Worcester, MA October 7, 2005 -- Beware Halloween 2005. Consumers are purchasing decorations and costumes at an alarming rate, and the scarier the better.

Halloween ranks #2 in consumer holiday spending behind Christmas, and it’s creeping up at a frightening pace. With professional quality decorations, props, special effects and animatronics at the fingertips of consumers, home displays have become as elaborate as professional haunted houses. Consumers are decorating like they would for the Christmas holiday season and taking the Halloween theme to a new level.

Animated props, Gortraits (lenticular portraits), haunted house kits, coffins, special effects, Slipknot, clown, and Alien vs. Predator masks are predicted to be hot sellers for Halloween 2005, along with Batman, Star Wars, and Incredibles costumes.
