How Americans will be celebrating Halloween, according to a new AP-NORC poll

Earlier this month, the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found about two-thirds of U.S. adults will celebrate Halloween, with 8 in 10 parents of kids under 18 planning to participate.
The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research's survey of 1,289 adults conducted earlier this month used NORC's AmeriSpeak Panel and represents the U.S. population.
About 3 in 10 U.S. adults say they'll display Halloween decorations, 31% will watch a scary movie, and just 5% plan to pass out healthy snacks, the poll found.
About one-third of U.S. adults will pass out candy, attracting thousands of trick-or-treaters in Blairstown, New Jersey, while pet-costuming remains rare at just 9%.
Local families and towns show varied Halloween traditions, with Fred Joncas coordinating family costumes in Durham, Jessica Byrd decorating year-round in Kingman, Arizona, and Blairstown hosting parades tied to its film history.
