It’s that time of the year again, the best time, Halloween season! As Spirit Halloween’s iconic orange banners return to storefronts across the country, the season’s excitement has reached new heights with the debut of the brand’s first-ever, soon-to-be iconic, Jack the Reaper Animatronic!
The doors of stores will soon be flung open, and it’s a perfect chance for fans to come face-to-face with Jack in stores, where his state-of-the-art animatronic is part of Spirit’s immersive in-store experience. Outfitted with motion-tracking technology, Jack follows fans’ every move, making him one of the brand’s most advanced and photo-worthy creations to date.
Available in-store and online for $299.99, the animatronic brings the retailer’s fan-favorite mascot to life and officially kicks off the expansion of the Spirit Halloween-branded universe.
The Jack the Ripper animatronics’ debut was revealed during Spirit Halloween’s Virtual Grand Opening on August 1, a surprise, fan-first content drop across social media, featuring content creators who are among the brand’s most dedicated superfans.
In place of the brand’s annual in-person event, Spirit brought the full experience online this year – offering fans early access to the season’s product lineup and in-store setup through virtual walkthroughs, plus a limited-time giveaway that rewarded the first 200 signups with exclusive swag bags and special discounts on animatronics. You can find killer content from the event here.
Jack the Reaper now stars in an all-new lineup of décor, costumes, games, and collectibles, giving fans more ways than ever to engage with the icon and bring a piece of the brand home for the season.
