Raven’s Home,” “Life & Beth”), Jaiden Smith (“Blue Bloods,” “Two Sentence Horror Stories”), and Marissa Reyes (“Raven’s Home”). The film also offers audiences a cast filled with beloved veteran actors including Rachael Leigh Cook (He’s All That, Love, Guaranteed), Christopher Lloyd (The Tender Bar, Back to the Future Trilogy) and Marla Gibbs (El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, “227”).

“One of the reasons I immediately connected with the script is it is very much inspired by some of my favorite kid adventure films growing up from The Goonies, Gremlins, Monster Squad and so many great films made by Amblin Entertainment” said Noor Ahmed president of Strike Back Studios.

The production is a collaboration between Hideout Pictures & Particular Crowd in association with Film Mode Entertainment. Produced by Noor Ahmed and Shannon Houchins, with Tomás’ Yanelevich, Peter Bevan, Mariana Sanjurjo and Clay Epstein executive producing. The production also formed a promotional partnership for the film with Spirit Halloween, which has over 1,425 locations across North America.

Spirit Halloween was directed by David Poag‘s in his feature debut, with a script from Billie Bates. As we said above production on the movie has already finished, and it is currently slated for an October 2022 release.
