In 2020, candy started to appear in August due to the pandemic and in 2021, even earlier in July. This year it hit store shelves just a few days earlier compared to the last 2 years. But it’s not just the candy: Halloween decorations, spooky animatronics, apparel, and other related merchandise has started to appear in store shelves as well.
