Charlie Sheen to win Halloween

Star set to be most popular costume

Charlie Sheen to win Halloween

To most of us, laughing at how unhinged Charlie Sheen is seems a bit March 2011 now.

But it seems that the joke hasn't run out of mileage just yet. As we get closer to Halloween, it looks like Sheenmania, a term we've literally just coined, will reach catastrophic proportions.

Spirit Halloween, one of America's largest seasonal retailers, has announced that the Charlie Sheen costume is set to be the most popular, come October 31st. Which means that you can expect a parade of Sheens trick or treating for crack in a few weeks.

As well as Sheen proving popular for the men, women are set to emulate Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Snooki. Well, it's slightly more inventive than being a slutty cat for the 7th year in a row.

We can also expect more zombies, thanks to The Walking Dead and some kids dressing up as Angry Birds. Excited? Anyone?

Here's a teaser of what to expect at Halloween...
