Costume Watch: Early Halloween Trends
To plan the proper costume for Halloween, you need to get an early jump. Anyone dude can buy a pirate costume and any chick can throw together a fairy costume by October 31. But not you. You want something trendy, unique, and in tune with the times.
Halloween devotees are already busy searching on the outfits you'll spy around the punch bowl on All Hallow's Eve. In that ghoulish spirit, we checked out the Search data for the hottest new costume ideas. It's only August, but here are the top 20...
Final notes on early costume trends...
—Our list is dominated by movie-inspired get-ups. But "300" rules all. Expect to see half of Sparta marching to your doorstep in search of candy.
—Popular video game World of Warcraft made its presence felt at #16 and #18.
—Disney continues its stranglehold on the hearts and minds of the nation's youth. After last year's frilly princesses and creepy Jack Sparrows are packed away, here come High School Musical and Hannah Montana for even more dress-up inspiration.

Did you even look at the links returned for the 2 World of Warcraft searches?
Murloc costume, and all of the links show this, is in reference to an IN GAME thing. An item given to some people at Blizzard's recent convention so their character in game can look like a Murloc.
And the same really goes for the World of Warcraft link too, talking about other in game costumes, or the costume contest they just had at Blizzard's convention.

Trendy? Exactly whey I DON'T want to be. It's far more creative to create a costume that no one else will think off then to be what 3 million other dorks will be. No one will know who Hannah Montana is in a few years from now. How lame. I do like the above Caveman costume idea. I also like the idea of combining 2 different costumes......a Dr. outfit along with vampire makeup. A devil in a pinstripe suit, a zombie bride in a kilt, a duck in a tutu.
