Halloween spending is set to hit a record high this year, according to a survey by Prosper Insights & Analytics. Consumers are expected to spend a total of $13.1 billion, surpassing the previous record of $12.2 billion set in 2018.

The National Retail Federation's data shows that Halloween spending is expected to reach a record high this year, with a total of $13.1 billion.
