I was looking at how much my DIY fog chillers cost to make and decided to look back in Quicken at anything that I categorized as having been purchased for Halloween inlcuding consumables like candy, pumpkins and fog juice that don't stick around after Halloween, prop construction including tools, costumes, props, accessories, post-Halloween sales etc. I bought a Buccaneer Bones costume in 2004 to pass out candy. I started to read haunt forums online in 2005 and did my first yard haunt. Immediately I got ideas for this year. So the cost increased dramatically. I'm sure that's nothing compared to other haunters who have been doing this for a while. But without the Internet, I know it would be much less for me. I think of it as making up for lost time ; )
