Well, it’s on it’s way! Halloween is one of the most interesting holidays we have.

Halloween, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting “haunted houses”, carving Jack-o’-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies.

The most popular part of Halloween is trick-or-treating, while dawning cool costumes. Halloween costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, ghosts, skeletons, witches, and devils. Costumes are also based on themes other than traditional horror, such as those of characters from television shows, movies and other pop culture icons.

A survey done in the United States found that 62.5% of consumers planned to buy a costume for Halloween in 2007, spending $44.89 on average. They are also expected to spend $5.92 billion this year on Halloween costumes alone!
