Each Halloween you see scads of folks wearing the same costumes. Last year it was the damn black swan, and meanwhile Slash and the LMFAO guys seem to turn up annually. So this year we're handicapping the proceedings. You can pretty much bet you'll see some of the following music-related costumes when you hit the town. And, just in case you want to jump on the bandwagon yourself, we've also included some pros and cons of each.

4. Gwen Stefani
Materials needed: White tank top; black bra; saggy, boy-cut pants;
blonde hair/wig styled in a glamorous pompadour; signature red lipstick. Go for her '90s look. Pros: Here's your big chance to get away with wearing a black bra under a white shirt. You can leave big red kiss marks on everyone you meet.
Cons: The blonde wig may get itchy. Your friends might not appreciate hearing you sing "Just a Girl" all night.
