As every year, on the night of October 31, witches get off their brooms, zombies leave their graves and vampires take the opportunity to meet new victims.

Although it is not tradition in Spain to celebrate the Anglo-Saxon Halloween party, globalization has brought pumpkins and some tricks or treats. The most terrifying night of the year opens a range of possibilities for celebrations and costume parties that Spanish night businesses have taken advantage of.

The only requirement to live a scary night? Find a costume . And, sometimes, this can be a nightmare.

Everything suggests that the Joker costume, the highest grossing adult film in history, will be one of the most used during Halloween parties. And social networks have already placed their bets.

"The best-selling costumes during the week have been that of Joker and the IT clown, " he confesses in a telephone interview with FCINCO The Costume House . "Joker's costume is practically sold out on the web. Also, many costumes have been sold from La Casa de Papel but it is more focused on group costumes," they say from The Costume House.

Other characters from movies or series that are currently in fashion also have their entourage. Costumes such as Maleficent , The Paper House , The Purge or the IT clown will also be represented on Halloween night.

"Movies and series always have a very big influence on the consumer both

adult as child ", they explain from Don Costume ." Cheerleader Zombie, Chucky, The House of Paper, the IT clown, Maleficent, The Tale of the Maid, Annabelle and the Joker are the top 8 of the best-selling costumes by Don Costume ".

Those who thought that they would wear the most original costumes of the party for interpreting the most viewed movies and series today, will become "one more Joker in this party" or a maze of red monkeys and masks of the surrealist artist Salvador Dalí.

However, there is another section within the Halloween costumes: the classics that do not go out of style.

Catrina

A colorful makeup and a headdress of flowers on the head can turn you into this Mexican figure with more than 100 years of history. The interpretations of Catrina , one of the most iconic characters of the Mexican Day of the Dead , are one of the most successful costumes for Halloween night, especially in the female sector.

Although many Mexicans believe that it is an offense towards their culture, since "Catrina is not a disguise." Mexican culture does not celebrate Halloween, if not the Day of the Dead in which people dress up to honor their deceased relatives, not to be scary.

Black cat

The black cat costume is another Halloween outfit that is always present at any terrifying party. Cat ears, a black set and mustaches as makeup are the escape route for a costume that does not go out of style.

The association of black cats with witchcraft and evil have caused these cats to be seen as carriers of bad luck.

Saw

Another of the classics for Halloween night is Billy , the main character puppet of the Saw horror saga . The white face, the red spirals of the cheeks, the bow tie and the tricycle are the necessary complements to get the remake of this character.

Zombie

The costume that is usually resorted to if Halloween has caught you in fright is zombie . The less original ones use a broken basic white T-shirt stained with artificial blood, torn black pants, carded hair and white makeup with blood.

In addition, the zombie costume can be combined with any character: zombie nurse, zombie princess, zombie baseball player ...

pumpkin

The symbolism of the pumpkin on Halloween has also resulted in one of the costumes that are not missing at any party. In addition, there are variations such as La Pumpkin Putilla and the Lottery Ballot , a costume used by couples and referring to the American series How I knew your mother .
