From Barbie to the Bride of Frankenstein, the count is on to find this year's perfect Halloween costume.

Luckily, Spirit Halloween has announced their 2023 release of the hottest, newest and most anticipated costumes, and Runnemede-based Rasta Imposta Costumes has a hilarious catalog sure to bring in the laughs. Keep reading to see some of our favorites.

Barbie Halloween costumes

Barbie took over the blockbuster scene this year, so it only makes sense that she would be the reigning queen of Halloween as well.

Whether you want to emulate her retro skating, western or classic looks, Spirit Halloween has something to offer in their multiple South Jersey locations, like near the Deptford Taco Bell, across from the Cherry Hill Mall or off of East Route 130 in Burlington.

Not into horror and gore? Luckily Rasta Imposta has the gag costumes to keep you laughing, a category that commerce worker Jodi Berman said the company created.

While Berman said that their banana and pickle costumes are perennial best sellers, their couples costumes are perfect for any fun-loving duo, whether that be a canoe and paddle, notebook and pencil or so much more.
