Halloween is right around the corner. What started as simple trick or treating has become big business in the United States. Last year we spent 4.75 billion dollars alone on Halloween. Which is surprising because it seemed like my kids were still getting lame candy like sweet tarts and blow pops. It seems like if people are forking out that kind of dough we would see a lot more snickers and almond joy. The greatest expense for Halloween these days is not candy it is yard decorations and elaborate costumes. Costumes aren't just for the kids anymore. No, just like everything else Halloween costumes and yard decorations have turned into a game of keeping up with the Joneses.
Keep that in mind if you are planning on going to a party? In 2010 you do not be caught with your loincloth down. If you are joining in on the festivities you need to pay attention to what is going on in the world. Whatever you do, do not show up to a party painted blue like someone from Avatar, that is so 2009. Instead, check out our list of the top ten Halloween costumes for 2010.
Michael Jackson
Think of the looks you'll get as you moon walk into the party with that iconic white glove! Go as "beat it!" version or my favorite the "smooth criminal" version. Is it too soon to be in the top ten Halloween costumes? Normally I would say yes, but we are giving it a pass since everyone is trying to cash in on his death.
Buzz Lightyear/Woody
Number 2 and 3 on the Top Ten Halloween Costumes for 2010 are a great team! How could Buzz and Woody not make it into the top ten Halloween costumes? Yes, the Toy story saga is over, but it does not have to be for you. Buzz and Woody are fun and current. Who does not love these guys.
Captain America/Hulk/Thor/Iron Man
There is a lot of buzz about the Avengers, and that makes these Halloween costumes hot options. Iron man 2 was a big hit, the hulk is coming out in 2012 and Thor and Captain America movies are coming out next year. Plus if you go as Captain America you get a cool shield you can throw at trick or treaters.
Frank the bunny
This is one of those snobby movie references. It's from the cult hit Donnie Darko, which was only seen be thirteen thousand single guys...who are probably still single. They will love this demented bunny costume the minute they see it, but to everyone else it will be a little creepy.
Inception- Dom Cobb
This is actually a cool idea for the top ten Halloween costumes. Wear a skinny suit, tie and wear a fedora. To add to the effect carry a metal suitcase and spin a top every once in while.
Avatar- Jake Sully
Okay, I give in it is still cool. This makes it into the top ten Halloween costumes despite the fact that if you show up to a party in this costume it may look like a Smurf village. That may not be so bad the Smurfs movie comes out next year. Just bring a smurf hat just in case there are too many Avatar nerds.
