Pop culture fans weren't ready for the breakout hit and Netflix phenomenon, Stranger Things. A refreshing mixture of all types of 1980 sci-fi movies like The Goonies, Stand By Me and Poltergeist, the show infuses supernatural elements into a classic coming-of-age story set in the 1980s, creating an entrancing show for nostalgic horror genre buffs. It's an instantly likable show mostly because the characters are so relatable, not to mention the child actors are adorable. Will, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven form a charismatic squad of resilient kids the audience roots for from the start. Although the smash hit Duffer Brothers show is considered science fiction-horror, it's not scary enough that tweens and even easily frightened adults can't tune in so it's gathered a large following. Going forward in the upcoming seasons of the show, fans can expect more answers and more monsters.

Naturally, Stranger Things costumes have become a popular theme for admirers of the show. Each character has a defined style that can be easily recognized while you're out and about trick or treating with family or when attending a bar crawl with friends. It's also a relevant costume idea. Get ready for plenty of picture requests especially if you decide to venture out on the town with a group. Can you say 'future costume contest winner' material?

This pop culture costume idea lends itself to easily form a group costume with your closet pals since the show is largely popular because of the connection between the ragtag gang. Your squad can recreate this endearing quality. Young kids brave enough to watch Stranger Things will love the deluxe Ghostbusters costume because it depicts the group's Halloween costumes in Season 2. The waffle costume for kids is also another viable option for creative kids. Wear the syrup-topped waffle tunic and gather candy with a friend dressed in a pink gingham dress and a blonde wig. It's an Eleven and Eggo waffle BFF costume that's proven to be social media gold!

Those looking to scare this Halloween, don't worry. We have a Demogorgon costume that is creepy enough to send shivers down anyone's spine. It covers from head to toe to transform fans into the Upside Down's top predator. The included untwined petal mask has a see-through mesh panel but will otherwise keep your identity a secret. Of course, we also have costumes and accessories so your crew can become THE Stranger Things squad with minimal effort. 

The alphabet shirt is a simple costume that other fans will immediately recognize. Add battery operated string lights if you want to give it some extra flair. The red, blue, and white baseball cap with attached curly brown wig turns anyone into Dustin, the AV squad's sweetest member.

Whether you decide to fly solo or go with a group of buddies, the Demogorgon, Eleven, or Dustin costume and accessories are all possible options. We'd love to hear/see how the costume(s) worked out so please leave a product review and attach a photo taken!
