What are this year's Halloween costume trends?
With Halloween quickly approaching, costume pieces are starting to be snatched up.
Spirit Halloween, the largest North American Halloween retailer, revealed the top costume trends for 2025 — with “KPop Demon Hunters”-inspired outfits taking over.
Released in June, the Netflix movie quickly became a cultural phenomenon, becoming the platform’s most-watched movie ever with more than 236 million views. Its soundtrack also took off, with four songs landing simultaneously in Billboard’s top 10.
“KPop Demon Hunters” tells the story of a K-pop girl group who hunt down mythical monsters in between performances. Their biggest threat is a rival boy band of demons in disguise.
The only officially licensed costumes from the movie will be available at Spirit Halloween, including the main characters Rumi, Mira and Zoey from the girl group HUNTR/X in the movie.
There are over 1,500 seasonal locations of Spirit Halloween opening in strip malls and centers across the continent.
“Halloween is the ultimate stage for self-expression, and no one brings that to life like Spirit Halloween fans,” said Steven Silverstein, CEO of Spirit Halloween.
With “Wicked: For Good” coming to theaters in November, pink and green ensembles representing characters Glinda and Elphaba are on the list as well. Spirit Halloween said these will be some of the most popular looks for besties.
