Escapade has revealed its predictions for the most popular costumes for Halloween 2010.

LONDON, ENGLAND, October 20, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Escapade fancy dress have used visitor trending, social networking and sales to date to uncover their predicted best sellers for Halloween 2010 and along the way they have uncovered a few surprises.

As expected popular culture plays an important role in this year's predictions with a large number of users looking for fancy dress costumes related to recent blockbuster films. Queries and purchases of vampire related costumes, fangs and capes are expected to grow continually due to the success of the 'Twilight' series, while the new, upcoming 'Harry Potter' installment has been directly reflected in costume purchases and visitor trending for the franchise on the Escapade site.

Another expected increase is the search for 'Alice and Wonderland' costumes and, in particular, costumes based on the character of the Mad Hatter, which have proven to be a popular choice since the release of Tim Burton's film earlier this year.

Classic cult films also have a large influence on the types of costumes typically chosen for Halloween with costumes from the films 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Halloween' and 'Nightmare on Elm Street' being among the most consistent performers year in and out. Recent additions of female versions of the iconic horror film costumes have also proven to be increasingly popular with new Freddy Krueger and Chucky costumes for men and women rising rapidly in popularity.

However the research has also uncovered a few big surprises this year with increases of up to 35% in searches looking for comedy based costumes and large increases in sales of comedy costumes in comparison to the last two years.

Director of Escapade, Bhupendra Maisuria, said: "We believe that the current visitor trend towards comedy related costumes is a direct result of people looking to escape from the reality of today's economy. More and more people are having fancy dress parties at home and embracing the fun side of life and we expect this to continue well into the New Year."
