Halloween has gone from a one-day celebration to a complete month of activities. The event is no longer just about kids trick or treating on Halloween night. Adults are buying most of the costumes for themselves at Halloween

Philadelphia, Penn. (PRWEB) October 15, 2006 -- From costumes to make-up, kids of all ages will be getting into the Halloween spirit as the year’s most colorful holiday approaches. According to Richard Williamson of Pierre’s Costumes in Philadelphia the holiday is yet again increasing in size and scope. The event is no longer just about kids trick or treating on Halloween night.


The growth of this event is largely attributed to the fact that the vast majority of Halloween events and parties are not for children, but in fact for adults. The newest retail surveys tell that Adults will spend well over $4.96 billion on Halloween 2006.
