A recent analysis conducted by ConsumerAffairs has identified New Hampshire as the most Halloween-obsessed state in the United States. This determination was made based on various factors such as the number of haunted houses, pumpkin patches, and Spirit Halloween locations per capita. The analysts noted that New Hampshire boasts a plethora of Halloween-related activities throughout the month of October, including corn mazes, haunted hayrides, ghost tours, and costume stores. Additionally, the state has the highest number of Spirit Halloween stores per capita in the country.
Following New Hampshire, the top five most festive states were Maine, Utah, Idaho, and West Virginia. Maine stood out for having the most pumpkin patches per capita, while Utah showed the highest search interest in scary movies. Idaho scored well in terms of Halloween-related searches, and West Virginia demonstrated the most online interest in Halloween music and decorations.
On the other end of the spectrum, the least festive states included Washington, D.C., New York, Florida, Georgia, and Hawaii. Interestingly, ConsumerAffairs did not delve into the presence of sultry vampires in different states or where individuals could potentially encounter them during Halloween festivities.
In addition to the overall rankings, the analysis also highlighted individual categories where certain states excelled. For example, Kentucky had the highest number of haunted attractions per capita, while Vermont led in terms of candy searches. Colorado emerged as the state most interested in pumpkin spice lattes.
While the ConsumerAffairs report provided valuable insights into Halloween-related trends across the country, it did not address the presence of sultry vampires and their potential activities during the spooky season.
