Trick-or-Treaters Going Ga Ga and All Hollywood

What are you going to be for Halloween?

That seems to be the question this week, whether you're a child headed out to trick-or-treat or an adult with plans to party.

The aisles at the two Spirit stores in Dublin have seen their share of shoppers and Halloween isn't for another week. So, what are people buying?

"We are selling a lot of Lady Gaga and Snow White costumes this year," said Spirit manager Saudia McLean.

 Alice in Wonderland, Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" and the Mad Hatter are popular, too, she said.

That's no surprise, because according to the National Retail Federation, pop culture and Hollywood continue to play a large role in costume choices. Thousands of children will hit the streets in costumes new on the list of most popular, according to the federation. This year, those kids will be dressed as Buzz Lightyear (648,000) and Harry Potter characters (459,000).

"Toy Story costumes are definitely popular this year and it seems everybody wants to be Jessie, the girl cowboy from the movie," said McLean.

The retail federation's research says that not everyone will follow Hollywood films. Instead, you'll greet plenty of princesses at the door this year, as 4.3 million children will dress as one. 

You might not want to wait until this weekend to shop.

"We're really busy on Saturday, so if you're looking for a certain costume, you should come before then," McLean said.

Since the Spirit stores are temporary, merchandise is limited.
