If you think Halloween is just child’s play then think again!

According to online retailer zulily, sales data shows purchases for adult costumes have increased 41% from 2014 to 2015. Additionally, nearly one-third of adults aged 25-34 said they plan to dress up for Halloween this year, according to a recent survey*. That’s more than their 18-24 year old counterparts, in which only one in four said they were dressing up this year.
