Total Halloween consumer spending in the United States for 2015 is expected to be 6-point-9 Billion dollars.  That's a scary big number as reported by the  National Retail Foundation, U.S. Census Bureau and CandyUSA.   Here's more.

Over 41 million trick-or-treaters aged 5-14 will be out haunting and hunting for sweets with about 2-point-1 Billion dollars worth of candy up for grabs.

With that much loot at stake, maybe we better look at some other numbers-like  the calorie count of Halloween candy!
