It's almost that time of year. The time of year where people buy their candy in bulk, put up their scariest decorations, and get their costumes ready. Halloween is around the corner, and people are doing their costume shopping. 2016 has been a big year and there is a lot of potential when it comes to costume ideas. You're sure to see some of the below costumes, as many people turn to media for great pop culture references this Halloween.
1. Donald Trump: This one goes without saying. Donald Trump has been the forefront of media, jokes, and conversation. I'm sure you'll see a ton of Trump masks and costumes.
2. Ken Bone: The legendary K-Bone gained popularity in the presidential debate with his stylish sweater and cartoonish features. Ken Bone would make for a great 2016 costume.
