A new poll from Ferrero Candies found that 54% of adults think we should have our own Halloween night — no trick-or-treating, no bedtime tantrums, just spooky fun for the grown-ups. 🧙♀️🍹
And yes... the internet’s calling it “Adultoween.” (Still a weird name, but we’ll allow it. 😂)
Here’s what else the survey found:
👻 Halloween isn’t just for kids anymore. 62% of people say it’s as much for adults as it is for children — and that jumps to 71% among parents. 🧛♂️
🍫 Parents are certified candy thieves. Two-thirds admit they raid their kids’ candy stash starting November 1st. 😈 58% even snack WHILE trick-or-treating. (No shame!)
🍬 Even child-free adults are stocking up. 64% of Americans buy candy even if they don’t expect trick-or-treaters. And 71% of parents admit to buying “extra” candy for themselves. 😅
🍫 The good stuff goes first. 76% say they’ll always go for full-sized candy bars 🍫, 72% prefer familiar flavors, and 67% crave nostalgic favorites from childhood.
🏠 Men are surprisingly intense about candy. 52% of men splurge on premium treats to make sure they’re a “good candy house,” compared to 41% of women. And yes — 21% of men will judge you if your candy game is weak. 💁♂️
🕸️ Halloween hits that nostalgia button. 60% say they celebrate because it reminds them of childhood — and for parents, that number jumps to 68%.
🎃 Americans love Halloween — like, a lot. 47% said it’s their favorite holiday! (Yes, even more than Christmas or Thanksgiving. 😱)
So maybe it’s time to make Adultoween happen — a spooky night just for the grown-ups. 👀🍸Now… who’s bringing the pumpkin spice jello shots? 🎃💃
