'Frozen,' superhero, police costumes popular in Harford for Halloween

Porches are adorned in spooky decorations and pumpkins are everywhere in Harford County, a clear sign that trick-or-treating isn't far behind.

It's one thing to decorate a porch or a pumpkin; it's another thing to find the perfect costume to decorate your body and suit your personality.

Costume stores around Harford County have done a brisk business selling Halloween get-ups to kids ready to trick-or-treat as well as older people headed to costume parties.

Many people try to find unique or creative costumes to express their personalities, but despite the creativity, some things never change.

When it comes to dressing up for Halloween, superheroes and the heroes of popular movies remain mainstays for customers looking for new outfits, employees at Harford's costume stores said recently.

The most popular costume for 2014? Not surprisingly, it seems to be the star of one of the most successful movies in recent years: "Frozen."

"What's been really popular has been Elsa," Jason Glassman, assistant manager of Costume Cabaret, at Festival at Bel Air, said.

The character of Queen Elsa, also known as the Snow Queen, from the hit animated movie remains a highly coveted costume for both children and adults, Glassman said.

"Everyone comes in looking for Elsa," Michael Burke, assistant manager at Bel Air's Halloween City, said.

The store is owned by, and next to, Party City at Route 24 and Baltimore Pike.
