I found top 2024 Halloween trends in UK with last minute deals for Beetlejuice, Deadpool outfits and more

Halloween costume trends for 2024 are being dominated by superheroes and movie characters rather than regular scary creatures. Although there’s some quirky British fancy dress options proving popular on fright night.

Party-goers and parents searching for outfits look to be turning to Deadpool, Barbie and Beetlejuice rather than witches and skeletons. Some of the biggest trends for Halloween costumes this year, according to Google searches globally, were analysed by Outdoor Toys, which has 50% off many items in a Halloween Sale.

They found that Marvel and DC icons including Spiderman are dominating this year’s costumes as the films become ever more popular. Even on Amazon UK’s Halloween bestseller list, it was heavily weighted towards movie characters.

Here’s some of the Halloween costumes that look set to be in fashion this year and bargain deals for them.

Deadpool Halloween costumes

Top of the trending list on Google is Deadpool, following on from his outing with Wolverine in the blockbuster movie this year. The Deadpool costumes are also among the big sellers on Amazon’s UK site.
