Berkshire County is enjoying beautiful summer weather, and we're talking about Halloween? For me, Halloween can never come too early. It's my favorite holiday of the year, where you don't get a day off. I love decorating, dressing up, handing out candy, and collecting candy with my daughter. Plus, it's an excuse to dive into my horror movie collection and watch my favorites for hours, though these days I'm lucky if I get to watch one or two.

I mentioned how I enjoy decorating for Halloween. Each year, I head on over to Spirit Halloween and find something new to add to my decorations. Sometimes I'm replacing old decorations with new ones, as the ones I've owned for years have received a lot of love. It's fun to browse the store, see what new items are available, and even try out some of them, like the spooky animatronic characters, as you can see in the photos below.

While I have to wait a few more months to visit Spirit Halloween (the store usually opens in August), I'm happy to learn that there will be two Spirit Halloween stores in Berkshire County this year.

According to the company's website, Spirit Halloween is hiring for the spooky 2026 season, and two stores where they are seeking team members are in Berkshire County. Those stores will be at 457 Dalton Avenue in Pittsfield in the old JoAnn Fabrics spot, which has been the case over the past couple of years. A second spot where the company is hiring in the Berkshires is at Lee Premium Outlets. The company is seeking store managers, assistant store managers, and more. So there you have it. We can look forward to two Spirit Halloween stores in Berkshire County this year.
