These 'Squid Game' Halloween Costumes Are Just Creepy Enough

It might be hard to look past the pink jumpsuit, but if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the Squid Game workers have different shapes on their masks. As it turns out, those symbols, well, symbolize something. The ones who have a circle on their masks are the workers, tasked with manual labor. The ones who have triangles are the ones you don’t want to mess with, since they’re armed… and as we’ve seen, ready to shoot. The people with the square shapes on their masks are the managers. And now, you can be a Squid Game worker, too, with this cosplay costume on Amazon. The jumpsuit zips up in the front so you can get in and out of it easily. And if it’s cold outside, you can always pile on the layers underneath. Just be sure to select which type of mask you want so that you don’t end up being a square when you’re really feeling more like a circle.

Creepy dolls are nothing new when it comes to Halloween costumes. And if you watched only watched the first episode of Squid Game, we have two words for you: That. Doll. The animatronic doll used in the Red Light, Green Light game is horrifying to watch, with her crazy eyes, (and the sound of guns shooting down players), so of course you’ll want to dress up as her for Halloween. This Squid Game doll costume combines all the elements of the doll (think yellow shirt, orange romper), and somehow makes it terrifying. Although you could wear this outfit post-Halloween, it might be game over for this costume — and you, too.

All players in the Squid Game sport the exact same tracksuit. The green suit has white patches on the sleeve, and striping down the sides. Now you’ll look like you signed up to play Squid Game when you wear this unmistakable sportswear set. People not familiar with the show will just assume that you’re cruising in comfort for Halloween, but fans of the show will know that you’re in it to win it. They might also feel some stirrings about the number 067 on the tracksuit, since that was the number assigned to player Kang Sae-byeok, (played by Korean model HoYeon Jung), a North Korean defector who is in the Squid Game so that she can get her brother out of an orphanage. If you haven’t seen the series yet, we won’t say more than that.

Even though Squid Game is dark and dystopian, who says you can’t interject a little lighthearted humor into a show that shines a critical spotlight on the haves and have not’s? If you want to talk about how Player 001’s Oh Il-nam “dies” offscreen with other trick-or-treating parents and wonder about his demise, well, a squid on top of your head can diffuse some of the tension. This wink-and-a-nod to your obsession with the Netflix show is cute… and soft. The adult squid headpiece is made from faux-velvet orange hat will sit perched on top of your head, while its tentacles will ensnare you — much like what Squid Game has done to its viewers.

As the overseer of the competition, the Front Man carries a lot of power. Whereas the other staffers wear hot pink tracksuits, the Front Man wears an all-black outfit including a black mask. And now you can look just like the Front Man in this Squid Game official costume. The outfit comes with a mask, gloves, and a long hooded jacket. It’s not until later in the series that the Front Man’s true identity is revealed, along with his sinister connection to the Squid Game. But for fans of the show, there will be no mistaking which role you play in the Game, and it’ll be up to you to reveal your own identity on Halloween night.

Every player in Squid Game is assigned a number. And protagonist Seong Gi-hun (who is Player 456) just happens to be the last player to be included in the chilling children’s games. So it’s understandable why you’d want this Squid Game player raglan shirt, since Gi-hun (spoiler alert!) winds up winning Squid Game — and about 45.6 billion won, which is about $38.6 million dollars. Luckily, this shirt from Etsy seller MintedLLC, will only cost you about $18 bucks. The shirt has ¾ raglan sleeves and a classic fit on the body. You can customize the shirt to any number you’d like, but if you’ve watched the show, you know that number 456 is truly the winning one.

Nothing (and no one) is who they appear to be in Squid Game. All of the workers and staffers assisting in the games are covered head to toe, so you can’t see who they are… even if it’s someone you might know (like, ahem, your long-lost brother). The leader of the workers is the Front Man, who wears a mask very similar to the one Etsy seller JigglyWigglyToys is selling. The Front Man mask comes with an adjustable elastic string, so that your true identity will never be revealed. There is a foam/no foam option to keep your face comfy while you wear the mask, and you can even get it in a male or female size. Because who’s to say that the Front Man has to be, well, a man?
