There’s no reason to delay getting in the spirit of Halloween as popular costume retailers begin to release this year’s slate of pop culture-inspired looks. From Spirit Halloween to BoxLunch to PetSmart, there are a ton of fandom fits across stores and online for the while family.
For Squid Game fans we’re excited about the official collaboration between Spirit Halloween and the Netflix hit show. Fans can dress up as players, guards, and the Front Man and there’s an update for the Young-hee doll costume, which now comes in the pink and red look. On the accessories front there’s the fateful key from the final season and an inflatable Young-hee, perfect for posing with in your blood-spattered track suit.
There are also options of the more creepy and altogether ooky variety from another Netflix hit, Wednesday, with new costume looks inspired by season two of the show. Alas, there are no KPop Demon Hunters costumes yet but if you get crafty, you can DIY an outfit repping Huntr/x or the Saja Boys with band shirts available at BoxLunch—there’s more Nevermore fun there too.
Spirit Halloween also has a Jurassic Park collection that steps away from the recent franchise and focuses on the characters from the original film. So there are great Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and even Dennis Nedry options, but glaringly no Ian Malcolm. The dinosaur choices range from inflatables to cute baby velociraptors.
For a retro family ensemble, Sesame Street has an extensive monster costume collection at Spirit as well as Bums and Roses. The latter offers cozy, wearable, character-inspired outfits that allow for dressing comfortably without resorting to full fuzzy onesies, featuring sweaters and simple short-sleeve casual cosplay options.
As popular Disney Parks Halloween events begin, families can easily embrace the Disney bounding trend with Disney and Pixar outfits available at Posh Peanut. From comfy Mike or Sully Monsters Inc. hoodies to bamboo character outfits inspired by Alice in Wonderland to witchy velvet Hocus Pocus dresses, there are dynamic ways to play dress-up no matter how old you are.
There’s plenty for Disney fans out there, including a wild baby Edward Scissorhands costume and online retailer PatPat’s spooky Disney drops, which include Hundred Acre Wood friend-inspired playful dresses, cool weather Disney Princess looks, and matching Disney Halloween family sweaters.
And let’s not forget the pets! PetSmart has doggie fits to get them in on the group costume action with looks inspired by Pixar and for superhero fans, Superman’s best bud, Krypto.
