LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- In the midst of the spreading of Ebola to the United States, Halloween stores are stocking up on an unlikely costume: Hazmat suits, respirators and gas masks.



The costume was originally inspired by the hit TV series "Breaking Bad," according to one Halloween store worker. Now it may become popular because the suit looks like it protects against the potentially deadly Ebola virus.
