Each year, the trendiest Halloween costumes are typically derived from the year's most talked-about news stories.
And in 2015, there are plenty of choices that are sure to be the highlight of this year's festivities...Some are positive, some are controversial.
For instance, Kim Davis is expected to be one of the most popular costumes this year.
She's the Kentucky court clerk who refused to grant marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
