We learned before the weekend that the team behind the upcoming Halloween video game was looking to set a Guinness World Record in Boston, Massachusetts, and they had a specific goal in mind: putting together the “Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Michael Myers.”
That gathering took place on Saturday, March 28, 2026 at 3:30pm ET at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts, and the team noted that they needed at least 250 fans to show up in Michael Myers cosplay in order to slash through the record. We can now report that the Guinness World Record has been set!
Illfonic, Gun Interactive, and Compass Entertainment were officially handed the Guinness World Record for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Michael Myers yesterday, and the team has celebrated with a series of Instagram posts that document the record-breaking assembly of 254 horror fans dressed up as Michael Myers and packed into a single location.
The game’s official Instagram account announced, “We did it! YOU did it! Thank you to everyone who helped make history today by showing up to set the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as Michael Myers! Thank you to Illfonic, Gun, Further Front, and all the fans who helped make today one that the world will always remember.”
“This is one for the horror history books,” they note. Indeed it is!
You can follow the journey through the series of Instagram posts below.
Halloween: The Video Game will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store just in time for Halloween this year on September 8, 2026.
