Local and trade coverage for the 2026 season cites a record footprint near 1,575 stores across the United States and Canada, with hundreds of locations opening on or soon after August 1 and the rest rolling through late August into early September.

What the time series shows

Spirit Halloween search interest is a clean yearly ramp. The 261-week Google Search series opens August 7 2021 at 4, climbs through September, and hits the all-time peak of 100 on October 30 2021 before collapsing to 18 the next week and 2 by mid-November. The same shape repeats: October 29 2022 reaches 83, October 28 2023 reaches 67, November 2 2024 reaches 67, and November 1 2025 reaches 92. Early August weeks in 2022 through 2025 sit at 7, 7, 9, and 6. 2026 follows the pattern: July weeks read 2, 2, 3, and 4, then August 1 lands at 9. Derived labels from the series: growth exploding, speed exponential, seasonality high, volatility average. Growth is exploding because 30-day change is +350.0%. Speed is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (2 → 9, abs 7) is more than 2x the prior 30-day move (1 → 2, abs 1). Seasonality is high: repeating late-summer to Halloween peaks. Volatility is average on week-over-week percent changes (series stdev about 47%).
