Popular costumes this year

I think it will be Michael Jackson Thriller this year...or just anything Michael Jackson

Agree on Michael Jackson. I can also see a lot of vampire stuff, but the Twilight crew is kinda boring for dress up, in my opinion. True Blood would be much more fun.

Don't know about anyone else but the wifey and I are having a swine-flu theme: biohazard tape, H1N1 virus boxes (Search H1N1 paper craft boxes) everywhere and we are gonna dress as half pig people.

Dan

Too funny! LOL!

Vampires will be very big. Which is unfortunate for us real vampires.

Zombies appear to be popular right now, and a new Big Budget movie, "Zombieland", is scheduled for an opening date of October 10th. The passing of Michael Jackson could also spawn an outbreak of Zombies. A Zombie carrying a boom box playing Thriller would be a hoot. And apparently there is an Internet hoax making the rounds saying that a "Zombie Virus" has erupted in the US. We could see a lot on the Living Dead this year.

I think it will be the pedophile i mean Michal Jackson

Ya know, a good costume for an Adult party would be that "Octomom", Nadia Suleiman. A big ole pair of wax lips, a black wig, lugging eight baby dolls around.

I hope I don't see any Brunos running around .

Michael Jackson.
Kate from Jon & Kate plus 8 with the reverse mullet wig.
And other pop culture crap.

Whatever happened to good old ghouls, ghosts, and goblins???

Sinister lol

These are the new for 2009 costumes at Halloween express, not sure why all the womens costumes are so slutty though!

New 2009 Womens Costumes - New for 2009 Costumes for Women

With TB's Alice coming out, I wouldn't be surprised if there are more Mad Hatters or Alices running around.

The Twilight vamps are easy only because you need preppy clothes, some glitter, and pale it up with some make-up. I suggested it as a costume for a friend of ours who never dresses up to our parties.

But I agree with Zombies, Michael Jackson, and slutty girls.

Ya know, my older brother's friend suggested that if out theme this year doesn't go well, that we should have a bunch of zombies in the front yard doing the Thriller dance.
Personally, I think zomibes cannot stop themselves from doing the Thriller dance when they hear the song. It's like people at weddings and the chicken dance.

As for popular costumes, there will be the old favorites (scantily clad girls, movie inspired, etc) and maybe some inventive costumes inspired by Tim Butron's up coming films.

Lol @ tech..that is funny...

Hey does the playboy bunny count as scantily clad girls? GUILTY!!

I think I might go as Billy Mays. I'll wear a blue button down shirt, paint a beard on, and carry around a bucket of Oxi Clean.

Me and my sisters are doing the whole zombie theme...and we are learning the "thriller" dance !! LOL Should be fun!

What do you think will be the trendiest costumes this year & why?
Like last year it was Political, Batman & the Joker. I think it will be Twilight this year or Transformers.

As someone who works in the industry and has some knowledge on this, Michael Jackson has outpaced all other costumes rather quickly this year. Also early sales on GI Joe and Transformers costumes have been good and is starting to pick up... and for kids the Mario & Luigi costumes finally being licensed is starting to take off.
