Since the dawn of time, the Halloween Spirit terrorized the land bringing nightmares to life. He fed on the fear of all children. As their fear got stronger, as did his power. Eventually, the people had enough. On the full moon of an All Hallow's Eve, they fought their fears and banished the Halloween Spirit. From their victory, new Halloween traditions were born. In 1953, Halloween Spirit celebrated the New Year with the Holiday Mob at the Hotel Kyuba in Cuba. He relaxed in a Jacuzzi with the Cupid Baby.
In the present, Raven summoned the Halloween Spirit when the other Teen Titans became disenchanted with the Halloween holiday. Raven places a witch's eye, a dragon's scale, a mummy's hand, a goblin's tail, and two candy corns into a pumpkin then summoned him. The Halloween Spirit manifested and agreed to help Raven. However, he took Raven's desire literal and turned the other Titans back into children so they would be afraid of Halloween. After being spooked by some trick-or-treaters, Robin went into a panic and kicked the pumpkin. When it shattered, the Halloween Spirit was free. He flew off to Jump City to draw on fear of its citizens. Raven rallied the others to set out to banish him again before the full moon set. They armed themselves with pumpkins, costumes, and candy. The Halloween Spirit used his power to turn simple Halloween decorations into monsters. The Titans got over their fear, powered up on candy and defeated the monsters. They performed the ceremony to banish the spirit once again. The Titans held up their pumpkins and weakened the Halloween Spirit with beams emitted from them. Raven held up her pumpkin and banished him back to his realm. The other Titans were restored to normal.
Under siege by Santa Claus, the Titans turned to Raven to summon the Halloween Spirit. She placed a witch's eye, a dragon scale, a mummy's hand, a goblin's tail and two candy corns into a squash provided by Beast Boy that he kept in his pants for emergencies. Robin begged Halloween Spirit to help save Halloween from Santa. He was angered and agreed to make Santa pay for the affront. He summoned Creatures of the Night to aid him. Wolf Man, Frankenstein, and Dracula arrived. Halloween Spirit, however, lost the sword fight to Santa. Luckily, the Titans bombed Santa with dynamite and launched him back to the North Pole. Halloween Spirit returned the stolen decorations, costumes, and candy to Jump City then transformed Santa's sleigh and reindeer into something more to his liking. He, the Creatures, and Titans departed the Tower to celebrate the holiday. He later teamed up with Cupid Baby, Thanksgiving Turkey, and George Washington to steal Easter from the Easter Bunny. They attacked the Titans after they defeated Santa. Robin no look punched the Halloween Spirit out. He landed on Washington.
On one Halloween night, while Halloween Spirit was decorating Jump City, he was ambushed by Beetlejuice and imprisoned in a vial. If he wasn't freed before the end of Halloween, it would be gone forever and Beetlejuice would gain control of the night. As soon as he was imprisoned, decorations around the city were hit by a shock wave and began to disintegrate and wilt. Beetlejuice knew the Teen Titans would be the only ones who would try to stop him so he conveniently planted in ad for his services in Raven's Spellbook and led them on a wild goose chase to the Netherworld where he trapped them in the Lost Spirits Room. However, they escaped and Raven summoned a Sandworm, the one thing Beetlejuice was afraid of, to take him out. Robin picked up the vial and released Halloween Spirit. He quickly restored Halloween to normal.
