Will a scary economy change the way you celebrate Halloween?

It may be a little early to think about ghosts and goblins, but I would love to know what you think .
Does the recession have you re-thinking your usual halloween customs?
Will you cancel your annual party, make a costume not buy it, or cut back on the candy for trick-or-treaters?
Or will it be business as usually?

Business as usual here. I'm not crafty enough to make anything...unless my daughter wants to be a ghost. :)

Biz as usual.
Found my son's costume's already...just have to buy it.
$25 dollars
BUT
I do get his pic taken in it.
That's how I justify the cost. LOL
I am actually ready for Halloween/Fall to be here.
Bring on the cooler weather & the fabu decorating style that comes with it!

I love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday. I was so excited when we moved to this street last year, all the kids I figured we'd have loads of trick or treaters..... and then halloween came around and we got ONE single trick or treat going kid. Then my kids couldn't find a place to trick or treat.... no one had lights on. I'm sure it's going to be worse this year so I think we'll just have to find something else to do.

I'm pretty sure it will be business as usual here. Although I am considering making a costume instead of buying this year, but only because I will never be able to buy what I have pictured in my head ... now that's a scary thought :).
I love a good celebration and what's not to love about Halloween.

My family owns a costume shop and although we are beginning to see some customers who are being a bit more frugal buying accessories instead of full costumes for example, most customers say that this is a time for them to forget about the bad economy and enjoy themselves, their kids, and their friends.

Business as usual here. We don't spend a lot to begin with so I don't see any reason to change anything!

not a chance, I will celebrate just like we do every year. The whole pinata, trick-or-treating and party thing, since my oldest can't trick-or-treat we will make it fun for him too.

Business as usual! We want to make Halloween memorable, and still plan to do it with out going over the top.
