Cropped Halloween 2025 intro — About this gallery:

For this list, we dug into **Google Frightgeist** – yep, the spooky little corner of Google Trends that tracks what everyone’s searching for this Halloween. So expect some obvious favorites (you know who you are) mixed with a few wildcards – like those random old costumes that somehow clawed their way back into popularity in 2025. Because nothing says “Halloween spirit” like the internet collectively deciding to revive something no one asked for. | © Netflix

Cropped The Lorax — 10. The Lorax (Dr. Seuss)

The mustard-moustachioed guardian of the forest is suddenly the internet’s favourite Halloween pick – thanks to a viral TikTok dress-up trend that spun the character into meme-status. What started with one creator wearing the full orange bodysuit and oversized moustache morphed into thousands copying the look, often with a wry wink. A recent Jonas Brothers concert even saw a fan on stage rocking it, and social media lit up. It’s the perfect combo of childhood icon + ironic humour + DIY-friendly costume. So yes, in 2025 it’s totally normal to show up at a party as The Lorax – and people will get it. | © Illumination Entertainment

Elphaba Wicked — 9. Elphaba (Wicked)

You know the green-skinned witch with attitude and a bucket-list of “I’m not wicked, I’m me”? Elphaba has carved out her Halloween niche once again. Whether it’s the iconic green-face makeup, pointed hat, or the bold fashion of Oz’s rebellious favorite, this one gives major character-depth compared to your standard ghost or cat ears. Fans are drawn to her arc and style: empowered, edgy, and effortlessly dramatic. If you’ve got some green makeup talent (or friend who does), this costume can hit the sweet spot of “I know the musical” and “I’m pulling this off.” | © Universal Pictures

Cropped Derpy K Pop Demon Hunters — 8. Derpy (K-Pop Demon Hunters)

In the whirlwind world of K-pop and demon-slaying visuals, Derpy emerged as a dark-horse Halloween pick for 2025. He's less about spooky masks and more about vibrant fashion, messy hair, and an attitude that says “yes I kill demons, and I did it in stilettos.” If you’re cosplaying Derpy, you’re basically telling the world you’re in on the pop-culture joke *and* you can throw together something fierce by October. Bonus: friends who recognize him will nod approvingly while others will ask, “Who’s that?” and you get to drop the origin tale. | © (Production company unknown)

Cropped imagen 2025 10 23 012801406 — 7. Labubu

What started as a cute, toothy collectible figure from Pop Mart morphed into a full-blown costume trend – Labubu’s weird little monster look is stealing Halloween this year. Think oversized plush ears, exaggerated grin, fuzzy body suit or hoodie, and an air of ironic detachment. It works whether you’re in it for the toy-tok meme or legitimately love quirky pop-toy culture. The beauty is: you don’t need tons of back-story or pressure to explain it – people just nod and go, “I saw the doll online.” If you want low-stress, socially savvy costume energy, this one is gold. | © Parker/Stone Productions

Chicken Jockey A Minecraft Movie — 6. Chicken Jockey (A Minecraft Movie)

Yes, a Halloween costume inspired by a baby zombie riding a chicken in *Minecraft* is absolutely happening – and *yes*, the internet is here for it. The Chicken Jockey combo nails the “I’m weird, I know it, I’ll lean into it” grade of Halloween. You could do a little zombie makeup, slap on a chicken-toy harness, and boom – you’re viral potential. Plus, it’s easy to DIY (zombie + bird = chaos) and might spark some laughs. It’s not high-brow, it’s not serious – it’s perfectly meme-loaded for 2025. | © Warner Bros. Pictures

Baby saja kpop demon hunters — 5. Baby Saja (KPop Demon Hunters)

Imagine turning up to Halloween as the baby-faced rapper demon who hid beneath idol glitz – that’s the delightfully absurd costume potential of Baby Saja. With his twist of K-pop boy band charm and behind-the-scenes demon menace, this character gives you a chance to balance cute and creepy in one outfit. You could go full idol stage look, microphone included, then unleash the devilish grin or subtle horns once you hit the party. For Halloween 2025, it’s a smart choice: most people will ask “who?” and you get to drop the lore. Add in a little red-eyed contact lens for extra effect, and you’ve got yourself a festival costume that says “I know the meme and you don’t.” | © Sony Pictures Animation

Jinu K Pop Demon Hunters — 4. Jinu (KPop Demon Hunters)

Picking Jinu for Halloween means embodying the slick, charismatic leader of the Saja Boys who moonlights as a demon idol – yes, that dual identity is your costume goldmine. Think slick hair, tailored dark stage outfit, subtle demonic hints (glowing eyes, talon nails) and maybe a “Your Idol” sticker or badge to tie it in. It’s ideal if you want to rock a look that says “I’m the star of the party and I might be evil.” Bonus: this one lets you lean heavy into attitude, which always wins in costume contests. For 2025, this is a top pick for anyone who wants to lead the pack rather than follow it. | © Sony Pictures Animation

Mira K Pop Demon Hunters — 3. Mira (KPop Demon Hunters)

If your Halloween mood is more “glamorous demon-hunter idol” than “cute monster,” Mira delivers with style. She’s the choreographer-queen of HUNTR/X, stage-ready and battle-equipped – so your costume can look high-fashion and high-stakes at once. You might go for the sparkly stage outfit, polearm prop, and that confident sneer that says “I choreograph the fight.” The beauty of this pick is the layering: pop-idol sparkle upfront, demon-hunter seriousness underneath. In 2025, when everyone’s looking for something with character depth, choosing Mira means you’re ahead of the curve. | © Sony Pictures Animation

Zoey K Pop Demon Hunters — 2. Zoey (KPop Demon Hunters)

Running towards fun with this one? Zoey’s your Halloween ticket. As the youngest rapper in HUNTR/X, she brings vibrant energy, bold fashion and just enough supernatural edge to dominate any costume lineup. Costume elements like oversized headphones, neon stage outfit, demon-hunter gauntlet or glowing blade set you apart. What makes Zoey really shine is the combination of pop-idol accessibility and secret warrior identity – it means your costume hits both the “look-at-me” and “wait-what?” notes. For 2025, expect trick-or-treaters and party-guests alike to do a double-take. | © Sony Pictures Animation

Rumi K Pop Demon Hunters — 1. Rumi (KPop Demon Hunters)

At the top of this list for 2025 is Rumi – and it’s easy to see why: leader of HUNTR/X, half-demon secret identity, killer vocals and the full emotional arc. Dressing as Rumi means you’re not just picking a costume; you’re embodying a story. You can lean into her stage elegance (glittering outfit, mic in hand) or choose the demon-hunter version (sai geom sword, glowing marks, fierce stance). Either way, you’ll be the standout in the room. Plus, the character’s popularity is sky-rocketing thanks to the film’s viral soundtrack. If you go Rumi, you’re going big – exactly what Halloween 2025 wants. | © Sony Pictures Animation
