People celebrate Halloween differently, but some activities are so iconic, they dominate the landscape.
For example, based on data from 2023, Statista notes that around two-thirds of Americans planned to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. Other massively popular activities include dressing up and carving pumpkins.

Current pop culture and entertainment trends directly influence people’s preferences for costumes and decorations. For instance, back in 2024, with the release of the movie ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ many grown-ups thought about dressing up as the titular character that Halloween.
According to Statista, most Americans draw inspiration for their costumes from ideas found online. In 2024, the majority (38%) did so. Meanwhile, other big sources of Halloween outfit inspiration include retail stores or costume shops (28%) and talking with family and friends (20%).
