"Last Word"-The Halloween Pay Off
Wednesday, October 31, 2007SUSIE GHARIB: And finally tonight, it's Halloween and the retail industry is enjoying the treats as consumers dish out big bucks for tricks. According to the National Retail Federation, the average household spends $20 on Halloween candy. That's on top of the $1 billion that Americans spend on decorations. When you factor in pumpkins, costumes and other fright night accessories, it adds up to $5 billion. The most popular costumes for children will be devils and pumpkins. Paul, what's the best costume you've seen today?
KANGAS: I could tell you the scariest is when I looked at myself in the mirror first thing this morning.
GHARIB: I bet you were talking bulls and bears.
KANGAS: No.
