Spirit Halloween Vancouver 2026 Guide

The Ultimate Spirit Halloween Guide: Every Store in Metro Vancouver & the Fraser Valley

Halloween 2026 lands on a Saturday, which means bigger parties, more trick-or-treaters, and a lot of people hunting for the perfect costume at the same time. For many Lower Mainland families, that hunt starts at Spirit Halloween. The seasonal chain pops up every fall in empty big-box spaces across the region, filling them with costumes, animatronics, makeup, and décor for a few short months.

Because Spirit Halloween stores are temporary, their locations change from year to year. A store that was in one plaza last fall might move across town, or close entirely, this season. This guide lists the updated 2026 Spirit Halloween store locations across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, so you're not driving to an empty storefront that hosted last year's pop-up. This year there are eight stores, from West Broadway to Sumas Way. Below you'll find every location, their hours, what makes each one handy, and tips to help you get the most out of your visit.

What Is Spirit Halloween?

Spirit Halloween is North America's largest Halloween retailer, known for opening temporary stores in vacant commercial spaces each fall. The shops usually open in late summer and stay open until shortly after Halloween, then disappear until the next season. That's why you'll often see them described by what used to be there, like "Former Bed Bath & Beyond" or "Former Haney Home Hardware."

Inside, the stores are part costume shop and part haunted attraction. Life-sized animatronics are set up throughout the floor, décor is staged in themed scenes, and there are aisles of costumes for adults, kids, toddlers, and pets. Many costumes are officially licensed from popular movies, TV shows, video games, and horror franchises, and some designs are sold only at Spirit Halloween.

2026 Spirit Halloween Locations in Metro Vancouver

1. Spirit Halloween Vancouver (West Broadway)

Address: 1740 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6J 1Y2 (Former Bed Bath & Beyond)

The city's own Spirit Halloween sits on West Broadway near Burrard Street, where Kitsilano meets Fairview. It's the most convenient option for shoppers from downtown, the West End, Kits, South Granville, and Mount Pleasant, and the 99 B-Line stops close by. With late hours until 10 pm most nights, it's a good pick for after-work shopping or a last-minute costume run.

2. Spirit Halloween Burnaby (Metrotown)

Address: 6200 McKay Avenue, Suite 240, Burnaby, BC V5H 4M3 (Next to Best Buy)

Located next to Best Buy in the Metrotown area, the Burnaby store is one of the easiest to reach without a car, with Metrotown SkyTrain station a short walk away. It's a natural stop if you're already shopping around Metrotown. Keep in mind it closes earlier than most other locations, at 8 pm on weekdays and Saturdays and 6 pm on Sundays.

3. Spirit Halloween Richmond (Richmond Gardens)

Address: 12339 Steveston Highway, Richmond, BC V7A 4E5 (Former City Market)

The Coquitlam store is in the Burquitlam area on the Burnaby border, with Lougheed Town Centre and Burquitlam SkyTrain stations both nearby. It's well placed for shoppers from across the Tri-Cities, Burnaby, and New Westminster. Late hours until 10 pm make it a solid option for weeknight visits.

5. Spirit Halloween Surrey (Guildford)

Address: 10355 152 Street, Suite 1400, Surrey, BC V3R 7C1 (Former Hudson's Bay)

Set in the former Hudson's Bay space at Guildford Town Centre, the Surrey store has one of the larger floor plans in the region, which means more room for displays and a wide selection.

6. Spirit Halloween Langley (Langley Bypass)

Address: 20460 Langley Bypass, Suite 103B, Langley, BC V3A 5E7 (Former Rob's Furniture)

7. Spirit Halloween Maple Ridge (Haney)

Address: 11768 223 Street, Maple Ridge, BC V2X 0R7 (Former Haney Home Hardware)

What You Can Buy at Spirit Halloween

Costumes for Every Age

Every store carries costumes for men, women, boys, girls, toddlers, and pets. You'll find scary horror looks, nostalgic classics, inflatable costumes, funny outfits, and couples and group themes. Licensed characters from film, TV, gaming, and horror make up a big part of the selection, alongside Spirit Halloween exclusives.

Makeup, Wigs and Accessories

Special effects makeup, face paint, fake blood, wigs, masks, gloves, and props help turn a basic costume into a complete look. Staff at each location can suggest products that suit your character.

Animatronics

Spirit Halloween is best known for its animatronics: motion-activated figures that move, talk, and deliver jump scares. Most stores keep several running on the floor so you can see them in action before buying.

Indoor and Outdoor Décor

Decorating options include tombstones and fences for graveyard scenes, fog machines, Halloween lights, hanging props, wall décor, tabletop pieces, pumpkin décor, spider webs, and party supplies.

Tips for Shopping at Spirit Halloween in Vancouver

A little planning goes a long way, especially with Halloween falling on a weekend this year.

Confirm this year's location. Since Spirit Halloween stores move from season to season, don't rely on where you shopped last year. Use the updated 2026 list above before you head out.

Shop early for popular items. The most in-demand licensed costumes and animatronics can sell out in certain sizes or models well before October 31. If you have something specific in mind, visit in early to mid-October.

Go on a weekday if you can. Weekends in late October get busy at every location. Weekday mornings are usually the calmest time to browse and get help from staff.

Check hours before you leave. Hours vary quite a bit between stores, from 8 pm closings in Burnaby and Abbotsford to 10 pm in Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, and Maple Ridge. Sunday hours are shorter everywhere.

Bring measurements. Costume sizing can vary by brand. Knowing height, chest, and waist measurements, especially for kids, makes picking the right size much easier.

Measure your space for animatronics. Some figures are taller than you'd expect. Check the height of your porch, entryway, or ceiling, and make sure you have a vehicle big enough to bring it home.

Think about weather. Vancouver Halloweens are often wet. If you're decorating outdoors, look for pieces labelled for outdoor use and plan for cover over electronics like animatronics and fog machines.

Ask the staff. Team members know the products well and can help with animatronic features, makeup that lasts through a long night, and accessories to finish your costume.

Spirit of Children

Every Spirit Halloween location supports the Spirit of Children program, which raises money for child life services at children's hospitals. These services help kids and their families cope with the stress of hospital stays. Shoppers can donate at the register at any store. Learn more on the Spirit of Children page.
