Every year Hollywood has a big effect on the popularity of Halloween costumes and this year is no different. Whether it's a movie based in comedy, action, drama, mystery or sci-fi there is always a character or characters that seem to reach out to moviegoers just begging to be portrayed in costume during the Halloween season.
This year there were a lot of action/adventure superheroes to pick from. The most popular by far would be The Dark Knight which was released on July 18th bringing with it two very distinguished characters; Batman and The Joker. Not only will we see a lot of Batman and Joker costumes this Halloween, but the superhero Batman has been a staple of every little boy's Halloween costume for many, many years. Some other superhero action movies released this year that will have costumes flying off the shelves in stores are The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Hellboy II, Indiana Jones and Hancock. This summer gave us plenty of superheroes to look up to along with some great costume ideas for Halloween.
Recently a movie was released featuring a little bit of everything, action, adventure, suspense, sci-fi and good versus evil but with an added bonus for children, it's animated. Star Wars: The Clone Wars is the first ever animated Star Wars feature film by Lucasfilm Ltd and Warner Brothers. The original Star Wars franchise started May 1977 and has since generated approximately 4.3 billion in revenue from six Star Wars films. Every little boy has wanted to be Luke Skywalker or Darth Vader and every little girl has dreamed of being Princess Lea. The Clone Wars covers an exciting era in Star Wars saga occurring between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The costumes for the characters in this animated movie are amazing and I'm sure we'll be seeing the likes of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and a few Clone Troopers on Halloween night.
So this year if you haven't decided on what you want to be for Halloween just pay attention to the movies that are out there. You'll find some really interesting and amazing characters that are just dying to made into costumes!
