While
predicting trends for Halloween Costumes and Decorations isn't as esoteric as using a
Ouija board, it does take some figuring out and some guess work thrown in. There are several
sources of information needed to predict what will be "in" for the coming
Halloween. Current surveys, previous year statistics and good old research are the
meat and potato's of predicting anything. Being part of the largest family of Halloween
related websites on the Internet gives us a great advantage in having access to
statistical information, survey results and targeted polling.
Over the past decade, Halloween has developed
an even bigger following of adults. While we have seen growth every year, those
years that
Halloween has fallen on either a Friday or Saturday have shown the most pronounced
increase for obvious reasons. Every year more and more adults can be seen haunting
Halloween parties, walking the streets, and yes, even going Trick or Treating.
And why
not? After all, Halloween is the one day a year that
almost anything goes, allowing people to live out fantasies if only for this one night.
It gives people who are normally stressed out and/or emotionally restrained a chance to let
loose, get spooky, scary, naughty and even sexy without being judged. It's
simply an assumed persona for a night of
Halloween festivities. While traditionally
filled with ghouls, goblins, ghost and other scary characters, Halloween night is also a
very sexy holiday. Costumes portraying sexy Witches and Vampires are always a great choice.
And let us not forget the Mistress of the Dark herself, Elvira! Who
wouldn't want to be her for just one night? Adult costumed gatherings and sexy masquerade parties have become
Halloween traditions everywhere.
OUR ADULT COSTUME PREDICTIONS
This years movie
to watch for will include Batman: the Dark Night and The Terminator. Jack and Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas
are always present. You'll still see a surge of pirate costumes since Capt.
Jack Sparrow is still popular.
Couples costumes will be big again this year, take a look at some of them at http://www.adulthalloweencostumes.com. The usual horror film
bad guys such as the new Michael Meyers costume and mask, Jason from the
Friday the 13th series and
Freddy from Nightmare on Elm Street are all still popular. Classic movie
villains such as Dracula, the Wolfman and the Mummy are always good choices.
There is a strong resurgence towards the traditional, macabre, dark and
sexy. Theater quality Vampire and Witch costumes, particularly sexy ones
will be to die for this year. Elvira style costumes will also be in great
demand. Gothic, ghostly apparitions as couples costumes will also make an
appearance.
DECORATING PREDICTIONS
People are
decorating for Halloween like never before! The focus is on realism for adult
parties, dark and spooky with lots of realism. With the availability of low cost consumer-based
fog machines, more will be sold this Halloween due to the three day week-end
with Halloween falling on a Friday this year. You'll also see more
elaborate yard haunts pop-up on this special night, complete with graveyards,
skeletons, ghosts and special effects.
HALLOWEEN PARTY PREDICTIONS
Halloween
falls on a Friday this year and that means a week-end of partying! That gives us
an extended two days to celebrate and throw week-end parties, also allowing for longer times running haunted houses and Halloween charity parties. Whether its
a Pack of Pirates, Den of Vampires, Zombies, or Ghostly Apparitions, theme based parties
are definitely in! And those that hold these parties will pull-out all the stops when it
comes to decorating and the libation.
