Barbieween
Spirit Halloween
Yes, Barbieween, that’s Spirit Halloween’s term, not ours.
It’s no surprise that the blockbuster film Barbie is inspiring the most popular costume ideas this Halloween.
In fact, the costumes are so popular this year that a selection of Barbie-related costumes are already sold out on Spirit’s website, including the “Adult Skating Ken Costume.”
The Little Mermaid
Spirit Halloween
Another top Halloween costume choice is inspired by a major movie release from 2023, The Little Mermaid. However, most of the trending choices are inspired by the classic 1989 animated film that the 2023 version was inspired by.
Horror movie-inspired costumes
Spirit Halloween
You can’t have a good list of best costumes without some inspired by horror flicks, and this year, thanks to so many reboots and remakes, there are plenty to choose from.
Ghostface, from the Scream films, was a popular choice in the early 2000s thanks to the blockbuster film from Wes Craven, but thanks to the recent reboot, it’s hip to be Ghostface again.
Other popular choices include officially licensed monster costumes from Universal (Frankenstein, The Invisible Man) and Chucky of Child’s Play.
One of the less obvious choices this year is Huggy Wuggy, a character featured in a horror game called Huggy Wuggy.
If you need some Halloween entertainment, Spirit even has its own version of Monopoly available for purchase, and the costume retailer says it’s so fun it’s scary!
