Here are 10 big Halloween costume trends, as reported by CNBC.

Halloween costumes are, like regular clothing, subject to the whims of fashion. Some dominate one season only to fade into obscurity the next, while others become timeless classics.
Either way, here are 10 holiday get-ups that CNBC predicts will be big this year.
Number 10. The Ice Bucket Challenge. The awareness and fundraising initiative that dominated social media will likely take over Halloween as well. The costume is clever, timely, and, possibly best of all, easy to DIY.
Number 9. Spider Dog. Facebookers and Tweeters everywhere were no doubt happy to learn that the gigantic, creepy spider all over their feeds was just a done-up dog. Why not continue to freak out the masses by throwing some fuzzy, spindly legs on your own pup?
Number 8. Sexy. If Halloween has proven one thing as of late it’s that just about anything can be made into racy ensemble. That includes sock monkeys.
Number 7. Sexy, male version. While the male expression of the come hither costume often times covers more flesh, it’s still loaded with all sorts of suggestive elements. Wild and dangerous meets cute and fuzzy is a popular approach.
Number 6. Childhood nostalgia. Kids’ books remain as strong a costume inspiration as ever and serve as a testament to the enduring popularity of their characters. Top picks for this year include Waldo and and The Cat in the Hat.
Number 5. Body suits. While not so much a costume as a way of wearing a costume, the all-in-ones are taking Halloween by storm. They’re quick, easy, and now come in a variety of colorful and detailed options.
Number 4. Superheroes. America’s love affair with caped crusaders and masked marvels continues. The recent release of blockbusters like Captain America and Transformers doesn’t hurt the craze, either.
Number 3. New twists on old standbys. The doctor costume is as old as, well, doctors and costumes, but several inventive takes on the classic are expected. Among them is the addition of humorous nametags, like Dr. Bud Smoker.
Number 2. Movies. The demand for movie-inspired outfits is typically well anticipated by costume manufacturers. This year, however, they did get one big surprise. In addition to Elsas and Maleficents flying off of the shelves, there has been a great deal of unexpected interest in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ themed ensembles.
Number 1. Television. Zombies have long been an integral part of Halloween merriment, but this year it’s all about the celebrity ones. Among the most in-demand costumes this season are the ones developed and branded by the artists of ‘The Walking Dead’.
