K-Pop Demon Hunters and Wednesday Addams are popular for tweens and teens, and Paw Patrol and Bluey characters are favorites for preschoolers. From adorable to downright scary and babies to teens, here are the costumes everyone will be wearing this year.
“K-Pop Demon Hunters”
With the animated film “K-Pop Demon Hunters” reigning as the most-watched original film in Netflix history, kids are sure to want to dress up as members of Huntr/x. Amazon has costumes for all three main female characters. For the guys, Light in the Box offers costumes for Saja Boys.
Beyoncé
Girls can channel their inner Beyoncé “Cowboy Carter” style by donning this bedazzled cowboy hat, bandana, rimless glasses and sequin skirt with their best boots. This costume can be easily weatherproofed for trick or treat with a bodysuit or long-sleeved shirt and jeans or leggings underneath the skirt. Don’t forget the microphone!
Wednesday Addams
Kids ages 4–14 can dress up as Wednesday Addams with this great costume set. Includes a black wig with those iconic braids, dress, stockings, hair net and even the disembodied hand, Thing, to accompany Wednesday on her Halloween night rounds.
Bluey and Bingo
Kids love “Bluey,” the show about a family of dogs in Australia. Toddlers and preschoolers will love dressing up as the characters Bluey and Bingo for Halloween. Spirit Halloween offers both character costumes as jumpsuits or as a skirted version (for Bingo too) for those who want to twirl.
“Wicked”
With the sequel, “Wicked: For Good” coming out in November, the witches of Oz will surely be popular this Halloween.

And for babies and toddlers, this costume from Target will make your baby the cutest Flying Monkey on the block.
Alien abduction inflatable costume
This hilarious costume will be the talk of Halloween this year. The inflatable is powered by a fan that uses batteries and leaves the human’s hands and face free for trick or treating and snacking.

Show your kids this Oscar-worthy performance for some inspiration before you head out to trick-or-treat.
