The Most Horrifying Squid Game Costume

Netflix

Variety is even taking the DIY “Squid Game” costumes to the next level with their red light, green light costume suggestion. We highly recommend memorizing the horrifying song this animatronic statue sings in the show, so you can truly terrorize your friends and family. I mean, is it really a Halloween costume if it doesn’t haunt at least one person’s nightmares?

No matter which “Squid Game” costume you decide to go with, this is gearing up to be your most comfortable Halloween ever. Embrace it, because next year we’ll be punished with some sort of elaborate costume du jour that requires multiple wig changes and impossible-to-walk-in shoes. Mark my words.

Yes, Of Course There Are Squid Game Halloween Costumes

There’s a crisp edge to the air, the leaves are falling, and you’re steadily increasing the amount of pumpkin-flavored items you consume in a day, almost as if building up a strange immunity to some sort of gourd-based poison … It’s autumn, baby! 

The signs of fall are all around us, including a sudden increase in buck wild Halloween costume production. Thankfully, it’s not 2004 and you don’t have to rely on a half-abandoned Spirit Halloween store that’s popped up in the old Payless location of your local mall to pick up a truly excellent costume — we have the internet for that now! And this holiday season, the internet has absolutely delivered.  If you fell into a short-lived coma recently, you may have missed that “Squid Game,” a South Korean survival-horror series directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, has blown the hell up in popularity. According to the powers that be at Netflix, the nine-episode series is on its way to becoming the most-watched Netflix show ever, and with Halloween just around the corner, costume companies are not sleeping on this overnight sensation. It doesn’t hurt that the show’s visual hallmarks are both immediately recognizable and pretty basic at the same time, making for a costume that is perfectly of the moment and also incredibly easy to produce or even DIY at home.

DIY or Die

I like to think that if you showed up at a Halloween party dressed up as a sexy “Squid Game” contestant, you would immediately garner both fear and respect. You’d win the party.

If dressing up as a player isn’t your speed, you can also grab one of those sweet (and mysterious) red guard costumes. This seller has one with a sad-looking face mask for $27 to $54, but you could also grab this much better-looking mask for $19 and then hit up your local thrift store for a bright pink windbreaker. 

You know they’ll have one in stock, it’s always there.
