The “Stranger Things” Halloween 2017 Collection Takes You Back to the ’80s!
It’s going to be a “Stranger Things” Halloween, that’s for sure.
The hot costumes of Halloween 2016 may have been Harley Quinn and the Joker, but I’ve got a good feeling that we’re all going to be handing out candy to more than a couple Elevens and Dustins this coming October 31st.
Season One of “Stranger Things” hit Netflix last summer, which didn’t exactly give companies enough time to whip up official costumes and decor for Halloween 2016. But now that the show is mega popular and gearing up for its second season, the merchandising explosion is in full swing.
And Spirit Halloween just unleashed a massive Halloween 2017 collection.
The “Stranger Things” collection includes costumes and wigs that’ll allow you to become fan favorite characters like Eleven, Chief Hopper, Joyce and Barb. Other offerings include Eleven’s socks, Barb’s sunglasses, Joyce’s axe, a Hawkins Police Department coffee mug and even a retro-style, “Stranger Things”-branded telephone!
Browse the complete collection over on Spirit Halloween.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
