Each Halloween season, there are various classic themes people use to inspire their costume choice. Let’s discover the most popular trends of Halloween costumes this year 2011.
Katy Perry
Last year, with the meat dress, Lady Gaga was honored to be one of the hottest themes for Halloween costumes. One of the most popular dresses to take on the Lady Gaga theme this year could be the Jo Calderone outfit that she donned to MTV's Video Music Award Show. Besides, there will likely be some competition this year from singer Katy Perry. There are two main costumes sold in the stores and inspired by Perry’s “California Gurls” video with the price of $49.99.

Harry Potter
$29.99 and up may be the worthy price for Harry Potter costumes after the release of the final “Harry Potter” movie. Moreover, other characters’ costumes such as the evil Lord Voldemort, the Death Eater, the Tree Man and the Dementor are also well represented.
The costumes range from ones that are fairly standard issue Gryffindor Robes to more adult-takes on Potter theme

Morphsuits
With the retail of $49.95 and up, the original morphsuits which were made in solid colors changed to be more modern with many different patterns including flag patterns, a rainbow tie-dye version, black and white check, and several styles specifically for Halloween among others.
The Halloween morphsuits are inspired to design after popular holiday themes such as Frankenstein, witches, vampires and pumpkins
