Spooky season is getting more expensive in Philadelphia and beyond, from rising pumpkin patch costs and higher employee wages at the local haunted house to an uptick on the price of chocolate.
Nationwide trends show that Americans are spending more on all things Halloween this year, including costumes, candy, and events. Data also show an uptick in participation, prompted in part by an impulse to catch up on things that weren’t possible during COVID-19 shutdowns.The National Confectioners Association said it anticipated a 5% bump in Halloween candy sales this year, and according to the National Retail Federation, consumers are expected to spend an estimated $3.
At Eastern State Penitentiary, the Fairmount historic site and nonprofit that has hosted an annual Halloween Nights for 30 years, proceeds from the season support preservation efforts and annual operational costs.
