Watch Our Spirit Halloween Mystery Unboxing and New 2025 Video Game Reveal
It is officially Halfway to Halloween, and Spirit Halloween has been celebrating all week with new products and returning favorites revealed for 2025, and they further marked the occasion by sending Halloween Daily News a promotional mystery box, which arrived yesterday, containing a preview of a brand new product.
Housed in a retro-themed box advertising a “Spirit Entertainment System,” what we found inside is an actual RetroN AV game system with controller, which can be connected to a TV, and the new Spirit exclusive Haunted: Halloween ’86 video game, in which players are transported back to 1986 to face some of Spirit’s classic animatronics, including Sam from Trick ‘r Treat.
The official synopsis: “October 31st 2025: On a quiet evening in Possum Hollow, two kids are looking for the perfect Donny and Tami costumes. On a quest to dress up as their heroes, Steven and Kym venture into a Spirit Halloween, but just as they put on the costumes, they’re surprised by Jack the Reaper who plummets them through a vortex back to 1986 to relive the infamous nightmare that Donny and Tami endured. Jack the Reaper has taken over Possum Hollow with a few old friends and they are having so much fun, it’s scary.
“To find their way home our heroes must battle all sorts of evil and there is nowhere to hide. Teamwork is the key to returning to 2025 in time to trick-or-treat. Steven and Kym must work together to overcome spooky obstacles, climb through chaos, dodge pumpkins and destroy enemies before they come face to face with Spirit Halloween’s finest. With exciting challenges, insane surprises, and a sweet soundtrack.”
The new 2025 exclusive “Spirit Edition” of the Haunted: Halloween ’86 video game (previously released in a non-Spirit version by Retrotainment) is priced at $60, available online now here. The physical edition includes the custom game box, user manual, and vintage NES game cartridge that is actually fully playable in an original NES system or a modern NES cartridge-compatible replica system like the RetroN gaming console from Hyperkin, which Spirit supplied us with.
The game is also coming soon to digital platforms, according to Spirit’s official announcement today.
