Most Popular Costumes: Princesses, Pirates, Witches and Superheroes
 We already looked at the most popular costumes for our furry friends. Here are lists for the most popular costumes for children and adults according to a study from the National Retail Federation (NRF).
In adult costumes witches are the clear favorite. Witches are still the top choice in this year's list just like they were in last years. That's the Vampira costume from BuyCostumes.com in the picture on the right.

 The princess costume is still topping the costume charts for kids. It is pretty similar to last year's list except Spider-Man's ranked a little higher this year. Superman does not appear to be as popular this year probably because there was no motion picture. That's the Rose princess costumes pictured on the right from eToys.com.
