Halloween is just around the corner but no worries, there is still plenty of time to get ready and look fabulous! Every year I tell myself to think of a unique costume and buy it in advance, however, I somehow always end up planning something last minute, perhaps it’s because I work better when I’m under pressure. I’ve done my research on the most popular male/female Halloween costumes in 2008, so keep these in mind when you are shopping or making your own costume.

Tips
-    I know it’s not easy but at least try to be original. Halloween comes around only once a year, so make sure not to fall into an easy costume trap such as an angel, devil, cop and etc.
-    Get your inspiration from Hollywood Movies and TV shows when trying to come up with a costume.
-    It’s hard to splurge on costumes when we are faced with a financial crisis, however, don’t skip the fun. Think of a costume that you can make yourself out of what you already have. It will be creative and way more fun than just buying an outfit.

For girls of age 7-15 Hannah Montana is going to be one of the most popular costumes!

Due to the success of the Batman Dark Knight movie,  Joker  ( played by Heath Ledger)- is rated as the most popular costume. The biggest part of the costume is makeup and hair, so you are probably going to have to rely on the skills of your girlfriend or wife to help you out with that one.

As for the ladies, the most popular movie influenced costume is bunny from “ The House Bunny” played by (  Anna Faris)
