Film and show tie-in costumes dominated once again, confirming that whatever&#8217;s dominating the group chat in October is also what&#8217;s showing up at the door on the 31st \u2014 Halloween has become less about generic spooky archetypes and more a live snapshot of the year&#8217;s most-watched screens.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Music&#8217;s Biggest Year<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the music side, 2026 delivered one of the year&#8217;s more talked-about releases when Miley Cyrus dropped her tenth studio album.

Both are quiet signals of where the next wave of &#8220;what everyone&#8217;s watching&#8221; \u2014 and dressing up as \u2014 is likely to come from.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Costumes are a strange but reliable cultural thermometer. If this year&#8217;s lineup is any indication, 2026 will be remembered less for one dominant franchise and more for just how many different screens people were actually paying attention to.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year, Halloween doubles as an unofficial poll on what actually mattered in pop culture \u2014 and this year&#8217;s costume data has some clear favorites.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2256","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-culture"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2256"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2262,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2256\/revisions\/2262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/traroro.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
