Marvel character get-ups are also popular, including Spiderman, Dr Strange, and Black Widow.

But despite pop-culture clearly being favoured this Halloween, a classic witch came in first place in the top 50 list.

More than a fifth (21 percent) believe October 31st is an opportunity for them to express the quirky side of their personality, while 18 percent put a lot of time and thought into their spooky look.

When it came to duos, Stranger Things’ Eleven and Mike, Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy – following the Wagatha Christie drama – and loved-up Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker featured.

It also found that despite no longer being PM, Boris Johnson came in at number 12 in the list of people Brits plan to dress up as.

The research was commissioned by wine brand 19 Crimes, ahead of launching its “Cut & Cork” barber shop Halloween takeovers.

Among the most influential TV shows and films for Halloween costumes, which will inspire the looks on offer at the 19 Crimes events, were Stranger Things, House of the Dragon, and Top Gun: Maverick.

Spokesman Ben Blake said: “It’s great to see how many people are planning to go all out for Halloween this year and express their quirkier sides through creative fancy dress.

“The results show it is clear that pop-culture has had a big impact on outfit options – whether it’s politicians, fictional characters, or celebrities.”

The study also found 43 percent plan to celebrate Halloween this year.

This includes attending or hosting a house party (25 percent), going on a night out (22 percent), and taking younger relatives trick-or-treating (21 percent).

Almost a fifth think outfits should be funny (19 percent), while 33 percent prefer scary.

Four in ten adults claim they are a fan of fancy dress, and typically spend £28.50 each on outfits, and more than an hour – 62 minutes – perfecting their look for the event.

And almost half go on to share photos of their Halloween appearances on social media.

A third even prefer fancy dress as an adult, compared to just 23 percent who enjoyed it more as a child.

People typically look at films (23 percent), TV shows (21 percent), and Instagram (18 percent) for inspiration, with 27 percent believing social media trends influence looks today.

Other ways in which fancy dress outfits have evolved over the years include off the shelf outfits being more available (29 percent), and people being more creative (28 percent).

A further one in five believe there are more group and couple outfit options nowadays, with 40 percent preferring to dress up as part of an ensemble, while 36 percent would rather be a solo character.

Of those polled, via OnePoll, 44 percent tend to buy a ready-made outfit, while 39 percent typically make their own.

Ben Blake, for 19 Crimes, added: “To celebrate the most subversive date in the calendar, we’re excited to launch the Cut & Cork event on the weekend of Halloween.

“People can come along to get ready with us and achieve Halloween grooming based on this survey’s most popular looks, with barbers on-hand for hair styling as well as professional make-up artists.

“Attendees will get party-ready looking their best, scariest – or most rebellious, depending on the aim.”

The “Cut and Cork” Halloween takeovers will take place at Barber Barber branches in Leeds, on Friday 28th October, and London, on Saturday 29th October.
