After all is said and done -- decorations hung, candy bought and costumes worn -- celebrating Halloween adds up to more than just a few scares.
This year, the National Retail Federation's annual Halloween consumer survey found that 67.4% of Americans celebrating the holiday will buy costumes, with the average spending per person coming to $77.52. Overall, the Halloween industry is worth $7.4 billion.

To put these statistics into perspective, we asked Amazon for the most expensive costumes the site offers. While these aren't the average trick-or-treaters' costumes, they provide a look at just how expensive Halloween can cost.
Check out the scarily expensive costumes below. Note that these are based on list price, and do not factor in Amazon's own pricing policy.
