According to CNN Money, recently deceased stars are a popular choice for Halloween costumes this year. And it makes sense: actors, musicians, and other personalities we loved have passed on, and it’s a timely chance to pay them one last tribute.

So for those whom we loved and were taken too soon, who do we think will top the list?
