Who's Coming for Halloween 2013?

The National Retail Federation says you should expect traditional favorites and an abundance of Batman on Halloween.


You've likely planned well enough ahead to not have to worry about what your Halloween costume your wearing. But if that's not the case, see what's available around town.

Curious about who's coming to the door or who you might see out and about? The traditional is still 'in,' according to the National Retail Federation. The results of the organization's 2013 Top Costumes Survey shows adults  gravitated toward witches (5 million) and Gotham's Dark Knight (2.9 million). Batman was third among children surveyed at 2.5 million, behind an animal (2.8 million) and princess (3.8 million).

Here are the top five, according to the survey.

  • Zombie
  • Pirate

For Kids
