^You could be cool like me and go as my best Halloween costume ever. Hell yeah I was a Street Shark back in the day. If you know what that is...you're cool in my book. Anyway let's get to some modern costumes. Our friends at Freighgeist used Google search trends for our area to figure out which costumes everyone is looking up for this year. Here are the top five for 2023

Number 1 Halloween Costume for Wichita Falls 2023 (Barbie)

Barbie...yeah no surprise here. Barbie was the biggest movie of 2023. This always leads to a surge in costumes. Good luck to you guys that will be forced to dress up as Ken.

Number 2 Halloween Costume for Wichita Falls 2023 (Princess)

Well we go generic with this Princess, could be...well any princess I guess. My assumption would be Princess Peach since the Super Mario Movie was huge this year, but the Disney Princesses are always a hit.

Number 3 Halloween Costume for Wichita Falls 2023 (Spider-Man)

Another big movie this year was Across the Spiderverse. Any kids in my neighborhood dressing up as Spider Gwen get double candy. Doesn't matter the year, Spider-Man should always be somewhere in the top ten.

Number 4 Halloween Costume for Wichita Falls 2023 (Cowboy)

So Cowboy could mean many things. Could be Dallas Cowboy uniform or cheerleader outfit. I am assuming though they mean stereotypical Texas Cowboy for this one. I imagine every little Texan was a Cowboy at some point in time for Halloween.

Number 5 Halloween Costume for Wichita Falls 2023 (Bunny)

This could be an adorable bunny costume, but my mind went right to the Playboy bunny outfit. Playboy may not have the same impact as it did back in the day, but this costume will never die.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time. But just like fake blood in a carpet, every bit of Halloween’s history left an impression we can see traces of today.
