PRNewswire – BuyCostumes.com, the world’s largest e-tailer of costumes and accessories, has seen an unprecedented increase in hits to its website and sales of costumes over the past month. Halloween, now a three-month “season” for BuyCostumes.com and a $7 billion industry, seems to be providing Americans with a much-needed spell of family, fun, and fashion.
Traditionally, Hollywood and blockbuster movies drive Halloween fashion choices and this year is no different. Interestingly, two of Johnny Depp’s characters have pulled into the running for hottest costumes of ’05: Captain Jack Sparrow from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and Willy Wonka from Tim Burton’s latest adaptation of that fan favorite.
“Everyone just wants to have a good time, laugh a little, try on an alter-ego, and escape daily life in a costume.”
