Trick or Treat Studios in Santa Cruz is experiencing a slower Halloween season as tariffs impact costs and production. The beloved Halloween merchandise company, known for its innovative costumes and decorations, is facing challenges due to increased tariffs on imported goods. This has led to higher prices for their products, making it difficult for consumers to purchase Halloween items at affordable rates.

As the spooky season approaches, many fans of Halloween are finding themselves hesitant to spend, feeling the pinch of rising prices. The company's production schedules have also been affected, resulting in delays for some of their most popular items. Retailers who rely on Trick or Treat Studios' products are concerned that limited inventory could dampen sales during this critical time of year.

Despite these hurdles, the team at Trick or Treat Studios remains committed to providing high-quality Halloween experiences. They are exploring alternative solutions to mitigate the impact of tariffs while keeping the spirit of Halloween alive for fans everywhere.
