It's estimated, you, your family and friends will spend more this year on Halloween costumes, candy and decorations -- an average of $66.54 per person. That's up ten dollars from $56.31 last year.
The national retail federation says Halloween provides a welcome break from the stressful reality of the economy. And more people will celebrate over the weekend because this year, Halloween falls on a Sunday.
