“I feel like (we'll see) anything from Euphoria,” Vo said. “Also, it’s kind of twisted … but Jeffrey Dahmer. I think that’s going to be kind of big, unfortunately. It’s really scary to think about.”

Like Vo, Lyman Briggs freshman Shashank Pagadala said he thinks some questionable costumes will rise in popularity.

“Definitely people like Kanye West, or Joe Biden,” Pagadala said. “Pretty much anybody who’s being talked about a lot this year. Obviously, with the whole controversy surrounding Kanye, I’m sure people are going to attend as him.”

Pagadala also noted that many students will opt to go as movie characters, such as Patrick Bateman and Maverick.

“(Characters) from the Wolf of Wall Street,” Pagadala said. “Or from Men in Black. Like people are just wearing suits and stuff, which is kind of cool.”

In addition to controversial characters, Human biology sophomore Nithila Kannan said she expects to see costumes that appropriate cultures, like dressing as Greek gods and goddesses.

“Someone being a Greek person or something – not actually like a Greek goddess, but just calling themselves a Greek girl or Greek guy, I feel like that's kind of controversial,” Kannan said. “If you think about it, ... (it’s) where you're trying to use some other person's culture.”

Kannan said she expects lots of people to go as hippies, fairies and Barbies. Vo herself will dress up as a fairy for one night.

“I have it all planned out,” Vo said. “A vampire another night. I’m going to be Cosmo and Wanda with (my friend) … and a spy.”

Vo said she knows others who will celebrate Halloween as cowgirls, ghosts, and characters from Mean Girls. Similarly, Pagadala plans to dress up as a cowboy.

“It’s pretty simple, but there are a few clothes that could really complete the look,” Pagadala said. “I also love when people do icons, like anybody famous. Last year, somebody dressed up as George Washington, I found that really funny. I think last week, there was a Halloween event and somebody went as … Elvis.”

With ever-evolving popular culture, costumes trends can look different from year to year.

“(This year) I was an alien. … I think one of my favorite costumes was Cheetah girl from last year,” Kannan said. “I think it was very different from what people usually do.”

For people looking for niche costumes that are still relevant, Vo said she thinks that cartoon characters are great choices.

“Anything to do with cartoons from when we were younger,” she said. “I know someone who’s going as Courage the Cowardly Dog. Or Spongebob, I love seeing costumes from Spongebob.”
