When it comes to Halloween, it tends to be the people with the wildest imaginations that come up with the best costumes, but if you are struggling to come up with something original, NewsChannel 7 found out what some of the hottest costumes are this year.

The owner of Halloween Express in Wausau says most of the newly popular costumes are movie-based.

Costumes for characters from Watchmen and Star Trek have been flying off the shelves. Among children, G.I. Joe has been a hit.

Then, of course, there are the keystones that people seem to love year after year.

"It's amazing to me that there are people who always like the witches and the pirates and the vampires,” said Halloween Express owner Clint Zoromski.
