One holiday stands above all others for horror fans, that’s right I’m talking about our beloved Halloween. But even after centuries of celebration (under one name or another), Halloween still doesn’t quite get the respect it deserves. It’s not even a federal holiday, and both you and I know that it deserves that honor and we deserve that day off to prepare and celebrate accordingly. Even if you only look at it from a financial stand point, Halloween brings in a ton of commerce, in 2015 alone, consumers spent around $6.9 billion in the US (according to useconoimy.about.com). Only Christmas brings in more. One fan of the holiday, Richard Doredant, has started a petition in an effort to get the White House to label the day as a federal holiday. If he can get 100,000 signatures by July 25th the White House will be forced to respond. So, to my fellow Halloween lovers I say this, let’s make sure that
