The National Retail Federation estimates that 157 million Americans are set to celebrate Halloween this year!

8 in 10 millennials are said to be planning something fun to do with friends!

On a nationwide basis, you'll see plenty of pumpkins, princesses, zombies and witches this year...

Minions, Star Wars and Disney's "Frozen" characters will be knocking on doors asking for candy...

Americans are expected to spend $2.6 billion on Halloween costumes for adults, children and...yes...pets!

NRF’s Top Costume Survey shows that pets won't miss out on the Halloween fun...with many being costumed as pumpkins... Don't forget that Deminski & Doyle want to see your Halloween pet pictures. Please share! Click here for all the details!

Total spending, including candy and decorations, is expected to reach $6.9 billion!

That averages out to about $74 per person!

You still have a few days to become a part of these "spooky" statistics, New Jersey!

Should I be a ghost again this year?

And, just to set the record straight...the reason that my face isn't covered, as the ghost, is that I have to SEE what I am doing...while doing a radio show!

Happy Halloween, New Jersey!
