Halloween 2025: Pop‑Culture Costumes, Netflix Playlists

Halloween 2025 costume trends are being driven by current pop culture, with Huntrix K‑pop demon‑hunter characters (notably Rumi and Zoey) topping search charts and retail demand. Gaming and IP‑based looks — including the viral Labubu doll and characters from recent films such as One Battle After Another and Bugonia — are also major influences, spawning both DIY thrift recreations and more elaborate cosplay. Celebrity Halloween moments (Addison Rae, Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss and others) are supplying additional inspiration and how‑to coverage, while many roundups emphasize budget‑friendly routes like flannels, onesies and simple props. Coverage also flags lists of oversexualized “sexy” costumes and urges more creative, respectful options. For families, streaming guidance centers on curated Netflix Halloween playlists and critics’ retrospectives of horror cinema, including discussions of 1990s standouts like Misery and The Silence of the Lambs.
