With Halloween right around the corner many people will almost certainly soon be scrambling for ideas for a “good costume.” Of course, something completely original is always great, but so are the classics. Here is a countdown of the top costumes ideas for October of 2009.
The top ten most popular (based on online chatter) adult Halloween costumes are:
10. A Vampire
9. An Angel
8. A Witch
7. A Dog
6. A Doctor
5. A Cat
4. A Cheerleader
3. A Pirate
2. Michael Jackson
…and the most popular Adult Halloween Costume for 2009 is…
1. A Princess
Not quite making the top ten were a devil, a police officer, a nurse, the grim reaper, a ghost, a clown, a bunny, President George W. Bush, a zombie, a ho, President Barack Obama, a school girl, a french maid, a pimp, a wench, a firefighter, and a mime.
So it looks like the classics – a princess, a pirate, a witch, and angel, and a vampire have remained strong. It isn’t too surprising that Michael Jackson did so well considering his recent tragic death. I was surprised that a President Obama costume didn’t make the top ten given his popularity.
I was also surprised that a doctor did make the top 10 while a nurse did not. I must admin to being relieved that neither a clown or mime made the top 10. I am also relieved to see that the whole “Pimp and Ho” craze seems to be dying out.
I compiled this list by searching for each of the costumes on a number of search engines and ranking them by the number of web pages, discussion forums, photos, videos, etc that are available online.
