Halloween is approaching, and we all know it’s a big deal for everyone. A magical, thrilling night when kids are allowed to go on a hunt for endless amounts of candy, and grownups get their once-a-year-chance to slip into the most creative, most ridiculous outfits.
But that just begins to describe how important this holiday is. Let’s not forget businesses and brands who also play the Halloween game with holiday campaigns, decorations, and marketing strategies… because IT’S FUN! Or TV shows with their Halloween specials entertaining people all around the world with their beloved characters in scary-funny All Hallows’ Eve scenarios.
