There’s a good chance that if you were a ’90s kid that you wore at least one of these costumes.
Any kid growing up in the '90s probably remembers that there was always the one HOT COSTUME everyone wanted to wear each year. Well a few years ago, Halloween emporium the Spirit of Halloween looked back into its archives to identify just what was its hottest-selling pop culture costumes of the '90s.
1990: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Likely reason(s) why it was the most popular costume that year: 1990 was the peak of TMNT-mania, the then three-year-old cartoon series was still hugely popular among kids, and the live-action movie (which was released in the spring of that year) was a huge success that only helped keep the momentum going.

1991: The Terminator
Likely reason(s) why it was the most popular costume that year: Terminator 2: Judgment Day was the biggest film of 1991 (grossing over $500 million worldwide) and, every kid, teen, and adult wanted to be the badass Terminator for Halloween -- if only just to say,"Hasta la vista, baby."

1992: Catwoman
Likely reason(s) why it was the most popular costume that year: Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman was far and away the breakout character of Batman Returns. Seriously, they should have just cast her in The Dark Knight Rises.
