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…
