Everyone wants to be popular, right? Even on Halloween, you want to have the most popular costume to wear or flaunt.

So what are the best sellers this Halloween? Here are the results from some of the largest costume retailers in the U.S. Scroll to the bottom to see boots.

The media has a huge impact on what is popular. That is the case this year as well. Almost all the popular costumes were because of movies, video games, and books. A few come from popular culture.

Alice in Wonderland, the 2010 fantasy movie directed by Tim Burton, left its mark. Three of the bestselling outfits this year are memorable characters. This is based on the classic, strange story by Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, written in 1865.

First is Alice herself, a girl who falls into a hole and enters a mysterious world, in a plain blue dress. Then there is the Red Queen, in a velvet and gold dress with poufy skirt, crown, and huge collar.

Perhaps the most recognizable of the characters, the Mad Hatter, is popular for men this year. He wears a velvet jacket and gigantic top hat.
