The Three TV Shows Most Likely To Spawn This Year's Popular Halloween Costumes

TV has always provided plenty of fodder for costume ideas for Halloween, and given most pop culture experts say we are now living in a golden age of TV with more choices than ever before when it comes to great drama, it is highly likely that a lot of party goers this year will be going to the likes of Showtime, HBO and AMC for inspiration. While some shows have always been pretty obvious sources of Halloween costume ideas (such as The Walking Dead – after all, anyone can throw together a zombie costume out of stuff they have at home so it is a great short notice solution), three shows that have dominated the TV and entertainment headlines this year are sure to feature more than most:

Fantastic Four #5 (July 1962), Doctor Doom's first appearance. (Wikipedia)

In our world of crime and villainy, it is good to be able to enter a world where the villains are evil but acceptable because of their evil.
