Hollywood’s Big Role in Halloween Trends

With the end of the month quickly approaching, Hollywood is gearing up for another festive Halloween season in 2009.

Eager to show off their costume choices, the stars will be hosting and attending numerous parties across the country - including popular fetes at the Playboy mansion and the Roosevelt Hotel.

“Pop culture icons and Hollywood are having a big impact on Halloween costumes this year,” said Heather Siegel of HalloweenMart. “With Halloween just a few weeks away, there are several trends leading the way as costume favorites this season.”

According to HalloweenMart, the Top Five Adult Halloween Costume Trends for 2009 are as follows:

1. The Vampire: Box office hits like Twilight and television series like True Blood and The Vampire Diaries have made the vampire one of the must-have Halloween costumes this season.

2. Michael Jackson: Many will pay tribute to the King of Pop this fall with elaborate costumes inspired by some of Michael Jackson’s platinum-hit songs.

3. Reality Stars: Popular reality shows like E!’s Girl Next Door has idolized the robe-clad Hollywood legend Hugh Hefner and the identical twin ladies that make up this popular television series.
