While many Iowans plan to don a Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton mask at this weekend’s costume parties, those aren’t the most popular disguises at one of the state’s biggest costume stores. Kathy Harkrader, at the Theatrical Shop in West Des Moines, says a cloaked crusader is this Halloween’s super-seller. “You know who takes the top slot and he’s done it for several years now,” Harkrader says, “is Batman himself.”
Harkrader says Superman, Spiderman and Wonder Woman costumes are also moving quickly this season, as are several of the Star Wars characters. She says, “There’s been so many superhero movies out and that normally sets the trends for costumes for what’s popular for adults and kids both.”
For trick-or-treaters who want to make a political statement, the store is selling plenty of rubber masks that resemble the two main party presidential candidates, but one of them is edging ahead, at least in terms of sales. “We have lots of customers coming in looking for the masks or the wigs or Donald Trump’s hat, the red-billed hat,” she says. “By our standards here, just by looking at the merchandise, Hillary is ahead.”
Harkrader says other Halloween favorites this year are more traditional, including: Dracula, Frankenstein and witches.

(In an update to our earlier report) The Iowa State Patrol says a man from central Iowa was injured during a rollover accident Thursday night on Interstate 80, near Shelby. 23-year old Antonio Gonzalez, of Monroe, was driving a 1998 Ford Ranger pickup westbound on I-80 near the 33.55-mile marker at around 6:55-p.m., when the right rear tire separated from the wheel. The pickup went out of control and rolled into the median and continued to roll into the eastbound lanes of I-80 before coming to rest in both lanes on the eastbound side.
Gonzalez, who was wearing his seat belt, reportedly suffered from head injuries, but was out of the vehicle when emergency crews arrived. He was transported by Shelby Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs. The pickup was totaled in the crash.
