I love these. I found some more on YouTube so thought I would share them with you: * Candy corn was introduced in the 1880s and was called chicken feed. It wasn't until the 1950s that it was pushed as a Halloween treat. * The next full moon on Halloween will be in 2039. * The classic witch costume has always been a top pick for Halloween. Superhero costumes for kids have taken their place in the last few years. * The first haunted house attraction was created by Disney in 1969. This set the standard for spooky ones across the country. * $12 billion was spent in the US on candy, costumes(for animals and people), and decorations in 2023. * The world's largest Halloween parade has been held every year since 1974 in New York's Greenwich Village with 50,000 spectators in costume and millions who line the streets. * The largest pumpkin ever grown was grown in Italy and weighed 2,702 pounds. It was grown in 2021 and set the world record. Any facts you like to share?
