It would be really great to know whether you mean a ""killing spree"" or ""shopping spree"" given that 'spree' is used almost exclusively in those contexts, but I'm sure you think you have good reason for choosing that word.

Kala: kinta - to be rampant; to run wild; spree

next: to have a voracious desire for; to covet; greedy; corrupt

Technically you're right, but I think you could lump it in with "frenzy", as in "feeding frenzy". And maybe other words like "(mad) dash" or "rush".
