Hottest Halloween Costumes for 2009

There have been many new additions in costumes for the year 2009. Too many really. Spongebob came back after a long hiatus. Terminator is here. Watchemn. The Strawberry Shortcake line was extended. New Transformers and Wolverine costumes. It just goes on and on. Pretty much any major label movie that was released or any popular tv show saw its stake in the halloween business increase exponentially. The question is which ones will actually be popular.

I can tell you right now Watchmen will not be popular. A nearly three hour movie full of journalistic dialogue and little action is not going to charm the masses.

Star Trek definitely will be huge. We're talking a huge block buster movie here. Ground-breaking really. This Star Trek movie single-handedly did what a long and enduring tv franchise never could. It made regular people interested in Star Trek. Now that's a feat worth that translates into mainstream success.

Terminator is iffy. Not much buzz about it anymore. I think fans of the movie are sticking with the old school.

G.I. Joe. The movie is still yet to be released. The trailers don't personally look interesting to me. I predict a huge tank on all fronts.

Transformers on the other hand should do well. The first movie was great. The new one is well liked. The characters are fun. Kids love em.

But I say the most popular of all will be Harry Potter. Mega huge smash hit the new movie. Mass appeal. Ranging from the young to the old. There's a firestorm of interest in the movie and the books. It's only natural that the costumes will reap the benefits.
