Spirit Halloween kickstarts spooky season with grand opening news, haunted house trip

With about six months until Oct. 31, Spirit Halloween is declaring the start of spooky season by offering fans a chance to win a private stay in one of the nation’s most famous haunted houses.

As part of the Egg Harbor Township-based specialty retailer’s “Halfway to Halloween” celebration, it will give one lucky winner and up to 12 friends or family members a trip to the notorious Lizzie Borden House in Fall River, Mass.

The visit is being arranged in collaboration with ghost tour entertainment company US Ghost Adventures. It will include:

• An exclusive guided house tour with insight around the murder, the trial and commonly reported hauntings;



• A late-night ghost tour, complete with professional ghost-hunting gear;



• A private breakfast in the Borden family dining room;



• A ghost-hunting starter kit with two pieces of Ghost Daddy Ghost Hunting Gear and a lesson for two at US Ghost Adventures Ghost Hunting Course;



• The ultimate Lizzie Borden gift package, featuring an official hatchet, the Lizzie Borden board game, Lily the Haunted Doll and America's Most Haunted Volume II.

 

The winner will also have their choice of a trip for two to a ghost tour in Salem or a “true crime” experience in Boston.

According to Spirit Halloween, fans can enter to win by following the retailer’s Instagram page and leaving a comment on the contest post through April 28.

Lots of treats

Spirit Halloween also announced the Aug. 1 opening of its flagship store in Egg Harbor Township . The popular, annual event includes exclusive early reveals, games, treats, themed photo opportunities and activities for the whole family.

Steven Silverstein, the company’s chief executive officer, shared in a statement, "Our Halfway to Halloween celebration provides fans an exhilarating taste of what's to come this fall and empowers them to start planning for their favorite season as early as they please.”
