Halloween 2025 is here, and with that, every horror fan is ready to flex some great costumes to wear on this festive day. Of course, there are numerous great costumes that you can choose this year. You can wear something from previous years or go for something entirely new or fresh. If the latter is the case, why not go with a costume that is inspired by some of the greatest horror movies released in 2025? Well, if you are thinking the same, this list might make the choice a bit easier for you.
1. Aunt Gladys (Weapons)
The 2025 horror movie Weapons, which became a global sensation, introduced us to Aunt Gladys. The character didn’t reveal herself at the start, but as the story progressed, she emerged as the main antagonist, responsible for all the bad things that happened.
To build this look for this year’s Halloween party, you must pick up old-lady clothes, be it a plain shirt and long skirt or a maxi dress. Use pale makeup and try to add some cracks on your skin with pain or makeup itself. Besides that, wear big, round glasses and a wig. Also, use tomato ketchup to create an illusion of blood on your hands. You can also gather four to five children from your neighbourhood to give a fun element to this look.
2. Death’s Survivor (Final Destination: Bloodlines)
If you want a creepy look but without going too much into gore, try picking out Death’s survivor from Final Destination: Bloodlines. This look won’t trouble you much; all you need to do is pick a rugged jeans and a torn shirt. Just imagine how a person would look who has just escaped death. After that, apply a lighter foundation to achieve a pale or shocked look. Smudge some eyeshadow to create dark circles around your eyes.
3. Infected (28 Years Later)
28 Years Later took the legacy of the 28 Days Later film series forward. So, creating a look from the 2025 film will be the best decision you can make this Halloween. Also, clearing things out, the infected that we see in 28 Years Later are technically not zombies. They are just humans who got exposed to the ‘rage virus’ that turned them into entities with pure aggression; they are not brain-dead, though.
So, just take your casual outfits and cut some patches to give that torn look. Besides that, use a greyish or very light-toned foundation to make your face and hands look like your body is low on blood. You can also use thin eyeliner strokes on your face to show veins.
4. Frendo the Clown (Clown in a Cornfield)
You might be familiar with Pennywise the Dancing Clown, but have you ever heard of Frendo the Clown? If not, I just want to let you know that he is nowhere less than the one we met in IT. You can watch the trailer here and decide whether he is a perfect Halloween subject.
Rent a clown costume and paint your face white. Also, pick a pair of big shoes and a weapon to complete the look.
5. The Haunted Toy (The Monkey)
Remember the cursed Monkey toy from The Money Movie? Well, what could be more perfect than embodying that evil for a costume this Halloween? Also, finding a costume for this character, or shall I say, toy, isn’t that difficult. All you need is a red vest, paired with a red T-shirt or pants. Then, you need a mask that resembles the monkey, of course. Finally, to give it a more aesthetic and horror touch, carry a drum with two sticks. Now, that’s what you call a perfect Halloween 2025 costume.
6. Smoke (Sinners)
Sinners is one of the best horror and thrillers to release in 2025, so could you leave this masterpiece off your list this Halloween? It’s a vampire tale that gives you chills at several moments. And of course, you can flex the outfit for Stack, the twin brother who turned vampire. However, I’d suggest that you wear the incredible outfit of Smoke. All you need is brown pants, a white rough sando, and of course, a Gun Holster.
7. MEGAN (MEGAN 2.0)
MEGAN, the incredible horror and slasher combo, came back with its much-awaited sequel in 2025. And despite some negativity, the movie made the MEGAN doll a memorable character for the fans. Even if you didn’t enjoy the film, you can’t argue that the character design for the android doll is incredible. So, hey, listen to me, why not embody that same look in Halloween 2025? And if you have the character even once, you know that the outfit isn’t that difficult to copy.
8. Heart Eyes (Heart Eyes)
Heart Eyes is yet another masterful horror/slasher movie that was released in 2025. Like Halloween and other franchises, Heart Eyes seems to have great potential to stay with us in the long run. We can see multiple sequels of the movie, if we are fortunate, of course. So, it’s best that you surprise your neighbors with the costume of the Heart Eyes killer. To embody the evil spirit of this character, just wear some dark outfit, and of course, a mask with Heart Eyes is a must. Who knows, maybe you will help other horror fans by introducing them to Horror Eyes with this costume.
