There is a reason why Halloween is popular: we like being scared. A recent CBS News Poll bears this out. One in two Americans like scary movies. If you are under 45, the numbers skew toward 60%. With that kind of support it is surprising we don’t celebrate Halloween year round.

Things get even crazier with this stat. According to Americanhaunts.com, Halloween has become the second biggest holiday of the year with over $7 billion spent annually on costumes, candy and Halloween specific activities. I think it’s fair to say, forget like, we love to be scared.

What about the other 40-50%? You know, the people that prefer to keep their heart in their chest and their vocal chords rested. We totally get it. Even a few of us here at Right Size Life prefer the slightly tamer form of entertainment. So don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. There are lots of things to do in the fall and our local entertainment calendar is chocked full of sedate activities. Plus our live music calendar has plenty of “safe” houses.
