Which costumes will be hot during Halloween 2009? Here is a list of 7 costumes which I predict will be white hot for men and boys.
Logan Wolverine Costumes — Why it’s hot — the release of the prequel X-Men Wolverine movie has made Wolverine a hot costume this year. However it is not the number one costume of the year, because of its early release in May. While it’s still will be a popular costume, this Halloween, it won’t be as popular as new costumes.
What’s available — The Wolverine costume from the X-Men comic book looks nothing like the movie costume. If you choose the comic book costume, look for a yellow Lycra muscle — suit with a helm with black pointy ears.
The new Logan costume is motorcycle leather with a weak styled after the main character.
Both costumes will meet the claws which are available at most costume shops.
Star Trek Costumes — Why it’s hot — Another movie prequel release this year, this time featuring the original Star Trek characters with new faces. The costumes are basically the same may be a little sleeker and available at every costume shop online.
What’s available — Star Trek shirts in Lycra yellow and blue with emblems on the corner. You can find Lycra black Lycra pants at any yoga shop.
Inglourious Basterds Costumes – Why it’s hot — Brad Pitt and Quinton Tarantino make an incredible team. Bloody battle and clarity are sure to rock this film.
What’s available — While not many costumes have been available for the 1940s G.I., there are still army uniforms available in the style. Look for the green woolen type of uniform.
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Costumes — why it’s hot — the new G.I. Joe hero is a black leather jumpsuit clad soldier with mad skills. The release of this film in the summer of 2009 will put this costume in the forefront.
What’s available — Look for motorcycle leather jumpsuits, all in black. While no official costume has been released, I expect these will populate the costume shops before October.
Transformers — Why it’s hot — the sequel to the smash hit Transformers will be released during the summer. Expect a high popularity of the transformer costumes in the fall.
What’s available — Bumblebee costume, Optus Prime, Megatron and Jazz are all available costumes for this wildly popular film.
Public Enemies Costumes — the 1930s gangsters are coming back with a bang. Johnny Depp stars as old-time gangster John Dillon. This period in history has always had a certain glamour associated with it.
What’s available — there are plenty of use use and gangster costumes available with toy Tommy guns. Stick with the black-and-white pinstripe suits and stay away from the zoot suits.
Harry Potter Costumes — Yes Harry Potter costumes will be back in vogue for 2009 Halloween The release of Harry Potter and th Half Blood Prince will skyrocket this costume’s popularity. Expect a surge in popularity with Harry Potter costumes, and Ron Weasley, Draco, Hermione, Hagrid and the bunch.
What’s available — Gryiffindor and Slitherin robes, Harry Potter glasses and wands, and especially the Quidditch robes as this year they will play a central role with Ron as well as Harry.
Where the Wild Things Are Costumes – While the movie is not officially released until the fall, expect the costumes and Halloween searches to begin early. These costumes are gonna be white hot for Halloween 2009
