How Americans will be celebrating Halloween, according to a new AP-NORC poll
Sherry Jenkins lives in Blairstown, New Jersey, where the first “Friday the 13th” was mostly filmed. The town hosts a parade and activities for kids, and Jenkins hands out candy to over 1,000 trick-or-treaters every year. She's not alone. A recent AP-NORC poll shows about two-thirds of U.S. adults will celebrate Halloween, with parents especially involved. About 8 in 10 parents of a child under 18 say they will do something to celebrate the holiday, compared with about 6 in 10 Americans without kids under 18. About one-third say they'll be passing out candy to children trick-or-treating at their home, but only 5% will be handing out healthy snacks instead of candy.
