Still looking for a Halloween costume idea? Maybe a look at the most popular choices for this Thursday will help you decide which one to go with – or avoid completely.
On the one hand, you may like one of these popular Halloween costume ideas because you know it’ll be trendy. On the other, using one of these choices means you’re risking someone else attending a Halloween party looking just like you. Hmm, wouldn’t that be a fun picture, though?
To get you in the Halloween spirit, Fandango surveyed moviegoers to find out what movie-inspired picks they decided to dress up as this year. The findings were broken down into four categories and the results follow.

1. Thor (“Thor: The Dark World”) 21%
2. Superman (“Man of Steel”) 13%
3. Iron Man (“Iron Man 3″) 13%

Many of these choices won’t surprise you because they are related to upcoming or just-released movies. We were surprised to see a character from the new Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa already making the cut (we may have the positive reviews to thank). On the kids side, we’re not surprised to see a Smurfette and a Minion rank high considering they were summer blockbusters.
Last week we brought you Halloween costume ideas that are inspired by fandoms we cover and are quick, cheap, and easy to create last-minute.
Did these costumes for Halloween inspire you? Will you get in the Halloween spirit this week and play along with all the ghostly fun-seekers?
Hypable plans to ask for your Halloween costume photos soon so we can put together a gallery of viewer creations. Stay tuned!
Halloween 2013 is this Thursday, October 31. Despite this, many celebrated this past weekend and many more plan to celebrate this upcoming weekend.
