The Most Popular Halloween Costumes for Kids and Adults

Scary or cute? Funny or sexy? Classic or current? Trying to find that perfect Halloween costume can be an agonizing shopping trip, particularly when you're looking for just the right thing in the right size and at the right price.

Here are some of the trending costumes the kids will be wearing during Halloween 2015:

• Superheroes. The newest movies in the Avengers and Fantastic Four franchises came out this year, as well as Ant-Man, so we're bound to see lots of miniature superheroes asking for candy this Halloween.
• Animated characters. Disney princess costumes will always be sought after, but other cartoons inspire costumes as well. Kids will want to dress up as their favorite characters from such shows as Paw Patrol, Doc McStuffins, and the movies Inside Out and Minions.
• Movie characters. Halloween is all about getting to be someone else, and movies provide lots of new personalities to try out. The past year has had a great assortment of characters you're bound to see out trick-or-treating. Look for characters from new movies like Descendants, as well as those continuing sagas like Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean.

And why should the kids get to have all the fun?  These days, adults want to get in on the action, too. What are they wearing, you ask?  Believe it or not, this year you can find adult versions of just about all of the same costumes—which are great options if you're looking for couples costumes. It should be a snap to find coordinating costumes like Shrek and Fiona or superhero duos.
 
Have a safe Halloween—and a fun one!
