Halloween costumes get stranger

Besides timeless classic Halloween costumes — witches, monsters, and the like, it's fun to see what's trending in any given year.

With that in mind, here are some ideas sure to pop up in 2019:

* Anything Stranger Things-related. The hit Netflix show has a suitably horrifying monster (the demogorgon) and a fun cast of characters. Undoubtedly, you'll see Scoops Ahoy outfits, Slurpee-sipping scientists, fertilizer-nibbling grandmas, and Jazzercise outfits.

* Forky from Toy Story 4, the newest character in the series.

* Anything from Game of Thrones.

* Throwbacks-that-aren't-throwbacks. This was the year for remakes of The Lion King and Aladdin, Mary Poppins Returns, Detective Pikachu, and an Elton John movie, among others.

* Baby Shark: Doo doo doo doo doo doo.

* Avengers Endgame or Captain America characters.
