"As Halloween Shifts to Seasonal Celebration, Retailers Not Spooked by Surge in Spending", from the National Retail Foundation. Nearly three-quarters of Americans (73.4%) will hand out candy, spending an average of $18.72 on sweets. About half (48.6%) plan to spend an average $15.63 decorating their homes or yeards. Consumers spend the most on costumes -- $21.57 per person (nearly 40% of all Halloween spending) -- though only a third of them (34%) will dress up. Three in 10 people (30%) will throw or go to a Halloween party.
