"At the heart of the experience is this year's show-stopping animatronics, debuting cutting-edge features like dual 180-degree rotational motors showcased in Twisted Grandma, a frightful twist on candy dispensers with Trick or Treat Pete, and advanced motion tracking as seen in the all-new Jack the Reaper animatronic," Spirit Halloween said in a news release.

Costume selections will include fan favorites such as characters from "Squid Game," "Marvel" and "Wicked."
