Halloween Costume Ideas: Pop Culture

Halloween costumes often reflect recent developments in pop culture. The deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Billy Mays and other celebrities means these characters will be making an appearance on the "Halloween Red Carpet" at parties across the globe. Often these costumes are handmade, since costume companies aren't able to quickly mass produce outfits resembling a recently deceased celeb. A tough economy may force some trick-or-treaters to make their own costumes this year, though costume companies are offering fantastic sales in anticipation of people shopping wisely.
