Halloween is just around the corner and approaching quicker than you can say “boo,” Spirit Halloween has revealed the top costume trends for the upcoming spooky season.
According to the National Retail Federation in the US, people who celebrate Halloween spent a record $10 billion celebrating the event in 2021.
Popular picks from TV shows like Stranger Things and movies like Sonic the Hedgehog and Hocus Pocus are among the top choices.
