The

has been transformed into a Halloween City retail store.
The seasonal store's isles that once held an assortment of beauty products, over the counter
medicines, vitamins and an assortment of household needs now are overflowing
with everything to celebrate the year's creepiest holiday.
Since
turning into an adult holiday in the late 1980's, Halloween's costumes, candy
and decorations top $9 billion a year.
That includes over $450 million dollars on pet costumes. Adult Halloween has also been a boom for the
liquor industry. Bars and liquor stores
report that when Halloween falls on a Friday or Saturday,
alcoholic beverage sales rise 30%.
This
year Halloween falls on a Wednesday.
