Spirit Halloween is planning to open more than 1,500 stores this holiday season and some are opening now. Most will open by the end of September.

According to the company, Spirit Halloween is the largest Halloween retailer in North America. "With 1,525 seasonal locations in strip centers and malls across North America, Spirit is the one-stop destination for all things Halloween," the company said in a statement.

Why wait until October? Many Spirit Halloween stores have already opened or are coming soon to Florida cities, including Pensacola.
