Some nods to the holiday include the Haunted Mansion ride, which features characters from "The Nightmare Before Christmas." In addition, children are invited to trick-or-treat at Disneyland on October 31st. This year, to become … (1 comments)

scary: Frightening Halloween...for Retailers!
- 10/27/08 06:35 AM
Halloween is a bigger economic boost than most would think. There are costumes, party items, food & drinks, candy, pumpkins, make-up and more. All these items create a positive impact on local and state economies. Predictions for this year's Halloween spending showed hope for retailers, as expectations were for a 3% - 4% increase in Halloween spending. Did anyone remember that most Halloween decorations can be recycled from year to year? And can't costumes be passed down or passed over to a friend's kids? Why did we set ourselves up for another economic disappointment? Couldn't anyone "guesstimate" that people might be … (0 comments)
