Most Popular Costumes for Halloween This Year

Trick-or-treaters in movie character costumes will strut their stuff on sidewalks this Halloween.

Children's costumes are the first choice for Halloween shoppers each year followed by womens' and, at the last minute, mens' costumes.

If you want to know what costumes will be popular at Halloween each year, just look to recently released movies. iParty Store Manager Neal Grieco of Danbury said Halloween sales season is short, but swift.

He said this year's top costume is a pirate, but not just any pirate. Grieco said Pirates of the Carribean will be one of the sellers.
