Halloween has become an established celebration in Spain, characterized by significant consumer spending and a growing market for seasonal festivities. The Spanish Association of Consumers noted that the average consumer is expected to spend approximately 93 euros on items such as costumes, makeup, decorations, and sweets, while calling for increased product safety inspections. As the season progresses, the celebration is expanding into a multi-week cultural phenomenon. Theme parks have launched major horror attractions, such as Isla Mágica in Seville, which features ‘Scare Zones’ like ‘Asalto Maldito’ and ‘Apocalipsis’. Near Madrid, the new 50,000-square-meter Screamfield Madrid has opened, utilizing approximately 70 actors to host haunted houses and live shows. Municipalities and commercial venues are further diversifying these celebrations with immersive experiences. In Altea, the ‘La última función’ event offers personalized terror through theatrical mystery, while Manilva provides a mix of holistic markets, themed amusement parks, and alcohol-free youth parties. Shopping centers like Barnasud in Gavà have introduced ‘Hotel Creepy’, offering both family-friendly and intense adult versions. Community-driven events remain a staple, including the ‘Love Zombies’ survival scenario in Gibraleón, the ‘EXODUS-Z’ live game in Churriana de la Vega, and the ‘Isla Calavera Zombie Walk’ in La Laguna.
