The Halloween Costume Results Are In
If you’re handing out candy this year, expect to hear “Trick ARRR Treat” when opening the door. The Pirate projects to be the most popular 2024 Massachusetts Halloween costume — so grab your eye patches and peg legs before it’s too late.
Next on the list is Batman. Although you’ll have to wait until 2026 to catch Robert Pattinson’s return as the Caped Crusader in The Batman Part II, there will be no shortage of Dark Knights across Massachusetts this Halloween. Interestingly, Pattinson is no stranger to portraying number three on our list either. In 2008, Pattinson appeared in his breakout role as the vampire Edward Cullen in the hit adaptation of the young adult series Twilight.
Taylor Swift finds herself in a tie for fourth place on our list of the most popular 2024 Halloween costumes in Massachusetts. Despite her massively successful Eras Tour becoming the first-ever musical tour to earn over $1 billion dollars, Taylor Swift costumes are expected to be about as popular as Clown costumes this Halloween.
Another extraordinarily famous blond, Barbie, checks in at number six on our list. In fact, Barbie also grossed over $1 billion dollars in ticket sales recently thanks to the mega-success of director Greta Gerwig’s big-screen adaptation of the Mattel toy. And if you wanted to combine your Barbie costume with the seventh most popular Massachusetts Halloween costume, you could dress up as Cheerleading Barbie.
At number eight on our list, we have Wolverine, who recently made his return to the big screen this summer, with Hugh Jackman reprising his iconic role in Deadpool & Wolverine. Finally, two more classic costumes — the princess and the cowboy — round out our list of 2024’s most popular Halloween costumes.
