Americans are expected to spend a record $13.5 billion on Halloween—pushing one in four revelers into debt

It’s the season of carving pumpkins, hanging up spooky decor, and kids shoving candy into pillow cases as they go door to door trick-or-treating. Halloween celebrators are poised to spend more than ever, and some are willing to borrow money to keep the festivities going. The National Retail Federation expects Americans to spend a record $13.5 billion on Halloween this year, up from $13.1 billion a year prior. But even so, economic pressures are making some cut costs. A separate survey of 2,000 U.S. adults from LendingTree found 61% are skipping on candy, costumes, and decor because of economic uncertainty.
