We've barely reached Valentine's Day yet Hollywood Halloween costume distributors are talking about what 2011's top-selling costumes are projected to be. With Halloween reported to be the largest sales-generating holiday -- second only to Christmas -- it's no wonder that costume and novelty manufacturers are getting the jump on Halloween decorations and costumes so early in the year.
2011 Halloween Costumes Are Said To Be Scarier Than Ever
According to marketing manager Daniel Song of "Leg Avenue" -- an L.A. costume manufacturer -- the costume Halloween costume designs in 2011 are going to be a bit darker and bloodier than in most previous years. Song states that the 2010 fascination with film producer Tim Burton's adaptation of "Alice In Wonderland" and the recent Vampire fascination among "Twilight" viewers has created a demand for more dark and Gothic style costuming among consumers of all ages.
Sexy Halloween Costumes And Adolescent Wear
A major focus for costume manufacturers this year is offering variety. With Halloween festivities comes a tidal wave of women taking advantage of the one day a year we can wear sexy and revealing costumes in public. While sex appeal and plunging necklines are a focus in the women's costuming industry, many "PG" versions of traditionally sexy costumes will be made available for adolescent girls age 10 and up.
Costumes Designed For Warmth
The Halloween costume manufacturers of sunny California certainly haven't left out the mid-western ghouls and goblins who have to endure bone chilling Autumn temperatures. Several companies have designed monster, monkey, cat and mouse costumes that are aimed to keep trick-or-treaters warm with faux fur sleeves and leggings. An ideal alternative to covering your costume with a thick and bulky overcoat.
Best Selling Halloween Decorations
Some scary movie monsters never go out of style. This year, 2011 Halloween shoppers will find the usual varieties of Halloween decorations modeled after notorious fictitious serial killers like Michael Myers, Jason and Freddy Kruger with a welcomed new addition. Somewhat of a newcomer to the Halloween horror scene, expect to see a lot of the creepy, masked tricycle riding villain from the "SAW" series. And of course no scary scene is complete without a carefully constructed crime scene, and no crime scene is complete without police tape.
One the biggest selling items last year was "over-the-counter" police tape with sayings such as "enter at your own risk" or "fresh bodies". As always, bloody hand-print tablecloths and window clings are expected to be in popular demand again this Halloween season.
