The popularity of Halloween costumes depends a lot on events of the year previous to that Halloween and as well as books, movies and TV shows that were popular that year. Some of the most biggest costumes for Halloween 2010 follow this popularity rule.
The biggest trend in Halloween costumes this year seems to be anything to do with Alice in Wonderland. This year’s movie of the same name, starring Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway, will spur sales and rentals of costumes for the Mad Hatter, Alice, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and the Cheshire cat. Some great Halloween costumes this year will be inspired by Shrek Forever After. Shrek, Princess Fiona, Rapunzel, Puss N’ Boots and the Donkey will be very popular costumes for children and adults alike.
Another big movie that will be sure to inspire costumes is How to Train Your Dragon. Dragon and Viking costumes are going to be really big. The dragon characters that will be knocking at your door come Halloween night will include Terrible Terror, Monstrous Nightmare, Gronckle, Night Fury and Hideous Zippleback. The Vikings at your Halloween party will include Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut and Tuffnut, Astrid, Stoick, and Hiccup.
Robin Hood is also expected to get some imitators, including lots of Robin Hoods, Maid Marions, Friar Tucks and King Richards. Buzz Lightyear, Jess, Ken Doll, Lots-o’ Huggin’ and Peas-in-a-Pod will be costume throw-offs from Toy Story 3. There will be lots of Michael Jackson costumes this year as a result of his death in June of 2009, although he has inspired Halloween costumes for many years.
There are, of course, costumes that are popular every Halloween. They don’t require much work, they’re not usually too expensive, almost anyone can assemble them, and they’re always appropriate. These would include witches, princesses, ballerinas, pirates, cowboys, fireman and policeman, superheroes and Ninjas. Most stores that carry Halloween costumes will include either entire costumes or pieces that you can put together for a costume. Or you could just raid a closet!
