Spirit Halloween will be released this October. Producer Noor Ahmed, president of Strike Back Studios, said, “One of the reasons I immediately connected with the script is it is very much inspired by some of my favorite kid adventure films growing up from The Goonies, Gremlins, Monster Squad, and so many great films made by Amblin Entertainment.” The kids embark on a thrilling and spooky adventure in order to survive the night and avoid becoming possessed themselves.” But they soon find out that the store is haunted by an angry evil spirit who has possessed the creepy animatronic characters. Here’s the official synopsis: “ When a new Spirit Halloween store appears in a deserted strip mall, three middle-school friends who think they’ve outgrown trick-or-treating make a dare to spend the night locked inside the store on Halloween night. This is the feature directorial debut of David Poag, from a screenplay by Billie Bates. There aren’t any betrayals, the world isn’t particularly deep, and you never even the learn the names of the various ruined cities you stumble upon. There aren’t really any complicated twists or turns. You’re a fox, led by a spirit fox, searching for a way to purify the land from the plague that destroyed its people. Marla Gibbs ( The Jeffersons, 227, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie”) also stars in the film. The story for Spirit of the North is pretty simple.
