Halloween Spending Projected to Reach Record $13.5 Billion
KRCR reports that Halloween spending is projected to hit a record $13.5 billion, with shoppers actively hunting for deals and looking to cut costs.
Eureka, CA, October 27, 2026 —
Halloween spending is projected to reach a record $13.5 billion, according to KRCR, as shoppers look for deals and try to reduce costs. The report describes consumers as actively hunting for lower prices while the overall spending forecast reaches a new high.
The projection and the reported deal-seeking trend point to two aspects of this year’s Halloween shopping: a large expected total for spending and efforts by shoppers to manage what they pay. The summary does not provide a breakdown of the forecast, so it is not clear which products or categories account for the projected total, or how much shoppers expect to spend individually.
KRCR’s report, as summarized, does not specify the year covered by the projection, the organization or research behind the estimate, or how the projected figure compares with spending in earlier years. It also does not provide details about which retailers or types of deals shoppers are seeking. Those details were not included in the available information.
The $13.5 billion figure is a projection, rather than a reported final tally. The available summary does not say when actual spending figures might be released or whether the estimate could change. It reports only that Halloween spending is expected to set a record while shoppers seek deals and look to cut costs.
