New For 2009- Men's Costumes from Pop Culture

While checking out the new for 2009 Costumes on BuyCostumes.com, I noticed a few trends. First one I will comment on are the new costumes that follow trends in popular culture. This includes movies, TV, and Celebrities that men aspire to be on October 31. In my mind, I know I usually see a lot of repeats of costumes from popular culture and the following seem to be the candidates for this year. Not saying that repeats are a bad thing, as you can really try to outdo everyone else with your own personal flair. So, below is my Top 10 list...


Star Trek: We have a bunch of realistic Star Trek Costumes in accordance with the new movie that came out this year. Definitely a great group costume idea, but you will be easily identifiable on your own. These costumes have got to be comfortable and easy to go out in. Nothing hanging off your costumes to get stuck on something to accidently hit someone in the face!


Wolverine Origins: Everyone will recognize you in these costumes! Another highly anticipated movie that came out this year! I think that the gloves with claws are reason enough to check out this costume! Everyone loves superheroes and mutants, so it's sure to be a hit!

Captain America: In a previous post, we mentioned how Captain America is back from the dead! Brings you to the Captain America Costume. Once again, another GREAT superhero costume and is patriotic at the same time! This costume is INFLATABLE, to show off those muscles that you recently acquired for Halloween. Just make sure your head doesn't inflate with your fake muscles. Also a great Couples costume!

Sweeney Todd: Anyone that has seen the movie or Broadway play, can attest that Sweeney Todd fits into Halloween any day of the year. He's gory, murderous, and dreadful. It's also a historical costume, which is pretty cool too. Breaking into song is allowed, but I'm sure inviting people to sit in your private barber's chair won't be!

Spiderman: Just a plain out cool costume that everyone recognizes. Once again, also pretty neat to be a superhero for the day, but just make sure to remember that although you may think it, your spidey senses may just not be as top notch as the real deal.

G.I. Joe- Rise of the Cobra: This costume has endless possibilities for accessories and most of them are weapons. The new GI Joe Movie is packed with action, even though it seemed to have received mixed reviews. Ninja costumes are classic, but these ones put a modern twist on it!

Watchmen: This DC Comics Movie came out early this year and included some pretty interesting special effects. Become Rorschach for the night and invite your friends to be the other Watchmen.

Sesame Street: Might not seem like the macho costume you've been looking for but wil people will definitely "Awww" when they see you. This great line of costumes includes Bert & Ernie, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, Elmo and my personal favorite, SUPER GROVER! These costumes are for the serious Costumer and should be worn more than once! Reuse it for your kid's birthday party!

Racecar Driver: Anyone ever tell you that you look like Jeff Gordon? Well, you can be sure to trick everyone with these costumes of NASCAR drivers. Bring along a fully stocked pit crew and racing team for a great group idea! Tony Stewart and Dale Jr. are at the wheel too!

Transformers: Bumblebee, Megatron, and Optimus Prime..Which one will you be transformed into? Bring back the nostalgia and popularituy with these Transformer costumes. Easy to move around in and keep you warm for the colder climates.
