The year is coming to an end, which means Halloween is approaching with the festivities of dressing up, trick-or-treating and engaging in the spooky season. Many people are conflicted on what to be for this holiday.

As new movies, games, and shows progress into our era, we develop new costumes to use during Halloween, though the classics still stay, like the most popular costume in America is still a witch. Many states have their differences. For instance, Texas’ most popular costume in 2020 was Harley Quinn. From classic to popular, here are some spooky suggestions for Halloween this year.

Some students like to pick costumes that correlate with popular TV shows or movies.

“I am going to be Patrick Batemen from ‘American Psycho’ because it’s funny,” senior Jayden Barrett said.
