How to Make Money During Halloween

Halloween is largely celebrated on the night of 31^st October when it was believed in the past that dead people appeared from their graves. It was literally meant to remember the dead. The word Halloween means holy evening. However, modern Halloween has become more about costumes and candy than it was about people appearing from their graves. Also, what used to be celebrated mostly by children has become a fiesta for all alike.

People are increasingly spending on Halloween and the Halloween market is increasing by billions of dollars each year.  Most people will either:

·         Wear a costume and probably dress up their pets.

·         Throw or attend a party and dole out candy as well.

·         Carve a pumpkin.

·         Visit a haunted house,

·         Go trick-or-treating, and

·         Decorate their home or yard.
