It’s finally here: our list of the hottest costumes for this Halloween season! We’re always one of the last Halloween websites to publish our Top Costumes list because we factor in a few more details that take time. You’ve probably noticed on a lot of these lists that the choices can seem pretty random. I mean Bacon and Eggs as the “hottest couple costume”? Poodle Skirt Girl as the most popular women’s costume? What the heck?
It’s been our experience that many of these lists are full of the worst sellers from last year and retailers are hoping to get that old stock sold quickly by labeling it a “top costume”. Other lists go just for the obvious choices like characters from blockbuster movies. Neither are very helpful when you’re looking for a great costume idea or are just really curious about trend forecasting. We’ve spent the last couple months gathering info from actual top selling costume sales reports, online communities, all sorts of articles, and of course our extra special Halloweenie senses. It’s been a lot of work, but tons of fun! So we present to you our super awesome picks for the 2008 Top Halloween Costumes. We hope it gives you tons of great costume ideas. Enjoy!
have you chosen your costume yet?

where’s Incredible Hulk on this list?? That movie rocked — I’m totally going as the Hulk this year.
365 Halloween Response: We were surprised at first how unpopular the Hulk costumes turned out to be after the latest blockbuster, but then we saw the actual costumes… they’re… well, just look at them and you’ll see. However, the homemade Hulk costumes will probably be amazing this year. Send us a pic and let us know how yours turned out!

I’ve been wanting to be a black widow for several years now. Just never got around to doing it and always ended up being something else. This year will be the year!

LOL you have my costume ideas already. I want to be She Ra but if I can convince my boyfriend to be Han Solo (shouldnt be too hard) then I’m going to wear that sexy princess Leia costume.

I thought I was going to create a sort of Steampunk Time Traveler costume, but the last couple weeks I’ve begun leaning towards an Egyptian theme. I get so many ideas and change my mind a few times every single year so I’m usually never sure until mid October. Such is the life of a DIY Halloween lover!
