Movies have long been a source of inspiration for Halloween celebrants, and this year is no exception. Costumes themed around “Minions” and the upcoming “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” should be a common sight this year. But classic costumes will also reign strong, as well as those with a more DIY approach.
“Around Halloween, we’ve historically seen a nod to superheroes and pop culture moments, ” Zoher Karu, eBay’s vice president of customer optimization and data, told in an email. “With the upcoming Star Wars films, it was no surprise that we’ll see lots of Han Solos out on Halloween.”
This is especially so for children. According to eBay, “Star Wars” is the second most popular Halloween choice for kids. “Minions” is the sixth most popular.

The social commerce site Polyvore, which has more than 20 million monthly active users split between the U.S. and the rest of the world, shows a different side of Halloween.
Of The Best Group Halloween Costumes
“We see a lot of interest in Halloween this year, and it's [largely] based on pop culture, ” Amy Wicks, fashion editor at Polyvore, told .
“Star Wars” didn’t make the cut, nor did “Frozen” and some of the others seen on eBay’s best sellers list. But “minion” did — something Wicks attributes to a particular characteristic of the pill-shaped character.
“That bright yellow color does really well on our site, ” she said. “Every time I feature ‘minion-yellow’ on our site, people are obsessed with it. That color, combined with the film, hits a sweet spot.”
Plus Size Halloween Costume Ideas
Wicks added that Harry Potter is trending because there have been rumors of a new Harry Potter book coming out. Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are likely popular because of hype around “Suicide Squad, ” an upcoming superhero film.
The popularity of “cat, ” on the other hand, reflects one of the Polyvore audience’s general interests. “On our site cats really trend and people love cats, ” said Wicks.
But why “unicorn” is the most searched costume of all remains a mystery. Could it have anything to do with all the buzz in venture-capital circles on startups with a $1 billion valuation or higher — dubbed unicorns?
Pinterest paints yet another picture of Halloween. The social media site pulled pins related to costumes for kids, couples, and groups, along with “throwback” costumes that are currently trending.
Many of these options tout a DIY aesthetic for which Pinterest is famous — and hoodies are looking to be a staple for many children's costumes, and understandably so. They're comfortable, fairly easy to decorate/transform, and your child will feel snug in them while trick-or-treating.
Pinterest's throwback costume ideas are up five times in terms of number of pins over last year, and in some cases, certain characters from a series (like Kelly Kapowski from Saved by the Bell), are proving particularly popular:
