Mon, 16 Oct 2006, 22:50:00 EDT
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Oct. 16 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- With Halloween rapidly approaching, and consumer demand for Halloween costumes, props and accessories forecasted to reach record levels, it's becoming apparent that Halloween 2006 is shaping up to be the year of the pirate, princess and super heroes! From silly to sublime to sexy, more people of all ages will be getting into the Halloween spirit and celebrating in costumes as the year's spookiest holiday approaches, say the folks at Masquerade LLC and New York City Costumes.
 According to the National Retail Federation's (NRF) Halloween Consumer Intentions and Actions Survey, conducted by BIG research, consumers are expected to spend $4.96 billion this Halloween, up significantly from just $3.29 billion a year ago.
What's driving consumer demand? The big spending increase is largely due to a surge in celebrating and NO Halloween celebration is complete without it's participants bedecked and bedazzled in the latest Halloween costumes.
And what will the "best-dressed" Halloween fanatics be tricking or treating in this year? Consumer polling by the NRF and early sales trends reported by leading Halloween Costume retailers New York Costumes (www.newyorkcostumes.com), one of America's fastest growing online costume retailers, and Halloween Adventure Costume Superstores (www.halloweenadventure.com) indicate the following will be among the Top Halloween Costume Trends for 2006:
