October is here, this means a long awaited break from the hot weather of summer, leaves falling from trees, and the most exciting the halloween season. Halloween is known for many things, like watching horror movies, eating candy, spending time with friends and family, and dressing up in a great costume.

One of the most memorable parts of Halloween is dressing up in costume and either going trick or treating when you’re young, or going to parties when you’re older. When selecting what costumes to wear many people like to know what the trending costumes are, especially when it comes to teens, and a good place to look for that is high school students at St. Dominic.

Oftentimes, popular Halloween costumes come from popular pieces of media like movies and tv shows like Barbie and Ken, and in less often cases music, for example two participants could dress like metro boomin and future.

”I’m going to be Happy Gilmore for Halloween, I enjoyed the movies and the second one came out this year so it feels like a good time.” freshman Henry Hughes said.

Some trending costumes are things like Superman as the new movie came out this year, Wednesday Addams with the new season of the Netflix show coming out, snow white as that movie came out recently, and many others.

Social media is also a great place for people who are looking for their costume idea, as many of the best ideas out there will gain a lot of traction and popularity. Couple ideas like mustard and ketchup, child and parent ideas like a kangaroo and its joey.

There are so many costumes online, from past horror characters to toys from Toy Story. Overall one of the most important parts in the selection of a costume is that it’s fun and creative. Whether it’s unique to you, or your friend is wearing the same thing, oftentimes the most memorable outfits are the ones that you enjoy.
