Halloween is just days away and in case you haven’t decided how you’ll dress up this year a costumer from Southern Costume Company in New Orleans said why not dress up as your favorite movie or TV character? Macie Breaux said the premiere of the TV series Interview with a Vampire has inspired several of their customers.
“We’re having a huge surge of historically accurate costumes. Bridgerton with the regency era is a huge one this year,” said Breaux.
In addition to supplying costumes for productions filming in New Orleans, Breaux said they offer costume rentals to the public for Mardi Gras and Halloween. Breaux said last year the series Stranger Things inspired customers and it’s again popular this year too.
Breaux said working as a costumer in New Orleans she’s heard and seen it all when it comes to disguises for Halloween.
“You never really know what to expect from people. I do like it when they think outside of the box, but we definitely have some off-the-wall stuff on a daily basis here in New Orleans,” said Breaux.
And while Halloween business is typically brisk from the end of September until the end of October, Breaux said if you haven’t picked out your costume yet, you’re not alone.
“We honestly get slammed pack the week before Halloween, like this week is crazy, crazy. People like to do last minute but it’s ok we’re here for it,” said Breaux.
According to Google Trends the most searched Halloween costume this year is a witch, inspired by the recent release of Hocus Pocus 2.
