Spirit Halloween launches 2026 season with limited Freddy Fazbear animatronic in New Jersey

Spirit Halloween opened its 2026 seasonal stores across the United States, beginning with a flagship location in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The launch features a range of new Halloween décor and costumes, including high‑tech animatronics equipped with active‑response and Bluetooth capabilities.

A highlight of the opening is the Freddy Fazbear animatronic, priced at $499.99 and sold exclusively in‑store. Only a few units are available, prompting early resale on platforms like eBay at prices exceeding $1,300. The limited release has sparked concerns among fans about accessibility, as the product will not be offered online.

Customers can locate nearby Spirit Halloween stores through the company’s store‑locator tool, with additional locations slated to open throughout August.
