Halloween is quickly approaching and it’s time to start thinking about what costume you’ll use to scare friends and family. Here’s a list of the most topical and popular costumes of the Halloween 2014 season; not surprisingly, they’re all related to cinema:

1. Minions

Gru’s assistants have been crazy popular ever since the original Despicable Me came out in 2010. Because of last year’s uber-successful sequel, they’re in peak fashion once again.

2. Game of Thrones

The HBO series has brought the fantasy style to the mainstream, giving adults everywhere a chance to release their inner nerd.

3. The Hunger Games

Fans of the series will be anticipating the release of Mockingjay: Part 1 in November. Might as well get into costume 3 weeks early!

4. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Michael Bay’s recent reboot breathed new air into the franchise. Whether you decide on to go as a ninja turtle or as April O’Neil, the costume is sure to be a success.

5. The Lego Movie

Grossing nearly half a billion dollars, The Lego Movie surprised everyone with its popularity. It’s time to relive your childhood by dressing up like a Lego character. The options of characters are nearly endless.

These five options should give you a good head start on brainstorming for this year’s costume. Whatever costume you choose, the key is to own it and make it your own!
