The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the top-selling children's costume is the princess, followed by Star Wars characters, witches and Spider Man. Adults are going for witches, vampires and celebrities. Advertisement "Simplicity is easiest for people," said Tim Dennis, manager of Fantasy Costumes in Chicago, told the newspaper. Courtland Hickey of Chicago Costume Company agreed that top sellers tend to be old standbys. But he said the company is also doing well with more trendy fare, including plug and socket outfits for couples and a Roy Horn costume featuring the performer who was attacked by a tiger last year with a tiger attached to the neck. Kristin LaVoie and Eugenya Brener, both sophomores at DePaul University, are going for the woman in a uniform look, with one planning to be a chambermaid and the other a police officer. "Girls just want to look pretty, hot and sexy, and the guys just want to be bloody and scary," Brener said.
