Michael Jackson Billie Jean Costume $150

Although it may pale in comparison to the $49,000 you’d have to pay for Michael Jackson’s infamous bejeweled glove, this fantastic Michael Jackson Billie Jean Halloween Costume will still set you back $150. And that’s about $100 over budget, according to the latest findings from the National Retail Federation’s Consumer Survey about this year’s Halloween spending. The survey states that this year, shoppers will probably be spending about $56.31 on Halloween, about $10 less on average than they did last year.

Let’s see. Award-winning Halloween costume + copious amounts of candy + spooky Halloween lighting + outdoor tombstone (complete with sound effects and dry ice fog) + cold medicine for when the kids get sick afterward = WAY MORE THAN $56.31…what do you think?

Well, just in case you have budgeted for Halloween this year (and even if you’re not, it’s worth a look), take a gander at some of Halloween 2009′s most popular costumes at our Halloween Shop!
