The fact of it is, Halloween is becoming a holiday that can be enjoyed
by the whole family – not just the very young. However, there seems to
be a gap between the sexy adult Halloween costumes and the Halloween
costumes worn by children in preschool and elementary school. This gap
is becoming filled by a set of costumes marketed directly by to this
middle group.

Superman and Supergirl/Superwoman

The cartoons, movies, and comics have made these characters popular with
all age groups. While a simple costume may seem childish, a few tweaks
and it can be sexy and cool. Everyone loves a super hero, and you are
sure to see a few of these flying about your town on Halloween night.

Batman

Another member in the superhero lineup, the darker side of Batman seems
perfectly suited for Halloween, especially the version from Batman
Returns. Like the Superman costume, this is a classic for all ages,
though certain detailing will definitely differentiate and adult/teen
costume from a child's costume.

Soldier

Due to the chaotic world events, the popularity of soldier costumes is
increasing. Plus, this costume can be relatively easy to put together
with all the camouflage clothing that is readily available. Some face
paint and your look is complete. Parents should be aware, however, that
this costume does offer low visibility to oncoming traffic at night.

Ghosts and demons

These costumes are also relatively easy to put together with the help of
a mask and/or some face paint, making them a popular choice for young
adults on the go. The "Scream" movie ghost is one popular addition to
this category.

Klownz

Bad spelling aside, these clown costumes are marketed towards the young
adult crowd. They have a more modern design look to them, and are not as
scary as an adult costume might be but not as silly as a child's
costume. Instead of the robes usually worn, these costumes often utilize
jackets and jumpers, making them popular with teens.

Fading light Phantoms
For teens willing to spend a little extra money on their Halloween
costume, these specialty masks can give a spooky effect after dark.
Basically the mask includes mounted lights that are set to fade in and
out, creating a creepy effect in the dark. Add to that they are easy to
wear, and it is no wonder they are so popular with teens.

Parents should keep in mind that many young adult costumes are not
designed to be as visible to cars and other people as a child's costume
might be. Because of this, some parents choose to attach reflective tape
to the costume in some fashion, or have their children carry flashlights
or glow sticks to make them more visible to oncoming traffic.
