HomeGoods Halloween trends include viral 'Halloween Town' pillows inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas, which are often hoarded by scalpers, and unique decor items like geese paintings and Frankenstein figures.
Disney park performers, particularly face actors like Peter Pan, earn significantly less ($19/hour) than costume actors ($15/hour) despite higher labor intensity and harassment risks, leading to financial struggles.
