Oh, the Horrors! Yes, Halloween is Getting Costly

black_widow.jpg

When Halloween rolls around, things no longer go bump in the night. They go “ka-ching.” That’s the sound of money in the till, and this holiday is big business for retailers. Americans will spend more than $5 billion for costumes, candy and spooky décor this year, according to a projection from the National Retail Federation.

Stores started hauling out the Halloween gear around Labor Day, so you may already be behind the curve on planning outfits for the kids, the grownups and even the pets. It’s time to hit the grocery store for candy – the average person will spend $19.84 for sweet treats, the federation says. And don’t forget the creepy creations for the front yard, the porch and inside the house. Halloween decorations have become a big part of the holiday, and the average person will spend almost $20 for them this year.
