“Stranger Things” Ruled Halloween This Year; Check Out Some Awesome Costumes!
They look pretty. Good. They look pretty good.
Well before anyone even started prepping for Halloween, fans across the country had already begun dressing up as their favorite characters from this past summer’s Netflix series “Stranger Things.” In fact, we collected together some of our favorite “Stranger Things” cosplay back in August. But Halloween, well, it was absolutely dominated by the show.
If you attended any Halloween parties this year, you surely came across a handful of mega-fans dressed up as beloved characters like Eleven, Dustin, and Barb. I spent Halloween night at a bar that was filled almost exclusively with people cosplaying as characters and even specific props and moments from the show, and I’ve gotta say, it was really cool to see that something so new has already become so iconic. The series has been criticized for being little more than an homage to the past, but it sure has created a vast amount of new iconography here in the present.
Of course, it would be impossible to highlight all the “Stranger Things” costumes that made this year’s Halloween feel so very ’80s, but we wanted to at least scour Imgur and pluck out some choice selections. So below you’ll find some of our favorite “Stranger Things” costumes we’ve come across, all of which should put a smile on your face.
Bring on Season 2, Netflix!
And perhaps the most impressive costume of all…
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
