Halloween candy: A brief history
Let's take a brief look at the history behind Halloween candy and how it became the sweetest day of the year.
"Pop culture references will be huge this year," the Halloween & Costume Association said in a statement.
The association noted that couples, families and groups are looking for humorous costumes that are based on "classic fun." That includes the Sazerac Company’s licensed Fireball Whisky couple costume and "The Price is Right" game show contestant costume pack for four.
Nostalgic costumes will have a "big influence" this season with "Ghostbusters," "The Addams Family," and "Dracula" being three notable standouts, according to Halloween & Costume Association.
The association said werewolves and characters from Universal Classic Monsters (the Universal Pictures horror film franchises from 1930s to the 1950s) will make an impression.
