ATLANTA,None — The pumpkins are carved, costumes picked out and the scary music is ready to play.
Halloween is finally here.
Halloween has gone from a night simply about getting candy to big business. CNN notes U.S. consumers spent more than $2.5 billion on costumes this year and that the average household has spent $21.05 in Halloween candy alone.
