Some of this year's other popular Halloween attire is based on popular TV shows.

You have your choice of "Duck Dynasty" characters like Willie or Uncle Si. You can also piece together your own outfit to emulate the show. If you want something a little more scary or intense, check out the "Zombie Zone." Costumes from the show "The Walking Dead" are huge this year.

If scary is not your thing, what about sexy?  

"The cops, naughty nurses, stuff like that is what the girls are going for," said Justin Moses from Spirit Halloween.

Moses said another theme you will see a lot of this year: superheroes like Superman, Batman and Ironman.

"Those are really hot this year," Moses said.  

No matter what you choose, you may want to decide quickly! The 'hot' stuff is selling fast.

If you don't find it in the store, you can always ask when the next shipment is expected and be there when it arrives.

Moses said, "We still gets shipments weekly up until the week of Halloween, so we try to keep the store as stocked as we can."
