With Halloween enthusiasts shelling out an average of $74 to morph into their favorite superhero, pop culture icon or GOT White Walker for a night of tricks and treats, the folks at the Halloween Industry Association (HIA) have found some pretty creative ways to extend the life of that ghoulish get-up!
Here's the list:

• Great White Pumpkin Party – Forget the Secret Santa stuff, who has time for another party during December anyway? Here's a great reason to get together with friends before the family festivities begin at the end of November. Typically, these gift exchanges occur right after Halloween when all the great clearance sales have kicked off – even better! So, dust that golden horn and majestic mane off, then pony up to a brand spankin' new holiday tradition!
• Dress for Dinner – Oh the family that plays together… In this tech saturated world, parents are desperate to find ways to get their kids to voluntarily unplug and gather 'round the table for dinner and good ol' fashioned conversation! Pull out that Halloween box, even mix and match if need be, create an alter ego and stay in character throughout the entire meal. A hilarious after Halloween annual affair to be certain!
• Go BIG at Comic-Con - This traveling event has dates all throughout the year so whip out that new Wonder Woman suit and hit up the show!
• Movie Theme Nights – Whether celebrating the release of the next big block buster or hosting a backyard block party with a projector, a group theme night is the perfect plan for another date with that Darth Vader costume! Get together with pals for opening night of Star Wars on Dec 15!
• Enter a Contest - HIA has the perfect challenge that will set fans and followers up with next year's costume for FREE! Just post a pic doing an everyday task… IN COSTUME! Tag with #HalloweenHijinks and a bunch of lucky folks will score some freebies to ensure their next Dress for Dinner or White Pumpkin party is a huge hit!
