As one who is actually in the Halloween industry, I find this interesting. Believe it or not: There is a movement gathering steam among Halloween costume suppliers to have the holiday officially moved from the 31st to the last Saturday of October every year. They've actually hired a lobbyist to promote this idea. The idea has one purpose only - to sell more costumes. When Halloween falls on a Sunday through Thursday, there are not as many parties and therefore a smaller demand for products. Nothing is sacred in the retail industry!
