PEORIA- The costume trunk in Peoria says it's been busy with people getting ready for one of the biggest dress-up days of the year.
Owner Steve Spain said trends right now are zombies, vampires and pirates. He said a popular couple costume is an Arnold Swarchenegger mask and a maid costume.
The traditional routes like witches and superheroes are also still in style. Spain also talked about the most popular group costume.
"Probably Wizard of Oz because you can do the tin man and the scarecrow and Dorothy and the mayor and then however many people you have they can all be munchkins," Spain said.
Spain said you'll probably see a lot of Obama and Romney masks on Halloween, and that he's selling more of Obama.
Nationally Spirit Halloween said the mask of the president's face has been outselling Romney's, by a margin of 60 percent to 40 percent.
The retailer has correctly predicted the outcome of every presidential election since 1996, based on the mask sales.
