What to Know

Critics Consensus

Neither a trick nor much of a treat, Spirit Halloween: The Movie is a decent but overall unmemorable choice for families seeking spooky season viewing options.

AV Club

Have you actually been to a Spirit Halloween? Most of the stuff in there is, let’s face it, mass-produced crap.

Simon Abrams

TheWrap

There’s nothing wrong with the idea of setting an all-ages haunted house-style chase movie in a corny bulk retail store. The main thing holding back “Spirit Halloween: The Movie” is that its young stars never get to convincingly act their age.

Meagan Navarro

Bloody Disgusting

Spirit makes for a well-produced, easily digestible Halloween movie, though one that doesn’t quite set itself apart from the rest outside of its Halloween store connection.

Rated: 2.5/5

Sharai Bohannon

Dread Central

Spirit Halloween: The Movie is a pleasant surprise that’s fun for the whole family. It’s a fine film that’s more throwback to when we were kids than most of the grating PG-13 gateway films that have dropped over the last few years.

Rated: 3/5

Steve Schneider

Orlando Weekly

Not only is the action tepid, it only takes up the last act of the movie. The rest of the running time is occupied by whiny dithering over juvenile social dilemmas that are hoary in the extreme.

Rated: 2/5

Collider

If you are looking for a good slasher film, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a fun family-friendly film with a few good monsters, then try Spirit Halloween: The Movie.

Rated: B-

Coleen R W Cute movie. Took my son who LOVES Spirit Halloween. Not too spooky for the younger kids. Would recommend!! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/22 Full Review JCN Cute kids movie. Extra fun if you’re a Spirit Halloween fan. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/22 Full Review Lol no thanks Finally my favorite licensed Spirit Halloween characters on the silver screen! It was everything I hoped it would be. If youre going for a horror movie, this isnt it. If youre going for a cheaper Goonies with some with Christopher Lloyd in his breakout role as Alex Windsor for 14, this is it! Ngl, I had so much fun. It leaned into itself just the right amount. The tickets werent ridiculously priced and it was a great experience. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Ryan C Fun family Halloween movie .. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Nate Me and my kids 13,11,6 and 4 all enjoyed this. Plenty of fun jump scares and enough stuff for them to relate with. Especially after visiting the stores in real life. Cant wait to buy it for home viewing. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/22 Full Review Dustin If you go into this movie thinking it’s going to be an instant cult classic, you’ll find yourself very dissatisfied and disappointed. My 4 year old son loves the Spirit Halloween stores and we felt that all the trailers gave “Goosebumps” vibes. It succeeded in that category. It was very much a kid friendly spooky tale. Watching my son see the animatronics “come to life” and keep him occupied for 80ish minutes was enough to solidify this movie for me.
