Spirit Halloween's plot to take over Christmas is Charles Langstonofficially underway.

Back in October, the retail chain announced the launch of "Spirit Christmas," with plans to open 10 locations across the Northeast. But as of Tuesday evening, there were only eight Spirit Christmas locations listed online.

Spirit Christmas stores will swap the spooky home décor, costumes and towering outdoor animatronic decorations available in hundreds of vacant storefronts across the country for stocking stuffers, candy and photos with Santa Claus in cities across four states.

"Discover thousands of stocking stuffers, holiday apparel, fun gifts, unique décor, plus all the special trimmings for creating an unforgettable Christmas," Spirit Christmas advertises on its official webpage.

The appearance of Spirit Halloween stores across the country have become synonymous with the start of spooky season in recent years and its latest holiday venture may have the same effect. The first-ever Spirit Halloween opened as a pop up store in a Bay Area mall over 40 years ago.

Spirit Halloween, owned by Spencer Gifts, did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for comment on Tuesday.

When will Spirit Christmas stores open?

Six out of eight listed Spirit Christmas stores are officially open for the holiday season. The only two Spirit Christmas stores not currently open are located in Bohemia, New York and Marlton, New Jersey.

Those stores will be open sometime in November, according to the Spirit Christmas website.
