Two in three Americans who normally celebrate Halloween still plan to do it this year. The rest are just writing it off as another thing ruined by 2020.
But here are four things we’ll be doing differently . . .
1. Trick-or-treating. 51% of people who normally do stuff for Halloween said they’re less likely to trick-or-treat this year.
2. Going to a Halloween party. Down 54%.
3. Staying in and watching scary movies. Up 39% from last year.
4. Decorating your home or yard. Up 30%.
Decorations are the #1 Halloween-related thing Americans are spending money on this year: An average of $39 decorating . . . $32 on costumes . . . and $31 on candy.
That all depends on what part of the country you’re in though. People in the Northeast and Midwest are spending more on decorations than anything else. People out West will spend more on costumes. And people in the South will spend more on candy.
