Halloween is one of the most popular festivals in the world, and also one of the ones that raises the most money. Sometimes, they are numbers that are really frightening. Just in the United States, the mecca of Halloween, more than 9 billion dollars are spent every year, and this figure is increasing. In other countries like Spain, where until a few years ago the deceased were only remembered on November 1st, this Anglo-Saxon festival is celebrated with more intensity and is already part of the annual marketing campaigns along with Black Friday. Clearly Halloween has come to stay in this country.
