The Top Halloween Costumes in the Hudson Valley 2023

It is spooky season once again! A time to dress up and become someone or something else entirely. I love the theatrics of Halloween season, and it is just so much fun to get into.

What Are You Dressing Up as For Halloween?

The fact that I do a lot of theatre and film, I have collected hoard of costumes and wigs. My dad makes fun of me for all the different looks I have, especially the various wigs. My closet is full of superheroes like Superman, Batman and Captain America alongside blow-up costumes like The Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man from Ghost Busters and Pac Man. I also have my incredibly detailed Captain Jack Sparrow and Willy Wonka costumes. Not to mention, I have a Star Wars collection consisting of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader. If you need a cartoon character costume, I got Mickey Mouse! And if you need a wholesome painter, I have Bob Ross. If you couldn't tell already, I am a nerd!

But that's enough about my costumes, what are you dressing up as for Halloween this year? We put out a poll, and you hit us up on Facebook and our app! These are the top responses that we received! Is your contest not on this list? Let us know what you are doing for Halloween this year!
